"NPC" is a metaphor for "Neutral" or more precisely, politically Neutral.
This meme aims to further the current cultural divide and push the population of Jow Forums in general and pol in particular, to adopt more and more extreme ideas, in an effort to distance themselves from perceived NPC traits.
This aims to push people furher into the bullshit "teams" they identify with.
The former occured to me when I saw the NPC depicted as a grey coloured person (pic related)
>"NPC" is a metaphor for "Neutral" or more precisely, politically Neutral
source? as far as I'm aware, npc is used to describe people without an inner voice and is a-political
It's the same meme they use to radicalize cult members
Or maybe it encourages an inner dialogue so that people will start understand themselves and the world around them for how it really is as opposed to what they were told.
npc is a fucking milhouse-tier forced meme
this
inb4 some retard complaining about Jow Forums misunderstanding the study
Here's what the study really says:
▪ 17% of people have no inner speech, and confirmed it when being individually probed about their results
▪ 50% of people use their inner speech less than 20% of the time
▪ 80% of people use their inner speech less than 50% of the time
▪ The variance was high enough to assume that different people indeed use different ways of thinking
▪ Males are 40% more likely to use inner speech than females
▪ Inner speech is the only mode of thinking that's associated with lower psychological distress
▪ Both factors (male, lower psychological distress) have been associated with higher intelligence in other studies
▪ The cohorts were first world university students so the general world population might be worse off
▪ The sample size was 30 because the authors wanted to make sure the cohorts understood the methodology
▪ The results had a p < 0.05 so they are statistically significant
▪ The study has a citation index of 90 so it's been peer-reviewed
its funny how many people were fell for that clickbait title. it has to dea with pristine experiences, it never says that there are people who never have inner speech
And we have the first retard

>I gave random beepers to a stratified random sample of 30 students from a large urban university and interviewed them about the characteristics of their randomly selected pristine experiences.
>“Pristine inner experiences” are thoughts, feelings, sensations, tickles, seeings, hearings, and so on, anything that appears directly before the footlights of consciousness. Our research has shown that pristine experience is fascinating, but that its characteristics are relatively unknown both by the experiencer herself and psychological science.
yep. A fabricated duality of us vs them.
aware/unaware
aware/asleep
EXTREMIST/NPC
The NPC is normal people they want pol to distance itself from.
Just an opinion and discussion starter. Words can be used for new meanings you know.
> Words can be used for new meanings you know.
Absolutely communist, fuck off.
NPC always get emotional when they see repeating numbers.
Your claim:
>it never says that there are people who never have inner speech
What it really happened
>17% of people have no inner speech, and confirmed it when being individually probed about their results
The people who reported 0% inner speech were singled out and asked about it, it wasn't an statistical fluke.
You never read the study, otherwise you would know they were singled out, and wouldn't claim that it never says that there are people who never have inner speech.
t. NPC
it actually stands for non player character and is a video game term to describe ai
Make suggestions and I'll add them.
>"NPC" is a metaphor for "Neutral"
No it isn't.
>My previous blogs have observed that some people –women with bulimia nervosa, for example– have frequent multiple simultaneous experiences, but that multiple experience is not frequent in the general population.
>If not multiple experiences, what are the frequently occurring phenomena of pristine experience?
funny how you never mention pristine experience when that is what it is all about
>has a mark above their head to indicate the NPC's feelings
the 144k will awaken, the rest are npc's
Boy I'm glad I was in the OP for NPC's! It's taken off as a hot new may-may!
ha-ha I'm USING the INTERNET
>it never says that there are people who never have inner speech
You can find comments people spread around the time the study was released saying they only ever have inner speech while working on something specific like reading a book. The rest of the time their mind seems to be either a void of nothingness or flashes of images. Since it's the internet it's never to be 100% believed but it would explain a lot about how retarded the average person can be.
It doesn't matter what you want to focus on or find interesting. Fact remains 17% of people don't think. I wonder what their race is??
>NPC Post
But I was an extremist long before this meme came about?
You lied ("the study never said some people have no inner speech!"), got caught, and now you're changing the subject.
The original study mentions "pristine" exactly 0 times. So whatever he blogged about has little relevance to the results, not that I see anything damning about it.
I don't get it, I always thought NPC's talked to themselves whenever im doing quests for potions
>So what are the fourth and fifth most-frequently-occurring features of pristine experience?
it does matter what the whole article is actually about
nope.
NPC is a term for people we suspect dont have souls in the most literal sense.
Im quoting everything from his articles and blogs. the exact thing posted when everyone talks about NPC. no where does it say there are people with 0 inner speech
feeling, sensory awareness, unsymbolized thinking & image-seeing are the 5 categories
What's even your point? All 4 categories that aren't inner speech are associated with higher psychological distress & thus with lower IQ
No fucking shit dumb ass
hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu
Try reading the study, not a blog, genius
It means 17% percent of people are too dumb to understand what's being talked about.
Nice NPC spacing there.
>17% of people don't think.
It's easily 80%
The vast majority of "people" are born in some suburb, do their life sequence thingy for a number of decades, and then die having achieved nothing.
Those are all either NPC's or absolute losers.
>Yes, the meme glows-in-the-dark. It's kinda funny though, so I give it at least 2 weeks. Idea is old AF anyways. You think therefore "You Are" that is all you can prove to yourself. Every single other entity could be a mindless zombie (or computer controlled NPC) and there is no way to tell for sure. Never will be. So make your peace with the concept now frens.
