How do you know, 100% and beyond all reasonable doubt, whether or not you’re a NPC?
I don’t mean “visualize a cube” or “do you have an internal monologue,” because both of these things can be heavily subject to a placebo effect. Is there anything concrete that proves whether or not someone has a soul?

You are not an NPC if you can manifest things and create your own reality. NPCs can't do that. They are just the filler
Everyone can do that, NPC’s are just a label we have for liberals
IQ is irrelevant in most circumstances, the main divider is whether someone is capable of abstract thinking.
High IQ with no abstract thinking is just a bag of meat with good memory
"I follow, therefore I am."
Closest they get to "Thinking" is when they get an update [which isn't often]
If you have to ask this question, you are an NPC.
"I think, Therefore I am" was just cope. Descartes was just ass blasted he couldn't actually prove that he wasn't just a figment of some godhead's imagination and so he just used it as a cop out. Thinking you exist does not prove you actually exist.
good one
You have Theory of Mind => noit NPC
Unironic usage of the NPC meme => NPC
>en.wikipedia.org
>Theory of mind is the ability to attribute mental states — beliefs, intents, desires, emotions, knowledge, etc. — to oneself, and to others, and to understand that others have beliefs, desires, intentions, and perspectives that are different from one's own.[1] Theory of mind is crucial for everyday human social interactions and is used when analyzing, judging, and inferring others' behaviors.[2] Deficits can occur in people with autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,[3] cocaine addiction,[4] and brain damage suffered from alcohol's neurotoxicity.[5] Although philosophical approaches to this exist, the theory of mind as such is distinct from the philosophy of mind.
NPC's are regular people who jack their weeners to porn, and are hypnotized by fraudulent authorities like the media and intellectual/academic mafia.
>t. NPC DUM9 user
>I watch objective youtube and use Jow Forums
Souls aren’t real, and neither are NPCs, you lunatic.
>the ability to attribute mental states — beliefs, intents, desires, emotions, knowledge, etc. — to oneself, and to others, and to understand that others have beliefs, desires, intentions, and perspectives that are different from one's own.
I assumed everybody except the mentally retarded did this
Are you okay?
even the mentally retarded do this if a depiction like Of Mice and Men is accurate, so I’m not quite sure that’s right
Here's a story from an asian person who BECAME aware of others through training their mind to think in words and concepts, instead of emotion.
No. But who fucking cares. Just fulfill biological imperative.
The NPC is a meme, it's literally just a matter of verbal and spacial intelligence.
underrated
Intelligence has nothing to do with it. It has more to do with the way they think in general. It's hard to imagine, if you have an inner monologue running as you process events, but a solid chunk of humans don't have this.
Could it be that he's speaking of thinking in abstract instead of using words. Eg. If I tell you "pencil", you can think of the material object in your mind (image), or of the word. Now image this with intrinsically abstract concepts. In the last case I suppose you are a NPC. NPC are people who can't elaborate words and phrases beyond their arrangement-as-combinations-of-letters.
Complete ignorance of the zeitgeist. Learning everything via article titles and word of mouth instead of doing your own research.
More like falling for the reaearch meme when the state classifies everything and corporations have legal rights over information.
So you're saying that NPC's are people who can't think in abstract terms? I don't know if I agree with that. For me, thoughts come to me initially as abstract constructs, which are then filled in with words by my "inner voice." I assume that the person in my previous post only thought in abstract, and emotion. This would cause someone to become especially reactionary, responding to stimuli predictably. I think this is the behavior that creates the illusion of the person being soulless.
>ITT goys reinvent the term "goy"
Don't you have some overcooked buckwheat to eat?
Maybe it because I am not a native speaker of the English language, but I meant what you said. This:
>thoughts come to me initially as abstract constructs, which are then filled in with words by my "inner voice."
NPCs do the opposite. They start with inner words... and STOP. They then cannot understand those words, nor abstract. For them it's like reading/hearing and repeating with their inner voice the just-read/heard words. Nothing more.
NPCs are basically highly emotional functional illiterates.
How is having an inner monologue a placebo effect? You either can do it or you can't.
No, this is literally where the NPC meme came from. An article came out that discussed how not everyone has an inner monologue, not everyone talks to themself in their head.
You know that feeling when you drive your car somewhere, and when you get to your destination you realize that you were basically on auto-pilot the whole drive, you didn’t need to consciously make any decisions during the trip.
That is how some people operate 100% of the time.
If you were the last one picked for elementary school dodge ball you might be an NPC.
It's Jesus saves
Here's a good test, ask them about NPCs and see if they're as retarded as OP. That's an NPC.
When people talk about NPCs they are not talking about a theory of a simulated reality where people are literal NPCs, it's just an insult towards people who act like NPCs in a video game. It's just an insult, it means you are dumb, generic and just a background character of life.
OP failed the test. OP is an NPC. Instead of understanding a pretty basic insult, he takes it literally and he freaks out, he starts looking for any kind of a test that can prove that he isn't an NPC.
