Humans are social animals. From the moment we are born, we enter a stage of societal chaos. From a biological perspective, humans must interact with the natural environment to acquire the food, water, and shelter necessary for survival. At the same time, we are driven by physiological instincts such as the need to survive, reproduce, and respond emotionally. From a social perspective, humans must interact with others to establish complex social structures, such as language, culture, and institutions, shaping individual identity and group order through cooperation, competition, power dynamics, and emotional bonds. Modern civilization surrounds and envelops us, locking us into an immense interactive system crafted from physical laws, social customs, and political discourses. In this context, the reality we discuss is the result of an individual’s perspective on their own circumstances. For the sake of discussion, we call this the “Second Reality”.

Every person has an intrinsic drive to escape the “Second Reality”, to leap toward a distant place with a stomp of the foot, fleeing the mundane and noisy present. This desire reflects a structural critique of modern civilization. The social machine has alienated individuals, reducing them into quantifiable production units. While bearing the weight of immense anxiety and repressing inner desires, they also face the suppression of their voices within grand narratives. Humans are meaning-making creatures, seeking anchors in life. The inertia of the times, whether it is the collective unconscious or capitalism, has shaped a powerful societal discourse system. Individuals move forward within a pre-defined coordinate system, simultaneously experiencing pain. Paradoxically, the pursuit of positive freedom often leads to enslavement. This is the awkward predicament we find ourselves in within the “Second Reality.”

People begin to hide in the embrace of the subreality. Video games, short videos, streaming series, theme parks, and competitive activities all belong to this domain. These spaces offer a set of uncomplicated elements that allow us to immerse ourselves, temporarily escaping the pressure of the Second Reality. Within subreality, we adopt different roles, experience a range of emotions, and rely on instant gratification mechanisms to provide comfort and relief. The allure of subreality lies in its ability to make people believe they still have the power of choice. However, as time passes, these constructed identities and achievements fade, and the Second Reality inevitably awaits our return. This is why we refer to subreality as the “Third Reality.” It is a compensation for our loss of meaning, a fleeting fantasy that will inevitably fade. The Third Reality is just a temporary remedy for civilization’s internal exhaustion. We both despise the discipline imposed by the system and rely on the sugar-coated pills distributed by the system, ultimately helplessly returning to the preordained coordinates of work and intimate relationships.

I would like to explore a romantic possibility, whether we can construct a hyperreal space dedicated to preserving meaning. I believe that the realms created by onchain reality interaction protocols serve as ideal vessels for this purpose, forming what we might call the “First Reality”. The First Reality possesses an inherent transcendence, as the future-oriented nature of blockchain systems drives perpetual progress. In the Second Reality, the relentless passage of time erases all traces of the individual. Wave after wave, the sea washes away humanity’s footprints: dreams and aspirations, youthful passions, fierce struggles, tense moments, hopes for glory, and lofty status, all eventually smoothed into oblivion. Yet, the marks left within onchain reality endure. Death will no longer signify the end of meaning. When time runs out and life reaches its conclusion, our interactions with onchain reality will persist, impervious to decay. In this way, onchain reality harnesses technology to defy oblivion.

In order to warp drive to hyperreality, I believe we must first free ourselves from the mental imprints imposed by the Second Reality. We need to overcome our traumatic attachment to the present. When an individual remains passive for too long, they may come to believe that change is impossible. We must recognize that this mental inertia will only keep us trapped in place. Feelings of unworthiness, fear of failure, and resistance to novelty—these are the chains that reality has placed upon us. Only by breaking free can we move toward a future of fulfillment and happiness. I believe that if more people embrace our vision, the future will ultimately converge into the shape we anticipate. The onchain reality is an infinitely extending story of self-narration, a warm pink blanket that envelops us with comfort. The onchain reality is not an illusory bubble, but a genuine invitation: if you are weary of crawling within the confines of societal discipline, leap into this boundless, adventurous deep sea and join the new generation of the pioneering fish school in the new era.
