I finally understand why Musk is convinced that we live in a "simulated world."

Elon Musk:The probability that we are living in base reality is one in a billion.

Neil deGrasse Tyson (famous American astrophysicist):I wish I could find a strong argument to refute it (the hypothesis that the world is virtual), but I can't find one.

I am an investor, an entrepreneur, and I believe in code, logic, and verifiable data. This sci-fi conjecture is, in my opinion, nothing but a billionaire's after-dinner entertainment.

But what really started to shake my beliefs was not Musk or physics, but two “metaphysical” small incidents that happened to me.

The first small incident, about a Bazi master

I have a Bazi master I've worked with for many years. Before investing in new projects, I always ask him for a reading. I’m not superstitious, I just consider it an alternative "risk assessment".

But absurdly, the results he provides are remarkably aligned with my eventual investment returns. He can even accurately point out the challenges the project will face at various stages.

At first, I thought it was coincidence. But when this "coincidence" happened more than a dozen times, I had to admit: there must be a logic behind it that I do not understand.

The second small incident, about my tarot reader best friend

I have a best friend who excels in every way, with impeccable family background and education. A few years ago, she suddenly said she wanted to learn tarot.

At that moment, I thought she was crazy. But since I was too familiar with her, I couldn't bring myself to say so.

Later, I started to ask her some questions in a playful manner. As a result, her readings were incredibly accurate.

I began to feel uneasy about it. I asked her to do readings in different ways: offline laying cards, shaking cards on the phone, even having her repeat readings for the same question. Surprisingly, the core information each time was astonishingly consistent.

I was completely stunned. I asked her: “What is the principle behind tarot?”

She gave me an explanation that sent chills down my spine:

“You can understand this world as a vast database. A tarot reader is like a programmer, with different abilities and varying levels of ‘database access permissions’. The higher the ability, the more comprehensive and accurate the data they can retrieve. Tarot is just a tool we use to query this database.”

“Database permissions”... this term struck me like a lightning bolt.

I suddenly remembered Musk's words. I began to reassess this world from the most fundamental perspective of a programmer.

Then, I discovered that the "coincidences" kept increasing to the point where I couldn't refute them.

Coincidence One: "Junk Code" in DNA

Our DNA is like an extremely complex code. But strangely, 98% of its sequences are "junk DNA" that do not encode proteins.

Why is there so much “useless” code?

If we see the world as a program, this is easy to explain:

  • That is legacy code from old versions.

  • That is functionality which has been commented out but not deleted.

  • That is redundant data left after system upgrades.

Like old files on your computer, although they are no longer used, you are too lazy to delete them.

Coincidence Two: "Version Updates" Before and After the Great Flood

Why do all the ancient civilizations around the world have a shared memory of the “Great Flood”? In China, there is Nuwa repairing the sky, in the West there is Noah’s Ark.

Why in these myths do humans before the Great Flood have astonishingly long lifespans (often eight or nine hundred years), while after the Great Flood, lifespans plummet?

Doesn’t this resemble a “reset” of the server?

  1. Great Flood = System Reset

  2. High lifespan before the flood = Parameters of the old version

  3. Declining lifespan after the flood = Parameter adjustments of the new version (possibly to limit player abilities)

Coincidence Three: "Performance Limits" of the Universe

⭕️Big Bang:Not a singularity, but the system booting up (UNIVERSE.EXE LOADING...)

⭕️Speed of light:Not a physical limit, but the CPU frequency limit

⭕️Déjà vu:Not memory confusion, but cache errors

When I connected these clues, I reached a chilling conclusion:

The world we live in, if you think about it from a “virtual” perspective, everything suddenly makes sense.

So, if this is true, what should we do? Lie down?

This conclusion initially made me feel very nihilistic. If everything is code, what is the meaning of our efforts?

But metaphysics gave me another answer:You can change your fate.

Yes, this world may be virtual, but all your feelings—love, joy, pain, and sense of accomplishment—areabsolutely real.

Your fate is like the factory settings of a game character; it determines your limits. For example, I may never become the richest person in the world in my lifetime.

However, I can strive to live up to my limits in my own version.

I can fully experience all the beauty this world has to offer, feel every heartbeat, and create my own value.

Because, experience is the only real thing in this game.

Conclusion: From "Player" to "Advanced Player"

As I write this, I finally understand Musk's certainty. He is not playing philosophy; he is thinking about the truth of our existence through first principles.

Simulation theory is not pessimistic. On the contrary, it gives us unprecedented freedom.

Our generation is at a great turning point, shifting from being passive "players" to active "advanced players". With the keys of Web3 and AI in our hands, we have the first opportunity to explore and even modify the rules of this “simulated world”.

And that is far more important than figuring out whether the world is real or not.

So, stop laughing. The next time you encounter an unexplainable "coincidence", consider this:

What kind of role do you want to play in this game?