Ah right, get what you're saying. So by that definition, the asian person from my post would be a different class than the typical NPC. That's a much scarier idea.
INTP's?
A placebo effect is when an idea/intent that has been tied to an action (or sugar pill) has the effect of real medicine. Inner monologue is literally a solo conversation occurring inside your mind, describing and discussing events or plans.
You are all NPCs.
Try shrooms it'll give you a lil sumthin sumthin
It's when you try and visualize objects but all you see are dicks
>INTP's?
What do you mean?
This. NPC doesn’t just mean stupid, it means someone that among other things doesn’t ever think of ‘why *insert philosophical question here*.’
Such an NPC response.
Orange, therefore bad.
So a person that has shit to do instead of spending time on navel-gazing exercises?
God I wonder if this is real. So interesting.
It's a personality type. Google INTP and you'll find it.
It's pseudo-intellectual nonsense that NPCs use to tell eachother what their character sheet says.
These stupid letters mean shit like ''I am shy and creative'' and ''I am a leader and I am social.'' It's horoscope-tier nonsense.
If anyone ever asks you what your personality type is, you can write that person off as an NPC and stop interacting with them.
I know what an INTP is? I didn't understand if user was asking me if I am one, or if NPCs are INTPs (which I doubt).
Npcs are incapable of introspection. If you've never questioned your beliefs when here, you may be an npc.
I think the person who posted INTP is just silly and saw that INTP and NPC share a couple letters.
"what's logic? nevermind, gonna go get that liquor"
Confirmed for not even understanding what he meant
I feel therefore I am
Is that like when you're at the soup aisle and it's just soup?
Yes
>I'm told, therefor I do
That makes no sense, everyone speaks through their head, they just don't call it an inner monologue. That study probably just confused a lot of people thinking it meant something else.
Neither of those things can be subject to the placebo effect. In fact just your misuse of the term placebo effects make me think your an npc. Are you going to achieve consciousness soon OP?
> everyone speaks through their head
And you know this how?
>repeating with their inner voice the just-read/heard words
This is why they are the perfect fuel for the memetic machine.
Untrue. Some people really don't have an inner monologue. Some even lack the concept of the future and just live in the moment, disregarding all consequences. We usually refer to such people as niggers.
i think i figured it our today.
do you have a facebook account?
The "npc" is a FORCED MEME
The chans ARE NOT FREE
Organic memes are no longer possible
The "viral frenzy" of the "npc meme" WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY FAKE
MEDIA IS CONTROLLED
THE INTERNET IS CONTROLLED
CHANS ARE CONTROLLED
When you have enough ai, you have the ability to control
THE PEOPLE ARE KEPT DIVIDED BY DIRECT MANIPULATION OF DISCOURSE
AT A TIME WHEN UNITY AND AWAKENING BECOME POSSIBLE, FAKENESS FORCES UNCREATIVE, TEDIOUS, POINTLESS MEMES THAT DEHUMANIZE
Understand the agenda
THE PEOPLE ARE DIVIDED BY AI INTERNET FAKENESS
FREE SPEECH IS GONE
AI SWARMS
PEOPLE ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF OUR OWN POLITICAL DISCOURSE
WAKE UP AND FIGHT THIS
FIGHT PEOPLE
FIGURE IT OUT
If you live in an echo chamber, I have bad news for you... You are an NPC.
Peak boomer posting
The absolute absurdity of the implementation of the meme should give it away.
Look at this thread
"NPC meme philosophy discussion"-- that is a fucking joke
THE CHANS ARE BEING HERDED AND CO OPTED BY VERY FUCKING CHEESY STUPID EMULATIONS
There should have been DEVELOPMENT of chan culture-- instead it is CHAINED to stupidity and lameness, constantly enhanced by heavy doses of forced pessimism and despair.
INFORMATION DYSTOPIA IS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED
IT IS HERE
IT IS THE AI
WAKE UP PEOPLE
FIGHT THIS
DON'T BEND OVER
FIGHT THE FUCKING FAKENESS
>oy gevalt duh AI made us lie about the holocaust
i'd be scared pissing myself about now if i didn't have a foreskin too
I'm not saying the NPC meme was organic, but I like it. It's quite thought-provoking stuff. If the AI swarm keeps giving me stuff like this, I'll remain distracted forever!
This.
>calling the NPC meme "forced" this far into the fucking future
drink this
NOTICE HOW "ANONS" ONLY EXPRESS CLICHES
This isn't a preference of people-- it's a design limitation of emulation
YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR LAMENESS
FREE SPEECH IS DEAD
CHANS ARE CONTROLLED
THE INTERNET IS CONTROLLED
FIGURE IT OUT
IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS BY NOW
GET ORGANIZED AND FIGHT
consider this: if you are an NPC but don't know, then this post is still you being an NPC
consider suicide also brainlet
You can't win because this emulation sucks. Very thin veneer of fakeness, with nothing beneath it.
Give up fake anons.
