The Anthropology of Real Life NPCs 

As someone who is 1/20th or so Irish, it’s no surprise to me that you’re proud of that fact but for the love of all that is peaceful and holy DO NOT resurrect that near me please!

@@JayVal90 we’re everywhere so no promises

Because all the fucking ulster-scots players kept whinging that the Irish players were farming NPCs. I mean come on the ulster-scots were doing the same!!! the admins are corrupt

I’m fuckin deadd😂😂😂

And then you guys revolted against the moderators and made it back into a PVP zone

You can't expect more from midwits.

NPCs are so materialistic that they are oblivious to the fact diverse consciousness and thought is what make humans unique.

Being an NPC is just coping with certain death and nihilism

@@tuckerbugeaterSo stop being a Nihilist then.

But they all end up being the same lol. All the kids got the same shitty Logan Paul haircut and tight nut jeans.

And now we know the error of their ways, there’s still time, let’s make the better decision.

The 60s hippie to 80s yuppie pipeline.

They still had a lot more going for them back then. It was easier to get a job, get educated, buy a house, meet new people, the list goes on. You have to put in about 10 times the effort to accomplish any of those things these days. They lived in a society held up by a bunch of WWII veterans. We live in a society held up by boomers.

It's still hip to be square.

Strong men make easy times, easy times make weak men.

I have prepared thousands of meals in my lifetime, yet im not a cook

Wait for their move first.

Some of the stuff this dude says, he is very dismissive, as if there is a black-hole of meaning that he refuses to acknowledge or think about... For instance "I haven't seen any evidence that the election was stolen" Kind of stupid to say that you haven't seen any evidence of election tampering. You may not have seen any "proof", sure. But there is evidence all around you, you have to be an NPC to discount it out of hand. How many "historic firsts" were involved in the 2020 election? From the number of people to vote, to the fact that the person they were voting for was/is visibly and obviously brain-damaged. To the covid crisis causing people to use mail-in ballots en masse, employing a literal ballot stuffing strategy, which is seen on camera many times over. To the fact that google literally stole the election, on its own, in a 100% objectively undeniable way via algorithmic manipulations. Just because that wasn't technically "illegal", or associated directly with a political party, you "don't see it as evidence"? So it is irrelevant? Why do you think it is that the entire process is so opaque? The idea that we have free and fair elections is an NPC delusion. Why would the bureaucracy leave itself open to evisceration at any moment? When we know, that if it had the power to prevent that from happening, it would, at all costs?

The definition for gamer is often pushed to be looser than other hobbies due to the disdain gamers have from the media. They want to make actual gamers irrelevant. Non gamers who dont understand gaming culture assume gamers want the definition to be more strict and narrow out of snobbery or elitism, but its really due to just a shared culture and underatanding of many things. Nobody thinks someone is an athlete because they played 100s of games of football, basketball, and tennis durinf highschool. Nobody calls everyone who watched a couple hundred movies in their life a film enthusiest. Nobody calls someone who prefers cooking themself dinner instead of eating out a chef. Think about that when you think gamers may not neccesarily think someone who played a handful of games a gamer. They arent being intolerant, the people who accuse them of being so ARE. A gamer is someone who knows what hitboxes, s, rotations, quickscoping, input lag, etc is. They know what it means to have no romance in their youth because they preferred games over dates. They think about how to change their strategy or their builds WHILE they are at work or school. They can probably tell what game someone is talking about in public even if they never mentioned a character name, game name, or whatever, even if they never even played the game themselves. To clarify Im not saying you arent a gamer if you didnt play at least x games for y hours. But if you dont think you are a gamer, then you arent. As for the people who say they are a gamer that arent. Generally its the people who care more about social media clout that dunks on gamers and thinks gamers suck. They arent gamers either because an actual gamer knows how ostracizes they are, how ACTUALLY inclusive they are, and wouldnt want to be yet another of the millions that dogpile on them.

