In the black hole of the metaverse, I am like a PNG that can't be opened——

Recently, the things being shared in the Chinese Twitter community have become increasingly incomprehensible, and it feels very fragmented:

I suspect I have entered a parallel world!?

Familiar yet unfamiliar!

I increasingly have the illusion of standing outside a glass wall watching people talk: the language is familiar, but the context is strange, and the topics being discussed sound like noise drifting in from another timeline, loud but neither resonating nor illuminating the path ahead.

Information rushes in like tides, yet leaves no usable shells behind.

More and more space is being taken up by things that have nothing to do with us; here, 'nothing to do with' refers to things that neither enhance understanding nor inspire profit, all just commentary and gossip about others, full of hype, but scrolling through Twitter feels like watching Douyin.

What a drama!

Sometimes I feel like I am still in this world, and other times I feel like a ghost that only exists in the cache. My self is like a layer upon layer of rice paper, so blurred that I can barely recognize the outline.

I don't know if my perception has malfunctioned or if the frequency of the world has quietly changed channels.

Sometimes I feel like I am still in Web3, and other times it feels like I am still stuck in a frame from DeFi Summer, becoming an unopened PNG, my self-awareness feels like half of a wallet mnemonic has been lost, so blurry that I can't even connect to the chain. I don’t know if my understanding is lagging behind or if this circle has already spiraled into its own black hole of the metaverse.

Or is this all just my illusion?
