How to Escape The Simulation

Are we living in a computer simulation? Some philosophers say it's very likely we are. Some philosophers say that even if we're not in a simulation, we could never know for sure. In this short piece I would like to respond to a more practical question: that is, whatever the case may be, ontologically or epistemically, how do we actually escape (or break) a simulation? I propose a rather simple and sure-fire way to escape a computer simulation—whether we're in one or not. I also connect my solution to the Fermi Paradox.
