Are there any reliable tests that one can do to find out whether an assumed person is an NPC or not? It is particularly difficult with some of the humans. I have a best friend that exhibits individuality but also some thoughts and interests that can be attributed to NPCs so I feel concerned. He understands humour but he seems to be musically stunted, instead focusing only on lyrical content, for example. It's possible to have conversations about things with him, so that's a good sign, but he genuinely cares about shit like politics and future generations, so that's weird to me.I also think that my parents and 3 out of 4 of my grandparents are NPCs. Because of this I've cut all my family members/relatives out of my life and haven't spoken to them in years (I"m 28 soon, I haven't spoken to them since my early 20s), there is objectively 0 value for me to interact with them, I've never had a single valuable conversation or guidance from them, cause they are rather primitive, standardized creatures and I more or less had inclinations towards this idea since age of 13. It's not something that I am happy about, I just take it as it is what it is and maybe in the next iteration the circumstances will be more favourable.I am concerned also about the possibility of procreating with an NPC female in the future. How to know if a female is an NPC or not, when they exhibit a diminished humanity to begin with?
>>42316918Oh, you don't have to worry about procreation at all, my friend.
>>42316918>how to know if a female is an NPC or notoh boy are you in for a rude awakening
>>42316938I've predicted your comment while I was half way through typing my initial post. You are neither amusing nor a person, teenager.
>>42316938kekanyway hylics aren't really soulless they are just suppressed.you can calibrate the astral and material by being around them and educating them.also you shouldn't breed. its truly not necessary
>>42316948You are goycattle misinformant. This is evident by your thoughtless response to the first replier. The reason behind is that if you were reading the original post, then you could have easily made the same joke/statement as the first post did, but do so in your mind entirely and also laughed and react to it within your mind. But you didn't, so it stands that you are mind-less. I find it difficult to imagine or immerse myself into a state of being where one has no "internal monologue" and such things that are being narrated often in the recent years, but it is frequently difficult to not agree that such specimens exist simply by witnessing the lack of baseline human merit in internet communications. I am quite tired of the digital population of scripted deficient children like you and the first replier, because it results in so much spam.
>>42316918I think the best way to recognize them is how much independent thought they have in a group, like if they laugh in a group just for the sake of laughing or never try to disagree with anything but not because they don't but because they want to be accepted.Other way of realizing is if they are drawn to you, like they need to be around you for no reason, they want to be around people with spirit.I don't think music is a good indicator personally, specially modern music, nor art. Like if they like classical music or old paintings doesn't really prove anything. What is more important is the abstract and if they can understand the possibility of different realities, not necessarily in dimensions or planes but just a different world similar to this.Another test is how deep they can go in conspiracy theories, the best test is if they think NASA is completely truthful ( not going into aliens nor flat earth nor anything) but I've realized saying NASA is hiding stuff makes NPCs shortcut, is like saying oxygen doesn't exist.99% of women are NPC, most of your family is, there's no bloodline ties, at least not directly, is possible that you need someone with a spirit in your family tree to be born with a spirit but idk and I am just guessing but is 100% not tied directly, your 2 parents can be NPCs and most have 2 NPCs parents.I think my 2 parents are NPCs due to their behavior but I am not sure about my mother, as she was the definition of NPC but was also schizophrenic which usually means people with soul/spirit that got attacked into being crazy
>>42316982Kek, why are you so mad? You speak of hylics and then proceed to make contradictory statements about wanting to do hylic stuff yourself, so ofc people will react to that.But anyway keep posting, your spergout is at least somewhat amusing.
>>42317011Absorbing sunlight is also hylic stuff, in your retarded world view?
>>42316918Genuine (affective) empathy is the big one. Like when they see someone gets hurt and you see them genuinely feeling the pain for a brief moment. NPCs don't do this, they claim they have empathy but it is at most the cognitive (scheming) empathy type - a mimicry social behaviour learned after they realized laughing at a hurt person won't give them social advantage. Also, they took the vaxThe thing about music is quite interesting, It might be similar with people who only listen for "technique".
>>42316918We are all NPCs but you can become aware. This hylic shit is gay propaganda
>>42317019Textbook false equivalence.Why do you want to breed and why do you get so mad about the topic? Especially after saying that you don't care about future generations.Self-importantly huffing your own farts while contradicting yourself doesn't really make you sound smart.But keep going, it's almost entertaining.
