"Different Dimension Hackers", what can you do if you know the truth of the world

Why did Jia Baoyu say "this younger sister has seen it before" when he first met Lin Daiyu?

Why do we often feel déjà vu about what is happening in front of us? As if everything that just happened happened before.

Is it possible that the world we live in is actually a virtual one? Everything is fake. It's just a game and a dream.

Ancient Indians believed that the world was a dream of Brahma, the creator of the world. When Brahma woke up, the world disappeared.

It is more likely that our world is a game, a playground built by some kind of god-level civilization, and we are all NPCs in the game (abbreviation for Non-Player Character, generally referring to "non-player characters").

We call such great gods Gods. Maybe to kill boredom, maybe to get more enjoyment in the game, God will be possessed by NPCs in our world from time to time to pass the time. At the same time, what the gods don't know is that maybe they themselves are living in games created by a higher civilization.

The world is one such infinitely nested game.

The sci-fi movie "Another Dimension Hacker" tells such a story.

In 1998, a group of coders created a game. The game time is set in 1937, and the NPCs in the game are lifelike, with their own work and entertainment, exactly like real people. The code farmers in 1998 could inject their consciousness into an NPC to experience their life for fun.

What the coders in 1998 didn't know was that they actually lived in a virtual game created by someone in 2024. David is one of the players of this game. After playing for a long time, he developed a despicable hobby, which is to kill innocent people indiscriminately in the game. His wife couldn't stand it anymore, and sneaked into the game while he wasn't paying attention to fight against him. In the end, he played a powerful trickster and let David die in the game. David's consciousness and soul disappeared forever. But his wife's ending was not so good. Before she had time to be happy, her world was shut down. It turns out that the world in 2024 is just a virtual game.

The real genius of "The Hackers of Different Dimension" is that it is likely to reveal the truth of our world.

Since ancient times, legends of gods have been popular in our world. Let us think about it carefully, what is the essence of God and God? Immortality, omnipotence, etc. In fact, with the development speed of our world, it is very likely that all these qualities will soon be realized one by one. That is to say, in the near future, human beings are likely to exhaust all the truths in this universe, and there is no knowledge and laws that human beings cannot understand and use. At that time, human beings will also become gods. God, in fact, is the future man.

From another angle, we are three-dimensional creatures living in four dimensions, that is, we have three dimensions of length, width and height, plus the dimension of time. If there is only length and width but no height, it is a two-dimensional picture. For us, movie pictures and computer game pictures are two-dimensional pictures that can move, and the characters in them can be regarded as two-dimensional creatures. In our opinion, two-dimensional creatures are pitiful, because they do not have height, do not even know the existence of height, and cannot control height. We can assume that there are four-dimensional beings of a higher order than us who can dominate the dimension of time just as we can dominate the dimension of height. To them, we are poor three-dimensional creatures, crawling in the one-dimensional dimension of time. These four-dimensional creatures have an unobstructed view of our three-dimensional creatures, and can control our time, giving more game time, or less, but it depends on the mood. When you get tired of playing, it's a big deal to shut down. Therefore, the so-called god may actually be a higher-level existence than us, a four-dimensional creature.

Of course, it is also possible that people in the future will be four-dimensional creatures. With the advancement of science and technology, human beings control the dimension of time, and can return to the past and the future at will, prolong or shorten time, change the flow rate of time, and even reverse time. Then, people in the future will be no different from four-dimensional creatures.

If these are really the truths of this world, then what?

Then you can answer the question at the beginning of the article, why did Jia Baoyu meet Lin Daiyu at first sight? Because his body god Ying Servant and Lin Daiyu's body Jiangzhuxian herbal medicine are gods, they have met each other long ago in heaven, and they are very familiar with each other.

Lin Daiyu is really stupid, to repay her kindness with tears, she was willing to go down to earth and suffer, and she died. She even forgot where she came from, crying every day and asking "Where is the Xiangqiu at the end of the sky?" bury her.

Knowing the truth of the world and still loving it, it is said to be the only great heroism.

From this we can see that the truth of the world is necessarily not ideal and extremely bad.

This year's popularity is unfinished, Game of Thrones is unfinished, Black Mirror is unfinished, and the original Dream of Red Mansions is unfinished. Can't there be a perfect point of art? Why do beautiful things have to be destroyed for others to see? Maybe this is the truth of the world. The truth is that the world is always disgusting, garbage will accumulate and irreversible, just like the law of thermodynamics that entropy increases infinitely, the universe will inevitably die, but as a living being living in it, you still have to love it. Because you have no choice.