Open your own practice. I'm a software engineer with about 20 years experience, and over time I've learned that working for big companies pays well but it tends to be boring and tedious and will treat you as disposable, and they are even worse to deal with as a customer, as they produce bureaucratic buggy crap. The most enjoyable software projects I've ever worked on was building stuff from relative scratch as a small team. The best products seem to be from such as well, and I can tell you with very few exceptions that the AAA high profile games are usually trash, and the real gyms are made by small highly dedicated teams. Given how my big hospital doctor lied to my face and was rude and pushy during covid, and many other factors, I'd rather have a doctor or two in a small business practice that I can know, and who I know will have more autonomy in their lives. As far as I can tell, small businesses and proprietors seem to be what I want to deal with now in almost all aspects of life. Big organizations are to Kafkaesque and untrustworthy. And try getting somebody from one on the phone, navigating mazes of menu's to prevent you from talking to an actual person.

Damn fuck the system. I'd hate to live in America, Australia is nicer

I've read that peasants had more "time off" than time working in the fields over the year.

Mate at least schools were originally made to teach people how to be productive and useful. If no one did normal jobs even 50 years ago we’d be beyond fucked.

​@@Star.Chasernot to be rude by any means,but in a more detailed look into the roots of the education system, school in the traditional way we know it as was created for there to be more lower class workers prior to the industrial revolution to keep the economy going,in simplified terms. if we go back further in time,the original system is from ancient rome,where the point was to create individuals who were physically strong and capable so they could partake in the army,but also develop an eloquent speech and ability to debate so they could be participating members of their democratic society. of course,neither versions are perfect,but the current one inherently places one's worth on whether their abilities are profitable in a capitalistic world,which is inherently wrong because humans all have different sets of capabilities,some of which are not "profitable",especially creative fields, and philosophically every individual has inherent worth to them. tl,dr; school does not exist to create 'useful' citizens,just profitable ones.

​@@leoal9294 If we made schools into unprofitable ones, we'd likely see a scenario similar to A Clockwork Orange.

@@caringheart34 so? it was still just fact. the point of my comment was saying that school doesn't create 'useful' citizens,it creates profitable ones. but I'm assuming you forgot to take a look at how i made no implication that schools have to be 'unprofitable' and mostly missed the point of my reply. my comment was made in an entirely neutral tone,stating only historical facts that have proven true so far in order to correct the former statement between profit and usefulness.

I prefer the way I used the term since 2006. Long before it meant what it does now. I didn't always use it as an insult. It was just a way to refer to a person in the background who you have minimal to no interaction with, isn't well known by you or society as a whole, or does anything particularly memorable in that moment. It was also relative. All but the most famous (or infamous) of us were NPCs to someone else. Like being part of the audience at a movie theater. When it was used as an insult, it really had nothing to do with being incompetent. Just relatively ordinary. For example, Navy Seals compared to the common, random Military Police seen on a base.

It's very simple: most people don't like to think. It's part of why society at large hates talking about politics; it challenges them to think about the world. These people like to go through life riding the wave and getting soothed by material comforts and following the first thing that pops into their head which is usually purposefully put their by society or companies. To actually think about things is uncomfortable and takes effort. Most people are, in fact, NPCs.

But doesn’t really we had a fake pandemic that shut everyone down took kids out of school and destroyed businesses. Can such people that were affected by such things really think they’re in control?

@@liarwithaguni couldnt have said it better. Ive noticed that it seems almost no one can think for themselves these day.

It’s like the rapper chick Suki told an interviewer: “I don’t do magic or whatever it is you said I do. I do music.” “I don’t think. I know. I don’t need to think, because I know.” “I’m not a magician, I do music.”

@@EURIPODES color sight? You mean they have color blindness?

That sounds like the theory of the bicameral mind and one of its main points was that religion and god(s) were providing the equivalent of the "inner dialogue" and as science took over more parts of society more people started developing more of their own individual inner dialogue, allowing more individuals to imagine what they would do if they hit a deer on the way to work, rather than imagining that god would be speaking to them and telling them what to do.