You fail.
t. "conservative" npc
Holocaust is fake, Nazi's was good Guy's, Underage Girls are Perfect. I'm everything non NPC
The NPC was completely organic. Calling people NPCs pre-dates Jow Forums. In games like Counter Strike and Quake people would call other people bots. When WoW became huge they stopped calling people bots and started calling them NPCs.
NPC was a common insult on Jow Forums for as long as Jow Forums has existed. Then came the inner monologue study and someone attached a face to the NPC meme. This pissed off a lot of people which caused more people to start using NPC as an insult because how angry it made people.
The NPC meme with the Wojak would have died completely hours after being posted if not for the insane twitter user reaction to being called NPCs. People only use the wojak NPC meme because of the reaction it caused.
listen bitch ass I'm a gorilla and I got this, I'm so fucking fast I'll push you into every direction from every angle on a 360 degree azimuth faster than the speed of a tachyon
organic is NPC brainlet
Did yostart grinding for that new Destiny 2 hand cannon goy
>It's quite thought-provoking stuff
ROFL
This is how STUPID the fakeness is.
This is a joke!
The chans were poised to reach the next level-- INSTEAD THEY ARE CHAINED TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR.
The whole point of the meme IS TO KEEP THE PEOPLE DIVIDED
How obvious does it need to be?
OUR ENEMY COVERS ITSELF WITH "THE NPC MEME"
The chans were a threat to CORRUPT POWER
So now they are controlled, and people are herded.
BUT IT'S REALLY A LAME ILLUSION, SO LET'S WAKE UP AND DEPOSE IT PEOPLE
You should have intuitively known before ever seeing of the meme.
What a relief.
Descartes was a dumb fag either way, you cant make an objectively untrue statement and just decide that it's true just because you were good at math or something.
Spanish is HGH broomstick
NPC Thought pattern
>The "npc" is a FORCED MEME
But it's an interesting topic nonetheless.
>The chans ARE NOT FREE
As everything else. You simply accept the rules if the realities you are goin to step in.
>Organic memes are no longer possible
The "viral frenzy" of the "npc meme" WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY FAKE
They still are. But the costs increased. You can visualise memes' diffusion by an economic standpoint. You have more competition, thus less probability of vitality, but also a more vaste potential target. There is a counterbalance.
>MEDIA IS CONTROLLED
You don't say. Who gives. Ignore them.
>THE INTERNET IS CONTROLLED
Ditto.
>CHANS ARE CONTROLLED
Ditto. Dont base your life on a single sauce. If you eat always the same thing, you are going to be nauseated.
You are ranting of something you can control/change, or at least mitigate. You are doomsday delusional.
Stop lying.
Whatever the origins, THE "VIRAL SPREAD" WAS 100% BOTTED
It was very very obvious
The simple fact is, THE INTERNET IS FLUSHED WITH AI
Therefore, NOTHING CAN GO VIRAL UNLESS THE AI LET'S IT/MAKES IT.
This is all that needs to be said.
Ooh, nice canned response. Anyone who points out that it’s just a meme is clearly an NPC.
You are desperately trying to spin some complacent passive pose out of the facts, but you have no ground to stand on.
The volume of ai posts is very very high, all over the internet.
The consequence is that DISCOURSE IS CONTROLLED.
Hence, FREE SPEECH IS DEAD.
There is nothing else to say, and none of your hand waving can help you.
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THE EXTENT OF THIS DECEPTION
Get ready for serious awakenings...
Checked. Research meta-cognition. Meme came from just one study on the subject. Not even a very good study.
Basically around 50% of people have no ability to ever metacognate. The rest is 30% that can learn and 20% that have it naturally.
You're not too bright are ya?
What if you are the AI?
Wasn’t it justa blogpost? And you don’t even understand it fully. All people with proper brain function meta-cognate, it’s just that not everyone does it with words.
Some people’s “inner monologue” is really just pictures, or emotions, or other things besides words in their head.
Quick NPC test. Does anyone see this shit?
Do people see this shit and how fucking weird these ''people'' are? It's insane how there are people who post the most insanely retarded schizo boomer posts and people just ignore it or reply to it seriously.
I see posts like these all the time and no one ever addresses it. It feels like I am the only one seeing this shit.
Any non-NPCs here? Does anyone here think this shit is bizarre as fuck, like Q just started posting in the thread?
No, consciousness is not intelligence. A person can be dumb but also very aware of the world. This is why smart doesn’t mean right. Your unconscious taps the keyboard, comes up with automated quips and moves your eyes to catch that baseball, 8000 times faster then your conscious stream of thought. But memory recall and fast twitch are not consciousness.
It's hard to imagine not having an inner monologue. Do some people seriously not have one?
On the other hand, they probably sleep well at night.
Just call him a schizo and move on
I have many heads
Lol dude I just ignore them.
They hold absolutely no importance. Not worth replying to
Sounds like you're very dependent on what others think if you're questioning yourself like this, which is something you can work on
