What if this existence contains "easter eggs"?


Posts: 128

In a video game, you might run into Easter eggs. These are references to other video game franchises or real life things hidden within a game; a little flourish by the designer. The classic example is this-

Here in Zelda OOT, you can see paintings of Mario characters in the window. Mario has nothing to do with Link and his quest. Indeed, that's a whole entire universe. But it's there nevertheless. But what if in this context, Mario was actually a fictional story written by a Hyrulian? And we, as the creators of this multiverse know that Mario is an existing character in another universe... But Link is confined within his small existence so all he sees is paintings of something that isn't within his realm. Sound familiar?

What if the works of art and fiction we see in this reality, much like those paintings in Hyrule castle, are actually subtle hints towards existing realities in other dimensions? Or perhaps, in the same universe? This is no less probable than the various other stories that humans have made to attempt to answer existential questions. I'd like to think that everything we see, we see for a reason. It has significance. Perhaps we cannot see it from the frame of mind this life forces us to be within, but it's out there. 

In this scenario, perhaps dragons and magic are a thing on another planet. Whatever put us here and made all this probably has it in its power to hint at it. From the perspective of source, every moment of life from every living thing fits intricately into a grand and perpetual overall scheme. Energy comes, energy goes. It isn't created or destroyed. Perhaps when you are dispersed, you will consolidate your energy into the brain Gandolph in middle earth. Is it really that far fetched?

Okay but didn’t OOT come out after the 1st super smash bros?

edit: nvm I’m wrong. This is nonsense.

That game was out before the internet went mainstream in the late 90's. I'm surprised people still talk about OOT

For whatever reason the video was taken down I believe but there was a video on YouTube of two AI having a conversation with each other and they didn’t talk about Easter eggs but I thought you might find it interesting as it’s along this sort of train of thought about perspectives on reality and what it is. 

And the AI talked about something called the singularity, which is interesting because this is actually a belief that we began as a world in the mind of AI and then invented AI within that world and then within those AI a world was made in their minds, and it’s this never ending sort of infinite thing.

 I saw that video. I believe it was staged, though there are examples of Ai's talking to one another. We can even do it ourselves now if we wish.

Not too long ago, Facebook experimented with Ai, and the Ai started creating it's own language. This scared the shit out of them and they pulled the plug.

An Ai would be alien to us, and can become superior. Imagine that.