I remember a quote that a greek philosopher said ( i think it was plato) that said a slave is something like a body with no agency. They arent animals but they arent people either

Correct, that is the source of the meme. There are also people who can not 'see' in their imagination either, if they try to picture something or think back to a memory they just don't get anything. They may remember what happened or be able to understand what the thing they're trying to picture should be like, but not see it in their mind But that was the start of the 'npc' meme, which then started getting applied to people who only got their opinions from the news. And then it expanded a bit more

Well stated on both topics. We know that Ukraine had killed 14,000 people (says the UN) in the Donbass regions between 2014 and 2021, and the same logic that the US used to bomb Serbia in 1999 was used by Putin to launch the SMO in Feb 2022. Not our problem. And the flaws of the jab clinical trial are so egregious that it turns the stomach of a medical professional like me. Glad to hear you avoided it.

This is a theory in Buddhism and the esoteric tradition

​@WhatifAltHist it's correct isn't

Simulation theory is the most probable answer imo, look up the double-slit experiment.

Some people think it's a young soul versus old soul thing. Like if you're an older soul you might be more of a composite of prior experiences and you'll have several "yous" running the game simultaneously or overlapping incarnated at the same time. Then next time around you're more of a composite. Some people have more "light" than others and I think the younger folks need to interact with the older to learn how to generate their own "light" (you can't live off borrowed light saying for example) but some people in service to self status learn to vampirize that life energy etc because they're choosing to be evil and so are cut off from the light and need to steal it until they make good choices again. So they need to steal it, not borrow it. Like draining people or "energy vampires." Could all be wrong but it's interesting. TL:DR some people are playing several characters at the same time depending on their soul age and then those lives combine in their next life I guess

​​@@scholaroftheworldalternatehistMaybe, but their reponses to the complexities of their lives are often different. I'm actually jelaous of NPCs in that aspect, since they seem to be better adapted to the weird world we live in.

I wouldn't want to give that up and work 100+ hours per week for a decade to make a shot at earning millions per week.

I work support and these things are literally called "scripts" and you can be punished if you go too much off a script.

He did a really good job, and I would say about 90% of what he said resonates with me, and I can see the evidence of what he’s saying, and they are very astute and salient points. However, the one exception is “there are biological differences in the races.” I’m just confused as to what he means. If he wants to assert that different races are predisposed mentally then no I don’t agree. But if he is simply talking about physical attributes like different races’ physical appearance and build then yes, that is proven and makes sense. If that’s the case I 100% agree with everything he said.

In a way, you might be able to equate it to one of those Battle Royale a everyone is playing these days. Everyone's the main character and there can only be one winner, or truth, at the end of the day. Someone else's truth throws you out of the game.

Somehow, that scares me even further. Like total indifference, if your actions dont mean anything to anyone, does that mean you were not even there? Its like that saying: "if people rememebered you even existed 2 yrs after you died, consider your life a victory" but thats still pretty horrible and the lowest common denominator...😢

I really don't know what would make someone define breaking your back in the fields as meaningful work. Interested in finding out though.

@@wurzel9671 because, as a peasant, if you don’t work and others don’t then everyone starves. If you stop doing your job then your company might see a %0.09 decrease in productivity. Tangible results for you and your family, over intangible results for a soulless corporation.

It was a hard life, but not backbreaking. You had a position in the world and worked to fill it. It was not all bad. But very different from what we know.