>What's even your point?
that the whole article is about pristine experiences. ans how peoples pristine experiences are different, some lack inner speech during pristine experience
They were singled out and individually asked about their shocking results, and they re-confirmed it
Thanks for putting this stupid fucking meme peddling faggot in his place
>NPC threads
AKA not politics, kill yourself OP
What is "pristine experience" to you? Also, the study makes no mention of that term, so it's indeed irrelevant to the results.
When I get really nervous like at a party I lose my inner speech. I don't know what happens to it and it gets all jumbled up and awkward until I drop my spaghetti.
NPC refers to "empty-headed consumer whores who are more worried about watching the latest capeshit than thinking about the world, or universe at large"
>faggot literally who country misunderstands a study
IMAGINE MAH SHAWK
It refers to people who are incapable of applying the socratic method.
>no where does it say there are people with 0 inner speech
You're lying. It's literally in the Table 2 of the study.
You're falling for a lie.
That has absolutely nothing to do with NPC as slang, newfag.
Re-confirmed that they don't understand what's being talked about. They can't grasp the idea of watching themselves think from an outside perspective. They probably used their inner monologues to decide they don't have one.
No it doesnt you moron, it has nothing to do with debating
>t. single digit IQ subhuman
I am not misunderstanding it. And the guy whose dick you're sucking didn't even read it, as proven multiple times throughout the thread.
>posting in NPC threads
sage
>t. retard pretending to know what hes talking about
kys you kike theory peddling autist
t. NPC
People who use mainly inner speech as their mode of thinking showed statistically significant lower signs of psychological distress, the only mode to do so. Men used inner speech 40% more often than women. Both are factors associated with higher intelligence.
>lower signs of psychological distress
what does this mean
NPC is the new jewish divide and conquer tactics
proof?
>t. butthurt literally who country
take your bullshit back to
Do you even know what the socratic method is?
Like this?
Many NPC's are anti-corporate, anti-establishment, anti-government "rebels".
In fact they seem to be the older, even more predictable models completely incapable of any originality.
>Many NPC's are anti-corporate, anti-establishment, anti-government "rebels".
Who at the same time shop at Apple and Starbucks, support Socialism and wish for more government in interference with their lives. Makes you think.
There is no proof.
It's literally impossible for somebody who has no inner monologue to apply the socratic method unless they are directed to do so externally. I.e. NPC faggots are literally just ripe for brainwashing by TV, Vidya, and Liberal professors. Some faggot is feeding them talking points and that's just one of them.
That's the fucking goal. Literal fucking DEHUMANIZATION of a huge portion of the population.
That's the first step towards creating an enemy, to dehumanize it.
the blog is by the guy who did the study.
>Nonetheless, 5 of our participants, despite multiple probing interviews, claimed that inner speech never occurred in their samples; by contrast, 6 participants experienced this phenomenon in 50% or more of their samples.
in their samples
>All these npcs struggling
Whens patch day?
SCL-90-R GSI score
A test that's been shown to predict various mental diseases. Lower distress is also associated with higher intelligence.
i keked at the exclamation point
NPC theory can explain cognitive dissonance, since there's no real dissonance because there is no internal processing
>npc spacing
People who fit the "NPC" description are subhuman though. If you think bugmen are worth saving then you're out of your gourd.
soon
its probably rare for someone to have inner speech at all times. when i watch tv or movies it isnt constantly there
Good, keep reading.
I like this one. In fact its a little terrifying, wveryone just thinks my interest in history and psychology is some minor thing. Just a basic topic of conversation. As soon as I get onto topics like ancestral birthrights, honor, possible divine or evolutionary connotations of why or what a group of people may do, their eyes glaze over. I read platos writings of socrates, and someone was like "oh yeah I read that in school." No opinions on it, no real dialogue, just remembering they did that, and wished that they were like me "doing it for fun."
Its not just fun though, this is a fucking compulsion almost. I want to do this because how can I say I know anything if I dont start with the beginning? I dunno if I buy the NPC angle, but most people are so meaningless and empty, I would actually kill myself if I had to live like them.
Not necessarily.
Those are just the stupid ones.
The smart npcs evolve into psychopaths.
They may be well read and see the bigger picture, but they still have no consciousness.
Even in gif form, Trumps approval feels good man

Fucking kek. These are great
>pol
tfw cultists are right about the modern world
*tips fedora
yes, people experiencing inner speech at different rates doesnt mean aome dont experience it at all, which again was never stated. they only said in those samples they never experienced it
npc's is related to star seeds i think
gaia.com
I feel like we were probably already way ahead of the game on that one m8
Its just accepting the reality. Although its smart to be on a look out for what you said. This can be used to divide and conquer.
I have a friend who is the same way. I'm not even that intelligent and stick with basic concepts like fear and love to get conversations started but all he wants to do is watch sportball and get drunk. Sometimes I notice a spark of cognition but only when he has a few beers in him until he is too drunk to even think any more and passes out.
The authors rule out your explanation ("it's just a statistical fluke!"), and we know of people who claim to never do, and people who claim to never do it other than for writing/reading, so not sure what's even your point anymore
>rule out
no they don't you fucking dunce
show where in the study it says that there are people who never do. i havent come across it yet
Did you read the study you didn't know existed 5 minutes ago already?
