It is a cruel irony of life that in order to finally perceive the system from outside, one must first face the forced removal from that system via death...

That's if we do indeed get that revelation when we die - we may just suddenly find ourselves reborn, back in the great game (and if memory survives for a moment, find ourselves like Hitchhikers sentient flower pots, thinking to ourselves 'oh no, not again? ).
I think that desire to understand the system is an inevitable function of being apparently conscious of its possible existence - it's something you either ponder, or just push to a quiet neighborhood of your own subconscious, so you can on with the vital matters of existence, like eating/procreation, thinking about the above, getting annoyed with not getting enough of the above & wondering why anyone gives a monkeys about the Kardashians...