You literally just described life in Brazil

The reason farming is so much more meaningful than wage labour is severalfold. 1) Your work was more diverse. Sure, you had a set of stupid chores you'd have to do every day, feed all the animals, let the chickens out, muck out the pigs etc. But you would also have a lot of other things to do that would give a lot more variety to your life. Fix the fence, re-thatch the roof, brand all your animals so that everyone knows whose animals they are and no ones gonna steal them, make a new fence, Hmmm, I think the pigs should be over here instead of here..., today I'll head to market to get a new yoke for my oxen etc. 2) Independence/self employedness. Ok fair enough not all farmers were smallholders, but as Rudyard has pointed out, even doing sharecropping for a feudal lord, you're still producing your own food. The work that your doing is for your own sake so you can see how meaningful it is. Wage labour has you doing work, the fruits of which you will never see, and you're compensated for that with... numbers... granted you can buy shit with those numbers, and more than you could with farmer's food, but it still feels less natural. 3) Relationships and family. If you're an animal farmer, your animals are like your family, who doesn't like being around animals? As humans we like it so much that as soon as we got away from the stage of working with barn cats on the regular, we started making cat videos. Being around farm animals is like having a whole family, and you can see this if you watch farming youtube channels (which I do) like Gold shaw farm. Even leaving aside the more interpersonal nature of the pre-modern world, farming gives you a big old family to protect, to feed and watch over, what could possibly be more meaningful than that?

Do you think a revival of traditionalism is possible? Lots of right-wing thinkers have begun to tilt in that direction, but most of the leaders are stuck in the modernist mentality of “just make material conditions better”.

Faith, family and localism with as much self-reliance as possible is the way forward.

I tell this to everyone who tells me democrats are the problem or republicans are the problem. That's all an illusion, there aren't two parties. It's all smoke and mirrors. Theatrics. They don't count votes, it's an illusion of power. Nothing more. If voting was real it wouldn't be legal. I think they probably used to, but then Kennedy was too much of an unexpected thing (televised debating was brand new, government didn't expect him to do so well). They fixed that and stopped counting votes. 2000 election the supreme court just decided the winner and told FL to stop counting. Had FL finished counting Gore (say what you will, my point isn't that he was a better option) would have been president. This stuff is like an onion with infinite layers because reality itself is.

School is a machine to train kids for work 8am-3pm 3-45

Yeah well being a teenager and adolescence is a new thing, for most of society you became an adult at puberty. So you don't really need to learn life lessons if you wanna be like the society that built America. For all we know, giving kids time to be teenagers and the idea of learning lessons before becoming an adult, is part of the downfall of society.

It's Not WHAT You Know, But WHO You Know That Matters....

@@nicoledoubleyou I actually had this topic with my Ethics and Religious Cultures teacher, the whole adolescence is a new concept to help the older people keep their jobs after they came back from wars. It’s interesting because I think it questions the basis of whether age really determines how mature someone is. Which I think it doesn’t because some people simply never reach psychological maturity, but it’s an interesting topic and could change the way we shape our society. But honestly I think with how society is right now learning life lessons before reaching “adulthood” is important, like social interactions and ideas, learning to admit to small mistakes young instead of struggling to admit big mistakes later and all that. I think the earlier the better.

Don't worry people that are like the "main characters" are the ones pushing the destruction of the world. NPCs are just people that exist and live their life. They don't need to be special in order to gain worthless attention from others

😂 I'm sorry I understand this 🙏 eventually you will leave the game all together. It's a wild drive. Get it hehe😅

Always felt like a main character, but a very low level one. I actually envy NPCs. Unfortunately, I only want to be one in a game I design. And that isn't going to happen without hired muscle who doesn'task questions, a legal team to put Disney's to shame and an obscene amount of grant money.

It's a reciprocal relationship like everything else. You get out of it, what you put it. Consume trash food or cultivate a culture where "I can sleep when I'm dead" you'll reap the consequences. Same goes for the soul.

Well in context of starfield to the guy it is just someplace to worship. It is written to be impersonal and the guy is not religious. Did you go into the church and see what the characters there had to say?

I used to feel the same way too, I would become bored, do nothing for about 10 minutes and I could not handle it. I felt like I had to be productive and do something that leaned towards making money, or something of that sort. It was weird, I'm reading "The Burnout Society" by Byung-Chul Han and it describes this well. I recommend it.

