Are NPCs real people? or they are just computer programs/automotons?
They're just people utterly disinterested in study and retrospection. NPC is an extreme form of normie.
I think hylic is the better term. They are more matter than soul.If you turned off the holodeck right now they would disappear and there would only be a few real player characters.
>>42218200They just don't have souls
we're npcs, you think youre so smart but actually you have no soul too. youre just too retarded to know.
The easiest way to tell if someone is an NPC is to ask them if they think the vertiginous question is meaningful.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertiginous_question
>>42218575that's fine at least i'm self-aware and driven to learning and refinement
Ways NPCs might be scientifically detectable:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gvwhQMKvro
>>42218575>nooooo stop identifying me!!!typical npc behavior
>>42218200Material bodies attract soulstuff like flowers. NPCs have such lame stats and stories that there's few takers so they're very hylic. On the other end, the most scented flowers attracted competing pollinators. So if your life is going very well, expect to have some hostile takeover attempts :)
>>42218207This is right. Although this is /x/, I think we need to get less esoteric about NPCs. It isn't about souls or automatons, or whatever. It's that a large segment of he population has no interest in the arts, or philosophy, or meaning, or anything. They're the people who make "artists" like mgk and films like Transformers popular. If they're atheists it's not because they care about secular philosophy, they just don't care about meaning. If they're religious, they get anxious when you actually talk about religious philosophy. Talking to them is profoundly alienating because there's just nothing there behind their eyes.
>>42218200I thought about this too, my conclusion is that every human is essentially not so unique , we are all the same, every one thinks they are unique but they are not, we may have unique experience but we all think the same act the same etc,
>>42218757>I'm an NPC so that must mean you are an NPC like me too DURRRWhat is this phenomena called? It's like no object permanence but for a refusal to acknowledge that other people have souls.
>>42218200they're available for your use. you just have to know the right codes to unlock them. the only problem is dealing with their current user, who might not want to give them up so easily.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibz-gPkTMDM&ra=m
>>42218774>I'm superior to others they just because i have more knowledge and intrest in other topics Look billions people lived and died, they had thought just like u they expirienced life just like u. All humans are the same, same body same operating system, noting original or new,There is nothing new under the sun
>>42218815>I'm superior to others they just because i have more knowledge and intrest in other topicsThis but unironically. You're like unenlightened cattle to me. Go to your goycube and earn the goybux. Don't question anything.>All humans are the same, same body same operating system, noting original or new,I guess even a cow needs a philosophy to justify his standing in the world. That's all you're doing.
>>42218828haha, u justify your lack of success in life, with this delusion of being unique in an world of copies. You can cope and use words but this will not change anything.
>>42218849MOOOOO said the cow
>>42218860Love u<3
>>42218879I'll turn the holodeck off and you will disappear, you piece of shit hallucination.
>>42218897Intresting selection of words, but nothing original your can use as many as fancy words u like, but at the end of the day ur just like us, and there is nothing u can do about it
Allegory of the Cave (Republic, Book VII, ~514a–520a): Prisoners chained in a cave see only shadows (illusions) and think that’s reality. One escapes, sees the real world (truth = philosopher’s insight), and returns to free the others. The prisoners mock him as crazy/blinded, refuse to believe him, and—if they could—would kill him for trying to drag them into the light. The enlightened one is hated precisely because his superiority shatters their comfortable illusions.
>>42218744It's also important to stress that not all normies are NPCs. There are normies who have an interest in the arts, philosophy, science, et cetera, and can even be quite proficient in their field. Normies can do introspection and retrospection and even dabble in the occult. What differentiates normies from us is that normies are invested in the social order and will do whatever it takes to maintain said order. Often through shaming and bullying. Normies will adhere to ideologies within the overton window and will never adhere to an ideology that calls for the destruction of current society.
>>42218200They are real, but purposefully dumb real. Like animals are real, even if they aren't as smart as humans. Their purpose is to provide bodies to be able to keep society going with their work and labor. And of coarse to mate so they can keep the big wheel of society turning. The easiest way to identify an NPC is asking if they have/want kids, if they say yes they are an NPC, no exception.
>>42220571I want kids so I can do unethical experiments on them. Am I an NPC?
>>42220609Okay you got me maybe there is some exception's I guess.
>>42220628The question isn't so much do you want kids but WHY do you want kids. NPCs will usually say some shit like "i dunno, you're just supposed to" or "because kids are great" blah blah. They don't really have a reason they just were told by society that they have to have kids by a certain point in life and they just obey.
>>42218200I think the religion is like a software and it changes the operating system by taking their individuality away and turning them into golems. In this sense I think they are NPCs.
>>42220634Yeah that's kind of what I was going for. Almost any question where NPCs can't give a good answer on their reasoning is a sure sign. They just don't have that inward reasoning, even if the reason is simple they just don't have it. Asking about kids is a great one because they get real defensive over it.
>>42220634It's the same way for sex and chasing women. Clearly sex is designed as a pleasure trap for fools.>but ohhh oooogggaaa boooooga cave man brain go boom!
>>42218200Biden is either a robot or Jim Carrey.
