Thread 509914066

How do you define an NPC? Are you an NPC or not, and how do you know this?

>>509914066 (OP)
I guess not having an inner monologue ranks high on the list of NPC-attributes

A lack of soul.

>>509914202
also this, a lot of people seem to be mere vessels with enough autonomy to get by for daily activities but not much more

>>509914199
What is an inner monologue?

>>509914552
good question I guess. I have some voice in my head that narrates things and that i can use alongside visualisation and imagination to form ideas and concepts and to explain things (my english sucks so i cant explain it better)

>>509914552
Think of it as a sentience while npcs are computers with no software. Just empty inside, can be programmed to whatever you wish, don't have their own being.

Someone who took the vaxx
No, there are no players among the vaxxies

>>509914705
sounds like schizphrenia

>>509914066 (OP)
Dumb and ignorant. Runs on instinct and feeling instead of analytical thought. This includes 95% of /pol/.

>>509914066 (OP)
My life and body are and we're far far more valuable than whatever potion concoction you niggers made this all possible with rending me as your faux property. Kill yourselves faggot

>>509914066 (OP)
If you can't tell me what your purpose in life is and what you truly desire, you're an NPC. It takes some heavy introspection to realize one's true desire, and a lack of introspection is precisely what defines the idea of an NPC.

We are all NPCs when viewed through the eyes of someone else.

>>509914066 (OP).

NPCs are metalawyers who generate their shit from metaplots. Meanwhile, non-NPCs are those Genuine Far Right National Socialist (non-groypers) under my control.

>>509914202
No such thing as a "soul". You're an NPC.

>>509915002
Schizo think that voice come from God while hallucinating from their eyes.

>>509914705
I think the inner monologue and visualization stuff is bullshit. An NPC is someone who has conditioned responses to stimuli. We all have that, so to point at others and say they have it and I don't is dumb. We're all NPCs in that sense. The difference between someone who thinks and someone who is just a robot is whether or not you have studied logic.

the lack of ability to think abstractly

>>509914066 (OP)
How I know I am not NPC
I have broken laws that are "common sense laws" for NPCs .

It's a non player character in a game.

It's not a real thing, just fat retards on the internet way to feel good about at least one thing in life
It's just sad polcels cope

>>509914066 (OP)
the degree to which you live by conclusions that you came to by yourself after any kind of deliberation, or having a filter of any kind between the being told and believing or doing it part.

critical thinking used to be a thing taught in schools
>what was said
>who said it
>why did they say it
there is any number of motives to lie or to mislead, or otherwise just browbeat and bully to settle the sale on whatever dogshit idea someone has
i am told that they don't teach this stuff anymore

>>509914552
It's when you read it in his fucking voice.

>>509914066 (OP)
Damn those games were such a good concept.
Shame they canceled them but I guess they couldn't keep innovating at the speed they needed.

This planet is a battleground between benevolent neurodivergents and archonic narcissists

>>509915288
You are so retard. Read yourself, check dictionnary and search the contradictions. If you can't, you are NPC or AI.
Stop making sentences with big words you don't understand.

>>509915002
How do you acctually think?
I am sure everyone has an inner monologue.
If I write that comment for example, I first think of the words and read them in my mind then I maybe rearange or change some. And then I type the post.

>>509915288
>We all have that, so to point at others and say they have it and I don't is dumb
it is not, just google it i cant post the links. however how much to being an NPC it contributes can be debatable.
>An NPC is someone who has conditioned responses to stimuli
that i agree with

>>509915645
Anyone denying normies/npcs is a npc

>>509915645
This is true.
However there are 2 types of people.
For instance, does one take responsibility for ones life and activly think about lifes choices or is one doing what is expected by the system?

Do you search for what you want?
Or do you take what is given?
Most importantly, moral basis.

>>509915639
Such as: we need this list to show NPCs they in fact are NPCs. Which will accomplish absolutely nothing. Except for our own enjoyment. Like the old lady at Target asking if you see the price of the food storage containers.

>>509914066 (OP)
They fit one or more of the following criteria
>advertising actually works on them
>they genuinely believe in the US two party system
>all their news comes from one source
>can't acutely identify the source of their perpetual unease and existential dread long enough to stop the self destructive coping mechanisms and consumerism slowly eroding their spirit

>>509914066 (OP)
A person who demonstrates that they don't have the ability to think critically or reason. As an example, I almost hit a lady in a parking lot one time because she just darted out between cars without looking. When I honked at her she didn't react whatsoever. That's peak NPC right there.

>>509915848
>just google it i cant post the links.
Are you joining us today by telephone, fren?

>>509915693
>>who said it
>>why did they say it
That type of "crititical thinking" is a meme. The real critical thinking involves logic.
>who said it
irrelevant, ad hominem
>why did they say it
irrelevant, motive goes under ad hominem

In the eyes of the WEF, we're all NPCs.

>>509915813
cool argument

>>509916297
no they tapped my line, will meet you in the astral plane

>>509915848
Are you denying that we all have conditioned responses to stimuli?