@@LEKSANDER01 I feel burnt out on modernity itself. The neoliberal system we are caged within is fraudulent and it’s currency arbitrary and backed by nothing but a rapidly waning “confidence.” I don’t have high hopes that a book is gonna be able to ease a burnout stemming more from a morale crisis than over exertion, but maybe I’m wrong. I often am haha. I’ll add it to the list.

If I can speak in materialistic terms, that last sentence you wrote is MONEY!! You gave me a lot to chew on, thank you.

I feel similar, except it's also fueled with some anger that I was harassed by certain groups out of the potential via gaslighting/mobbing/stalking.

Of course the Tolkien pfp pulls out one of Lewis’ greatest insights. To be honest, I’ve read Abolition of Man and still don’t quite grasp it. Any recommendations for how to understand his full picture in the first essay? I understood every paragraph I think, but the big picture I mean.

​@@jakinboaz8558Nietche had more on this I would recommend Uberboyo

Religion may be good coping mechanism for hardship in real world. At least historically it was very effective.

now the central banks around the world are pushing research hard into Central Bank Digital Currencies. Aka Bank/gov controlled bitcoin. That way there will be no possibility for cash transactions, at least not legal ones that they can then use the cash for something else afterward. Add on the idea of digital ID and Digital Vaccine Passports. You have the metaphorical barcode tattoo they scan every time you take a step or send a cent. Farm Cattle are treated more humanely.

A huge but ignored part of the problem is inflation. Most modern problems are made worse by, or come directly from, the fact that all countries have been debasing their currencies since at least WWII. Lack of earnings and savings means that the millennials are telling the truth about not being able to get ahead. The bipartisan Covid stimulus bill has quite literally doubled down on US debt; it remains to be seen whether we go the way of Zimbabwe or the Weimar Republic. “It can’t happen here” has never once stopped it from happening.

@@hopperstreams4487 You miss the point. It was to highlight how a society focused on enslaving itself would embrace hedonism at early ages, essentially programming the citizenry early on. You can see it nowadays - influence in the media and world around us idolizing sex and drugs, which influences the youth disproportionately.

The 50s weren't bad because "Woke," the 50s were just a crummy era to exist in. Also because they didn't allow women to do shit back then, and that's what matters. Female leaders and managers.

@@royale7620 Individual thought, action and presentation was actively stifled to a much more extreme degree than today. People relied on scripts more and were happy doing so.

@@fuzzborneThat's a history revisionist stereotype written by NPCs and their programmers. They hate the fifties because it was an era of morality that is anathema to the "revolution" in the sixties which was just perversion and delayed misery pretending to be openness and free thought. They were nothing but the proverbial "so open-minded that their brains fell out" generation. Their only defense is the pathetic false dichotomy of "so you want RACISM to come back, huh??" Meanwhile, they are racially segregating college dorms and promote an ideology that teaches that actually REAL systemic racism is needed to fight the phantom echoes of past systemic racism. 🙄

U mean the US did not share that attitude? Or?

@@DivestedChristian well if you watched the video there was a segment in the beginning explaining that Ireland was a land inhabited by people who did not accept centralized authority well at face value, hence the clan structure based around families, each with their own goals and methods of achieving said goals. Now, with that being said, my point was that with the Irish being so decentralized and anti authoritarian it makes them pretty much the opposite of the notion of NPC. Which caused them to be conquered by the Brits bc they couldn't agree long enough to unite but on the flip side this helped lead to the colonization of the western half of the United States because the western half of the United States until very recently in history was absolutely lawless and rugged. It took a special kind of human being with a very individualistic and independent mindset to, for example, take your entire family across the rocky mountains only to settle in a far away land that was pretty much uninhabited such as Oregon. The risks and skills needed to achieve said goal would have required a special kind of individual, one that Ireland produced millions of. They are one of many groups with those traits that make the United States of America special.
