If it's a simulation someone must be running it. Maybe we could get their attention somehow.

Praying obviously doesn't work. Maybe if we all stripped naked and just kind of started getting it on in a giant juicy fuck pile that would get their attention.

And they could make things suck less.

That's assuming the someone running the simulation is even aware we are here. For all we know, they're just trying to model out the behavior of stars and black holes.

That's why we should get all up in each others' holes

If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.