From ChatGPT

1. Script Adherence
Consistent repetition of mainstream opinions without variation.
Reliance on slogans, official talking points, or media catchphrases.
Minimal nuance or independent reasoning when challenged.
2. Response Inflexibility
Poor ability to adapt to novel ideas or contradictions.
High emotional reactivity when presented with uncomfortable facts.
Binary moral thinking (e.g. good vs evil, left vs right) without complexity.
3. Absence of Inner Conflict or Doubt
No expressed uncertainty or reevaluation over time.
Little to no evidence of intellectual friction or changed beliefs.
4. Behavioral Mimicry
Rapid adoption of social trends without reflection.
Groupthink alignment—opinions shift only when the group shifts.
5. Inability to Generate Original Insight
Surface-level opinions with no underlying logical structure.
Lack of unique connections or pattern recognition across domains.

>>509914066 (OP)
Everyone is an NPC but me. I'm the main character of this simulation and none of you have been very convincing "humans".
>how do I know
Because literally everyone else is fucking retarded.

>>509916409
OK fren I will meet you there after dinner time.

>>509914066 (OP)
belief in the spinning ball is a pretty solid indicator

>>509914066 (OP)
NPCs don't have consciousnesses. Like the NPCs in video games. Their POV isn't experienced.

>>509916455
no? but an npc will in all likelyhood not use is inner monologue and brain capacities to think about an alternative response or is even analysing the situation
>>509916550
gotcha mate

>>509915693
>giving a single fuck about who said what
Massive NPC. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. You're in that last category, mate.

>>509914066 (OP)
I dunno i know i m a bull and that is why i like cows with large udders.

>>509916693
what are those black "things"?

>>509915288
is the answer to >>509914552
not an answer to >>509914705

>>509915223
Gay. Stop posting this shit.

>>509914066 (OP)
You sit in front of the TV and watch the media tell you what is going on in the world and when someone changes the story you can see a demon take over (Agent Smith) enter their body and start fighting you over the version of events like they witnessed them personally.

>>509916028
>>all their news comes from one source
they believe their news feed is different sources. (it's labeled 'feed' for a reason, little piggy.)

(you) post is good also. Albeit generated by a (((them))) algorithm

>>509917293
Same thing happens to you. Dont lie.

>>509915780
how do autists beat psychopaths in this dynamic when the psychopath in this has all the institutional power, normies treat them like shit and their one special power is knowing what the psychopaths are doing

sounds like a losing hand

>>509916891
Earpods.

>>509916891
This is a disease in which faggots grow black plugs from their ears. This is a defense reaction of the body when they drink too much cum.

>>509918021
Everyone has them. Blacks? What? They annoy people with their phones or Bluetooth speakers.

>>509914066 (OP)
NPC’s are following scripts
If you are accepting most scripts social media and media feeds you without thinking about it, and then parroting it back, you are a npc. Like blaming democrats or republicans for what’s clearly a joint operation.

Talking about the weather also

Here are the questions:
Are you retarded or something?
Why are you so unfit? Why are you adding to your storage of unused calories?
Would you actually punch a Nazi?
How many of your babies have you sent to Heaven?
Can you beileve the amount of nigger babies that will be populating heaven? You keep pushing for abortions and heaven will be just like Africa.

you're ironically getting lost in the sauce somehow so i'll spell it out
>should i get the jew juice jab, y/n
>who wants me to do it? nebulous international organisations, WHO, the great reset crowd, the australian government
then from there
>how well can you access the credibility of these institutions and do they have incentive to mislead me for financial or social gains that may not even be known to me
the who matters plenty because from there you may guess at why they are saying what they are saying

i'll bet you roll your eyes at journalists, journalists are a "who"

>>509914066 (OP)
I'd say it's a person who holds a position without being able to provide a reason for it. Classic "orange man bad" NPC's are a perfect example.

Notice a stupid or inconsistent reason is not the same as no reason at all, so we ought to be careful not to mistake the NPC for something else.

>>509918282
Study logic.
One example, you read this in the paper. Meme "critical thinking" will tell you:
>Who is saying this? A gas station owner
>Why is he saying this? He probably wants to sell as much gas as possible, that's probably why.
Someone who has studied logic looks at the same thing, spots the logical fallacy in the gas station owner's statement, affirming the consequent, and then addresses that. You were brainwashed.

>>509919149
(G) here is his unqualified opinion on something and he is only being asked because it about petrol and he sells it

>>509914066 (OP)
If you can rotate the apple you are real

>>509919749
It's literally ad hominem (circumstantial).

Where were you taught this "critical thinking"? And did you learn any logic at all?

Take a look at this book about critical thinking. It has logic in it. There's a difference between meme critical thinking and real critical thinking.

And no, the answer is B, which is affirming the consequent.

Inner monologue isn't a part of consciousness, it's part of the ego. With meditation you can quiet the inner monologue and experience pure sense of being. People that let their inner monologue take over concede their consciousness to the ego.

>>509920303
i'll give all that a read too

>>509914066 (OP)
An NPC is someone who's opinions are 70% created by a mainstream media source, without parsing or filtering that information before accepting it as factual or moral

>>509914066 (OP)
Any character that isn't controlled by a player, think goomba in mario or lvl 2 man in runescape.

>>509915288
you only think you think, the large narrative will steer your thoughts towards this line of thinking

inner monologue and being able to summon a picture of things in ones head is an extra layer of protection against the behaviorally shaping bullshit

>>509914066 (OP)
I get called an NPC by my hostile coworkers, I’m not sure what it means.

>>509914066 (OP)
I don't know, but I'm happy
