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.

Shit, it's broken again, where's the reset button?

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.
