In 1999, I was only two years old, and it took 18 years for me to come into contact with this film. Just looking at the title of the film is definitely the type that is unimpressive. I think today is a good opportunity.

Maybe there is a border in the world, I have never seen it, and I have never thought about it. The truth is that I am in this world right now, and I have an acre of land in my heart, such as the lively home, the school I went to, the street I often go to, the park where I walk. It's these little places that make up the world I live in. The advent of the Internet has allowed me to learn about different people from all over the world, I even know the shape of the earth, and I know that people are exploring the universe beyond the earth. All that is seen and known comes from existing knowledge that can be acquired at will. Are we thinking about something? Or is thinking itself a passive knowledge transfer?

After video games were created, there were protests from many families. It is considered to be in a negative life, affecting normal life. Naturally, some people think so now. A long, long time ago, a word called "Internet addiction" was coined, which is a term for people who are addicted to the Internet. Now, basically no one talks about it, maybe everyone suffers from a symptom called "Internet addiction". The occurrence of local small-probability events can be called rare, and what is ubiquitous and occurring is habitual. Back to video games. Take a national phenomenon-level mobile game-Honor of Kings, let’s make a bold assumption. The game characters we control have their own thoughts. When they are not manipulated, they have their own lives. At a certain moment, because of our Turning on the game, our consciousness is imposed on them, so in the Valley of Kings we dominate them in a killing game of destroying local defense towers and winning. You never thought about whether the hero you manipulated would suffer from being attacked. Some people will laugh: it's just a game! Fake! we play!

The canyon is so big that you can see it from start to finish in a few minutes, and the canyon boundary is very easy to see, probably because you can see the end of the world, so you can assume it is virtual. You are full of a sense of control. The different dimension hacker provides you with another way of thinking, come and have a look.

Let's make an assumption: the game "My World" is called the first layer world, the world we are in is called the second layer world, the second layer world manipulates the pixel blocks of the first layer world to build and survive, if it is more advanced , can create a simple calculator in the first layer world, and run it, trying to restore the computer in the computer. Suppose there is a third-level world above the second-level world. The creatures of this world manipulate the creatures of the second-level world and then manipulate the creatures of the first-level world to create the creatures of the 0-level world. It's all around, and no one knows who controls who.

Maybe the level of the world does not have zero, one, two, three, maybe they influence each other, for example, world number zero controls number three, number three controls number one, number one controls number two, number two controls number zero, etc., but All are part of a small world. '

Seeing this, your thinking will extend endlessly, but who can know whether your thinking is deliberately guided or self-generated? So are you self-aware? The boundaries of the world I have never seen, and even the world I live in is changing with each passing day. Who is uploading and who is downloading?

No one knows!