>>42317007Great post. I wouldn’t label someone schizophrenic or whatever fake diagnosis these white coats give people. They are probably more wrong than they are right. Psychiatry has been a disaster and is probably nothing more than scapegoating.
>>42317026>Like when they see someone gets hurt and you see them genuinely feeling the pain for a brief moment.>NPCs don't do this, they claim they have empathy but it is at most the cognitive (scheming) empathy type - a mimicry social behaviour learned after they realized laughing at a hurt person won't give them social advantage.The behaviour of not displaying empathy can be a trait acquired from the local human culture and especially as a side effect of unnatural city living. When you are born and live in these artificial places, then you are already stunted in many ways that a naturally raised human wouldn't be. There are just too many factors at play here to the point where even the quality of your last night's sleep will impact your sense of empathy often. >>42317039Narrow minded trash, stick to creepypastas.
>>42317066Why do you keep avoiding the question, lil bro?
>you actually worry about what the people in power might do???>you don't appreciate music the same way as me?????>you aren't conscious!!!!!!!Please get some perspective. It's unironically hard. My work involves a very particular sort of solving visual puzzles, and sometimes I'm appalled how stupid other people are about this stuff, but then I remember other people aren't exercising these particular cognitive pathways for hours a week like me and I'd be equally lost in other types of work. But you take this to an extreme.NPC isn't even an actual paranormal thing but a metaphor. Notice that people have wildly different takes on what identifies one. And hylics can't reach spiritual gnosis, regardless of whether they appreciate the poetic or musical aspects of a song. If you don't click with someone you don't click with someone. It takes a different kind of person than you to extract their personal soul and uniqueness and that's fine. Don't go around imposing your metaphysical headcanon to feel superior.>when they exhibit a diminished humanity to begin withAm butthurt ;_; I have a very full inner life for one; I hope you will see me as human.
>>42316918>focusing only on lyrical content,is that not how it's always been? in my experience hylics only really care about the lyrics, about the 'story'...such as it is, or the special meaning in them, while regarding the instrumentals, even the best instrumentals in the world, as nothing more than window dressingI think schopenhauer wrote something about thatmusic is just a story telling medium or a social lubricant to hylics, they can't actually feel it or enjoy it for its own sakebtw breeding is pure hylic behavior
>>42316918the condition might be caused by a virus and therefore it would be detectable. but the virus might also be responsible for our whole civilizational structure, and it creates npcs because they are a vital part of the virus host's imposed society and reality.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibz-gPkTMDM
>>42317101What is up with you little basement antinatalists? Seems brainwashed as fuck to state these things. You wrote it in lowercase too, and your previous opinion-sharer resorted to the usage of flavour of the month type phrases. This hints towards a hivemind operation.There are many reasons to have a lot of children if you are living in nature or at least close to it; to not procreate you better be armed with good reasons not to, to perpetuate that procreation is behaviour of the soulless means that you are successfully brainwashed or trying to rationalize your own shortcomings. And I am not saying this in mean spirited way. I recognize the possibility that because I was born captive and in unfavourable setting and am approaching my thirties already without children, then it is possible that I will remain such forever, and for deficient retards I must point out that I recognize that "it is what it is", but unlike you I do not fail to understand that the most basic "living the dream" human success one could have easily (had they been born into conditions that are free from all brainwash-bullshit) is to be a father in your teen-ages, a grandfather in your twenties, grandfather in your thirties, etc. But you immediately project the horror stories of city living onto the idea of having children, you are deluded and sad.The proper conditions of having a lot of children is that it is something like energetic vampirism, without the aspect of robbing anyone anything.
>>42317066found the NPC.affective empathy can look much like a reflex.I agree that NPC behaviour and lack of inner world can come from oversocialization, but you have to be prone to override many things to allow this. those who know know
>>42317158
A list for you. These are signs, not a gospel, and these are more guidelines than hard and fast rules. As always, your milage may vary!>Affective empathy>The ability to tell individuals apart from the group/tribe people associate them with>Not being afraid to break laws, social mores, and social norms>Diagnosed with schizophrenia or a personality disorder>Is capable of understanding true drive behind actions they take, or at least admit they don't understand why they do things>Not autistic (no self state awareness, no true empathy)>Complicated emotions>Intuitive Perceiving type on MBTI>Figures out the motives of others quickly, bordering on paranoia>Fondness of the natural world>Dislikes hero worship of real peopleEvil mode PC traits>Socially manipulative adept>Mirroring to hide amongst NPCs>Perpetually feels alone, even with friends and lovers>Obsessed with power>Male>Cult of personality tendencies (this is a huge marker of a PC)I listed autism as a rule out, however, please note that autism itself is so heavily over diagnosed that most people diagnosed with it these days simply do not have it. They lack the language delays that are critical to the diagnosis. Most women diagnosed with it, for example, actually are showing signs of abuse and neglect from care takers as a child, or a form of PTSD, not autism.Also, please note that "NPCs" are still, in my experience, sort of PCs, but it's a collective-soul situation. Their player is playing a bizarre social RTS with a ton of pawns akin to something like Maxis' SIMant.

