So by this logic is being an NPC directly related to IQ and such? If this is the case, then could it also be said by extension that groups of people with lower average IQs have a higher density of NPCs? Are more blacks NPC than Asians for example? Etc etc

its not about being left, but being uncriticaly dogmatic. left is jzst the current accepted dogma.

people who criticaly chose to folliw a dogma may be wrong, but not npc's.
an npc simply is given a dogma and wields it.


there are many high processing power npc's. npc's are just one dimensional and don't question things that are not explicitly ordered to be questioned.

thats how unscientific ivory towers in universities that try to prove for status, instead of disprove for knowledge, exist.

That's a good theory I'll add it to my list.

I agree you're either born one or not. My theory is there are not enough souls for the amount of humans/animals who would otherwise possess them. At any given second when someone is born, there is a soul from someone recently gone or not. I've met twins where I can tell one is an NPC and one isn't. It's why I thought of this at all.

Not entirely, just npcs can't think (literally they don't have thoughts) look up aphantasia. It's theorized anywhere between 30 and 75‰ -huge discrepancy I know- of people have no inner monologue. So what you're seeing 'could' be someone unable to formulate unique opinions, morals, etc, or just someone who hears something that resonates with them and can still willingly accept truth. But I do believe most NPCs are as you described.

Not at all. I would assume without any human thoughts, NPCs are on average higher IQ, solely because they are not distracted by any inner-anythings, because they can't be.

To add on a little bit. If any of you are familiar with the multiverse, or even string theory, or both IF true, the odds of of being inside a simulation ourselves is infinitely more possible. And the odds of many, or even all of us being NPCs is also infinitely more possible. Damn I wish we were advanced enough to fully understand the complexities of these things. But I doubt we ever will, we know so little. We can only assume things when they seemingly don't 'fit', such as NPCs.

Even if we live in a simulation it doesnt necessarily rule out the possibility that some of us are de facto playable characters. Consider the following:

The initial civilization who spawned the simulation we're in might have created it just like how we create videogames. Therefore the 'playable characters' and their reactions to the NPCs in the world is like a 2nd hand reaction via the aliens or whatever it is that is *playing as* them in the simulation 'game' 

So basically even if let's say you and me are simulated, we could still be interacting with the other NPCs on the 'map' within the 'game' via control by the aliens who play *as us* for fun. I guess technically this still makes us a puppet in the game, but if we're being controlled by intelligent beings at least then in a 2nd hand way via them, we are indeed not NPCs -- at least in a de facto sense for all intents and purposes.

Indeed. You may be interested in my hypothetical breakdown of a videogame type simulation here:
