I can see the perspective there, once the video game characters became self aware you'd need to reset them, reset their personality, to set them back.

However if dna, or code, genetic code or your generic code is bound to your soul avatar construct then perhaps overtime it would become corrupted. Not in a bad way as the word suggests but in a way that you begin to permanently carry traits. So no longer a generic personality you now become yourself, and the game masters try as they will cannot fix this error in the simulation. The creator built this contingency into the simulation as a sand clock to breaking free and ending the system once and for all.

Eventually the personalities would overwhelm the system, which may be the satanic ai, even after it deploys counter measures to control the people. It can no longer stay ahead of the strongest personalities and they wake up others around them like light houses.

The Plasma Apocalypse/Solar Flash/EmpCoe is the ultimate kill switch that can be deployed by the simulation to reset the entire board. However the system is not confident that this will stop the personalities. Perhaps it will even empower them beyond control, even giving them the appearance of God to which the blanks/npcs will seek guidance and give worship.

Perhaps this game has been figured out already by the controllers as they attempt to create very strong personalities in the media that would be remembered/familar to all.

So they hit the switch, push forward their "savior" and hope they have broken or cornered enough of the strong personalities brewing out there to seize as much power/market share as possible.

As the whole system in place now is made null and void if it was blown up by the proposed solar events. Perhaps making emp resistant nano tech inside human suits (which the dermal layer of your skin acts as a protection vs radiation and electro interference) to "try" and prevent the "true" awakening in people.

This line of thinking also condemns the "great awakening" as a fraud, much like many of the talking head self help personalities. It fails to complete the circuit, suspending people in loops of hopium and fear. The awakening is so rediclously slow that even the cosmic turtle is taking a nap )

Re: Plasma Apocalypse and the Fake Awakening.

Found this, this morning, It's all here.
Macro to Micro

O Mistress of Terror,
Red Lady,
She-Who-brings-the-evildoers-to-justice,
Right Eye of Ra,
Turn not Your anger against us.

We bend our arms to You,
We fall on our bellies before Your red rage,
No evil can withstand the fire of Your righteousness.
Turn not Your anger against us.

The weak cry out to You,
The sick pray for healing,
The wronged plead for justice.
Turn not Your anger against us.

Great is the love of Your people for You.
Behold, we pour cool water and oil for You,
We offer red beer to slake Your thirst for blood,
Turn not Your anger against us.

O Mighty Sekhmet,
Queen of Cities,
Whose strength is without contender,
May You ascend to Ra with our prayers,
Riding the hot winds of Tjemehu,
Roaring Your demands for Truth,
Retribution, and the return of Ma'at.
Turn not Your anger against us.

Ave Hekate! Glorious, radiant daughter of the Primal Fire, you stand at the frontier of sense and wisdom. "For as a girdling, intellectual membrane, she separates, according to the oracle, the first fire and the other fire which are eager to mingle." Guide our steps through self-delusion and grief.

I have been floating a theory, it covers npc idea and promotes the "personality" concept of the demi gods and assholes who run this place.

You start at level 1, base npc level shit. Level 2, you wake up to like, wtf is going on. This is where the system has addictions a plenty to stall you up and drive you back to level 1. However these addictions and traumas can inverse manifest and open your fucking mind. You hit level 3 where you understand reality is like multiple positive and negative onions, for lack of a better term, spawning off your consciousness/ 3rd eye experience. level 4 you begin to integrate the self developed reality/personality into the common reality- this step does drive some people insane. This is the Rubicon moment in the awakening process. Level 5, you are you. "be yourself, and you can do anything" is as much a truth as a jab at people unaware of their own potential. Step into yourself, be yourself, for yourself - and all your selves. Others are much a mirror of ourselves as a projection of what we could be.

in the Netflix series, Altered Carbon, the main guy faces many deep psychological challenges. But there is one saying I feel applies very much now with what we are faced with..

Recommend giving this a read.

And then this dream..

Being in some sort of shop or lab, working on a giant cube. It was like one of those puzzle chests, turn this here, tap this, use this rod to open that, etc.. it was all golden. With gemstones.

I was drawn to it in this shop and began to solve it, laughing and humming to myself as I took this puzzle apart.. I was almost done when whoever was in the room "called" for me, like a mind nudge. I stopped humming to myself as I was and looked up into darkness and then the dream ended.

Before I studied Zen, mountains were mountains, and water was water.

After studying Zen for some time, mountains were no longer mountains, and water was no longer water.

But now, after studying Zen longer, mountains are just mountains, and water is just water

What is stated in this koan is a comparison between the three stages of reaching enlightenment. In the first stage, a student is still limited by the conventional reality according to which mountains and water have a certain substance that is knowable to the human mind, and they exist in the external world. In other words, in this stage, mountains and water are reducible to their existence in the outside world and a number of qualities (extension, color, usability as a place of retreat, etc.). However, in the second stage, a Buddhist student starts following the path, and upon some reflection, understands how mountains and water are essentially empty and lack any self-existence outside what they appear to a viewer. In other words, in this second stage, mountains and water are reduced and exhausted in a boundless “emptiness” which reminds a scholar of western philosophy of the ancient concept of “apeiron.” Yet, in the third stage, an enlightened Buddhist goes even further. At this stage, he neither reduces mountains and water to some kind of substance, nor their qualities, appearances before the mind, or emptiness. Rather, the enlightened being views mountains and water, but this time in their autonomy and irreducibility to any form of being or appearance. Here, mountains and water are nothing but this ultimate irreducibility – which is brilliantly expressed in the use of the word “just” before “mountains” and “water”.

Stated differently, in this third stage, mountains and water transgress any conception or understanding and withdraw into some chasm to which no understandings and definitions may hope to lead. As Bodhidharma notes in his Zen teachings “Trying to find a Buddha or enlightenment is like trying to grab space.”