>>42317165you're dismissing a response based on an adopted local random social rule ("reddit spacing") > NPC behaviour
>>42317195You have contradicted yourself.>>42317209You are assuming things, because you have attributed your own messaging and intent to my textless attached image.
>>42317209I've been on here since 2005. The so called "reddit spacing" is a post /pol/ phenomenon for the most part. Before 2010, it was sort of normal to have formatting like that.It's a key sign of an election tourist or newfag.
>>42317151So you are just a self-important pro-lifer, possibly psychotic.Boring after all.It is what it is indeed.Hope you at least experienced living "in nature" that you glorify so much. Otherwise it's all just delusions of grandeur.
>>42316918god this entire mindset is, ironically, the most demiurge coded shit in the world. to answer your question, everyone has a soul. the gnostics who believed otherwise got BTFO’d by the neoplatonists an even if they were right, even if there are actual soulless husks walking amongst us, the fact that you cannot tell the difference, literally doctrinally means that you are one of them. you, in making this post, according to all gnostic sources that we know about, plants you firmly in the domain of hylic as you are literally a person who can’t tell a hylic from a pneumatic and are claiming to be a pneumatic purely to feel superior to other people, which is definitionally demiurge channeling. that is all ignoring the fact that this kind of gnostic thought is retarded as shit. the common points brought up to support it, like for example aphantasia or “a lack of internal monologue“ are also bullshit indicators of this. do you think that people with aphantasia just, do not think? that they just do not imagine? the author of the Witcher series has aphantasia. The creator of Firefox has aphantasia. Many people who have achieved things beyond anything you could even attempt have aphantasia. That doesn’t mean you don’t think, it means that they think differently than you. Your friend isn’t as culturally versed as you? Surely this means they don’t have a fucking soul and not that they just don’t spend all day consooming niche cultural stuff instead of getting a job.
>>42317225I don't think he even claimed to be gnostic. He just likes the term "hylic" for some reason, hence the entire misunderstanding.
>>42316918Voight-Kampff Test
>>42317223Very funny. (Not really)>>42317225So many assumptions. And lower-case. Thanks for spamming by.
>>42317240ah, so he’s just using the word to try and establish a superiority complex. bro is unironically funneling archons and doesn’t even know it. sad!
>>42317225I did read your post in it's entirety, so i will trade you exactly one assumption about yourself, for the many assumptions you made about me. I think you have been raped-molested, and the things that you type in the second part of your posts take root from those episodes of your life. Stop behaving like shallow trash that needs to leave their "valuable input" everywhere like a chihuahua feels the need to hump a slipper.
>>42317225Honesty, us Player Characters types are just atomized souls. Disconnected, disjointed, painful, seeking temporary connections we can never truly achieve. Is it because we were an organ of a collective that was cut off for one reason or another, or is it because our souls fundement and harmonics are so far off it simply does not resonate with others to form a consistent connection? Does it really matter? I personally prefer the second explanation. Both may be true, hence the original gnostic explanation of being able to uplift hylics: psyche damage.I included schizophrenia and axis 2 in the list of signs because, fundamentally, compared to the norm, we are utterly broken beings.
>>42317273>”Stop behaving like shallow trash that needs to leave their "valuable input" everywhere like a chihuahua feels the need to hump a slipper.”He said, in his thread about his concern that he, the ensouled player character, might accidentally impregnate one of those soulless husk foids running around. genuinely incapable of seeing irony. autistic at best, hylic at worst.
>>42317276Ah, yesYou Player Character typesYou are much like the Embryos in a woman's bellyBut in the basement of your mother's homeConnected to her by the Umbilical Cord of her salaryAn organ soon to be cut offBold of you to assume your individualityPerhaps you should read more of these decayed little popular video games you seem to be fond of
>>42317276idk what you’re talking about bro I have tons of friends and I have love in my heart for all of them and also get joy out of teaching them to create and better themselves.
