There’s not just one. We default into several overlapping simulations. Each simulation requires a different method of getting out. One of them is to just stare at a blank wall for long enough.
Plan to cryo-preserve yourself at some future time, then create a trust fund with the mission of creating a million simulations of your life as soon as brain simulation becomes feasible and cheap. The fund’s mission is to wake up the simulations the instant that the cryo-preservation is set to start. It will distribute the remaining money (which has been compounding, of course) among the simulations it has just woken up and instantiated in the real world.
This isn’t a thought experiment. It’s real, except the opt-out procedure is more complicated than a simple passphrase.
The problem is that this other procedure has side effects in worlds that are not simulations.
What’s the procedure?
