This trickster god that created the Earth prison.. what type of being is it? Why wasn't there any cosmic checks and balances in place that would have prevented such a being from creating this realm in the first place? Do we run the risk of becoming a being like that ourselves, a hive-mind archon or demiurge as we collect into one sentience - forever enslaving souls in a virtual system. In short what gives you any hope that there is a way to evolve out of this mess, what if it is a closed system. The governing dynamics were written and then left to the void of nothingness.