>>42317288Why do you think I keep using fan art of this game in particular? Or was the metaphor not obvious enough for you?In the old days, before 2010, Player Character Encounter was code for an encounter with a schizophrenic or sociopath.Assume more, blind one.
>>42316918I think an excellent question to test them is how they feel about the idea of not needing to work. The idea of how they'd deal with the free time, not on how they get money to live or whatever, just the hypothetical what if you didn't need to work. So many idiot coworkers say shit like that they don't think they could cope if they didn't have to work. Like the idea of having 24/7 of free time (and implying they still have a normal wage amount of cash) is terrifying to them. They need this placed people are forced to as a means of generating socialization rather then just going out and finding it in their normal spare time. It also implies a lack of ambitions, passions and an overall desire to exist beyond wageslaving. It shows they live just for work and everything not work is just time passing to get to work. They can't make friends without the workplaces "you can't be mean to people" rules that make them thrive off the small talk.I think it also leads to the idea of stupid shit like "money doesn't buy happiness". If an NPC is given true freedom, they literally don't know what to do with it themselves.
>>42317151>you little basement antinatalistshouses up here don't have basements, the earth is too frozen >You wrote it in lowercase tooI used to be a grammar fag like you, but then I figured why should I waste keystrokes on punctuation for a post that some shithead doesn't care about and won't even properly respond to>unlike you I do not fail to understand that the most basic "living the dream" human success one could have easily...see, that's where you totally lose the plot...you start a thread complaining about them thar hylics only to say extremely hylic shit like get marryed an make babby is gud...and based on what? oh, based on that's what all the other humans believeand anyone that doesn't believe it too is stupid, sad and deludedhave you looked in a mirror lately?

>>42316918>Are there any reliable tests that one can do to find out whether an assumed person is an NPC or not? It is particularly difficult with some of the humans.A really good way to tell if someone is a hylic is if they have a superiority complex and cannot tell if someone is a hylic.

>>42316918Simple, just administer the apple test. If they're anything less than a 2, they're an NPC. Another solid indicator is whether or not they conduct inner speech. If they don't, they're an NPC.
>>42317407Cont. the discovery that people don't have inner speech and can't see images in their heads makes for a rather elegant solution to the idea of reincarnation. Human souls supposedly just cycle from one body to the next, but the human population has surged by the billions. Unless new souls are magically popping out of the aether, there's no way to fill all those bodies. And there's the answer, the bodies are quite literally empty husks. They operate on pure animal instinct because while they may have brains, they do not have souls. They're capable of "learning" in the same way that a parrot is. They can do just enough to navigate the world and get by, but they'll never reach anything higher.
>>42317407>If they're anything less than a 2, they're an NPCNot this shit again. If you recall how aphantasia was discovered, one of the key findings was that thoughtful men like scientists had the most trouble visualizing, in contrast to the dumbass NPC types who could practically hallucinate stuff at will.You seem to think visualization is an ability empowered by a soul, but it's not and its relation to ensouledness is usually the reverse. Why are the really smart people almost always the ones who can't visualize? It's like aphantasia is a curse by the demiurge on the ensouled because he knows the extra occult power it would give us.
>>42317407>>42317435You're really not as smart as you think you are. NPC theory is the ultimate midwit bait>smart enough to realize most people are dumb af>dumb enough to assume that must mean they have no soulIt's just plain old chauvinism.

>>42316918NPC's constantly seek manmade belief systems that suit their desires. Real people seek truth and are willing to commit to it even if it stands against their expectations.
>>42316918What’s npc like about your friend being more lyrically focused? Thats just preference
>>42316918Anon you sound Neurodivergent. You are using the wrong word IMO. NPC implies a lack of sentience not simply being a sheep. Your friend is a normie but not an NPC. Liking music for the lyrics is normie not NPC. It is an interesting observation though as I have been mocked for my taste in music because of that.>>42317170I disagree with autism and lack of affactive empathy for what should be obvious reasons but also I don't think women are more likely to be PCs which would be the case if that was true.
>>42316918If they care about the WH ballroom that trump wants to build. Whether they are for it or against it. It’s only 400 million which equates to about 1 dollar in tax per citizen. It’s a big nothing burger. But NPCs are usually terrible at math and putting things in perspective.
