Ep. 66 - Are You an NPC?

If Life is a Simulation - How that Worldview Affects your Mindset. You've seen the Elon Musk tweet: "If you don't think there's at least a tiny chance that you are an NPC...you are an NPC." Everyone is talking about NPCs. Some people consider themselves as the hero in a video game or Simulation and everyone else is an NPC. Perpend is back and we talk about Simulation theory - that life is a simulation or we are in someone's else's simulation. And how that worldview and NPC thinking affect your mindset. We talk about NPC thinking and its root in Transhumanism and Gnosticism. Perpend: "I read somewhere that maybe the NPCs are really something to be admired because they are being very efficient with their life because they're not expending any energy, time, or dialogue on anything that doesn't matter to them. Even the NPC in the game is doing that. The NPC in the game is here to give you the key if you say the right password or you do the right thing. So it will not do anything outside that. So it's actually being the most efficient and therefore it is just preserving energy and being a good citizen."
