Life inside the “Matrix” — and how to disconnect from it

Question from the Internet:

“What are some arguments against living in a simulation?”

We can’t have too many arguments against living in a simulation, since most of us, including our sciences, psychology agree that we are all born with an inherently egocentric, subjective consciousness, perception of reality.

This means, that we exist in the simulation our own self-serving, self-justifying, self-serving, and introverted consciousness paints, projects for us, we all live within our own “Plato’s Caves”.

If we wanted to leave this very limited and distorted simulation, we need to learn how to perceive, experience reality “outside of us”, through the desires, needs, viewpoints of others, where our “self” disappears and we exist only to selflessly, unconditionally serve others.

By that we gain a truly objective viewpoint of reality, completely liberated from the original, egocentric, and subjective limitations of time, space, and motion — here and now.
