Look I'm gonna be honest here, OP: every human being is more or less an NPC. We are controlled by alotta things, so do what extent do we really have free agency? I assume that the only Being which is not an NPC would be, you know, that Endless Creature Which Created The Universe or whatever you want to call It, if It even exists we can't be sure, or I can't.

But yeah the Endless Creature That Created The Universe would be the PC, and we are Its little NPCs.

The pic does go over what an "NPC" is very well, though I think some of the parts about the "Individual" come off as arrogant in places.
There's this really good screen shot that was floating around the image boards a while back. It's from R*ddit of all places, but it describes someone who "woke up" in a sense. As in, he began to think critically and think about why he was thinking and what he was doing. Previously he had just lived his life like an animal; wholly through stimuli and base emotions day to day.
It was really sobering to read, because you realize that's how most people act and live.

Problem is that books (good books) are not written by NPCs. So you will usually not find indications about the fact that the world is so shitty. Books will make it seem nice. So if you want the confirmation that 95% of people are soulless robots you will have to meet and observe them. Just observe how they gobble down any kind of narrative proposed by the media, how they talk about things like "democracy" and "progress", how they listen to and look at you, try to figure out their thoughts and what they know, try to imagine their fears, their concerns, what will make them pleased with themselves, what values they contemplate or do not comtemplate within themselves, if they think about death, to what extent their reasoning unfolds, how they love and how much they love, under what circumstances they fall or might they fall, and how they react and will react and rise again. These are facts and they're observable.

Yes, anon. You're special. You're in the top 5% of humanity and you don't even have to do anything! Just you existing makes you superior to almost everyone else! Good job!
That's probably why you're posting on 4chan looking for confirmation instead of reading, thinking, or creating something. Sure, probably most authors, musicians, and even youtubers are NPCs that mindlessly react to stimuli, but besides their accomplishments, what do they have that you don't? That's right, nothing. Top 5% all the way, baby. You're truly a lion among sheep and a God amongst men.
And it has to be that way, right? I mean, what's the alternative? That you're a man-child desperate for validation without actually putting in work or effort to improve yourself? That most people are more like you than you'd admit because it would make you feel ordinary? Admitting that your autistic obsessions aren't any more special than someone who chooses to learn about sports, food, or social interactions?
No, you've got it made. Ignore the haters and mindless sheep, you're one of the only true thinkers in the world. Maybe if you think hard enough you can figure out a reason all the NPCs seem to be happier and more fulfilled than you.

Years of browsing imageboards have poisoned my mind with delusions of individualism and a elevated sense of self. This whole shit about thinking you're better than normalfags despite having done nothing valid that sets you apart from them. But now i realize that no matter what i do i am destined to walk the same path as them until the day i die.
The average anon on a place like this or /lit/, /b/, /pol/ or any other site like 4chan is just as shallow and broken as your average """normalfag""", if not even worse. Sites like this encourage passive spectatorship of life complemented with mockery and irony from it's users to soothe their detachment from the world. Anyone here can play pretend regarding themselves to be "above the masses" despite having done nothing to earn such a claim. Just like normalfags, the only thing that distinguishes anons from eachother isn't important things like discipline or achievement, but banal shit like muh IQ, the types and franchises of escapist media that they consume, and their criticism of literally anyone more accomplished than a basement dwelling autist.

I am done entertaining this warped view of reality given to me by the internet and entertainment. Holding this bitter point of view disregarding society as brainless slaves will not make any of you happier, nor any more of a master among slaves I have realized that i must learn to fit in with society. I am not an artist, i am not a philosopher, i am not a misunderstood genius, i am not some wise hermit, and, most likely, neither are any of you reading this. You're just perfectly normal people in denial. At best, only like two or three of you will ever be the unique individualistic special snowflake masterminds and artists you could only dream of being. Stop running away from reality by keeping a childish and divisive view of the world as a battleground between the intelligent autistic 240 IQ anons and the so-called "normalfag masses".

Hylics are those whose being is driven by an internal voice and images. They are purely material and on the same concious level as animated stone.
Psychics may lack one of both aspects or use them both but only selectively. They contain traces of the divine spark trapped in their material and as such are able to achieve gnosis through work.
Pneumatics contain an abundance of divine spark trapped inside their material body, leaving no space for intrusions of material reflection into the being. Visions and Images might rarely be experienced when they leave their material body (hypnagogia, REM sleep, hallucinations) but those aren't instrument of being as in the case with the hylic or psychic but rather experiences and visions, the divine spark reflecting into the material.
I myself am a no inner voice aphantasia chad, my thought process is a blackbox unchained from the restrictive material structures of word and image it allows me to soar to greater and increasingly abstract intellectual heights receiving knowledge not through reflections of the material world but through direct rediscovery of anamnesis itself.

Whats more material than not being able to exist as a being without perceiving your every thought through the prism of material? Every thing needs to be verbalized and has to have a material form in the mind of the hylic. The very core of his existence is material.
A pneumatic thinks top-down first he discovers the abstract (non-material) then the distills into the material (if necessary or possible), the psychic thinks bottom-up and with work will may be able to build himself a the equivalent to the tower of babel but in material reflections with a mortar of divine spark to catch a glimpse of the abstract, this raising of his consciousness is only possible due to the trace of divine spark and allows him longer and longer glimpses at the abstract.
The hylic meanwhile is unable to glimpse the abstract with the mortar of the divine spark lacking to bind the material reflections into something more than the sum of its parts.
Pneumatics should meditate (no need for the material due to anamnesis)
Psychics should research (only the combination of material and divine will lead to the abstract for him)
These my schizo interpretations derived through a anamnesis and not Canon.

I literally am.
Obviously I’m not perfect, nor the best possible version of myself (yet). But I strive for these things daily: the growth and development of my mental, physical, social, artistic, and spiritual self. I look at the people all around me, and I’m speechless at their apparent lack of interests, pursuits, and thinking beyond what is expected and force-fed by society. I’m not trying to sound like le heckin bigbrain fedora autist who stands apart from le sheep. I’m just observing the difference in approach to life between myself and my close friends vs. most people I meet IRL, people I see around town, people on reddit (and here).

I believe where the difference in how what we view as the "hylic" is that I see the hylic as totally unable to think critically, and thereby runs off the stimuli of his mortal body, while you argue that the hylic can think critically, however only ever use that ability to think within the limited confines of the mortal plane of existence.
I do find your theory extremely fascinating, however. I had never thought of that before, in thinking not only of the mortal realm, but the spiritual realm in tandem with it. How would one go about adjusting his mindset so that I accomplish this and expand my understanding of the nature of our being?

No. It softened the hearts to rot in loving murderous barbarians in pacific blindness while decrying you as the villain. It browned your country and turned your women against you for generations. It rotted your landscape from glorious sculptured garden temples to gloomy cathedrals as a middle ground for the tool shed shame leaflet prayer houses to come. Ah stockphoto powder blue pamphlets.

However, I'm not saying that everything left of a nazi is a NPC. It's perfectly possible to hold the opposite positions on all these topics and still have thinked through your positions.

They talk about them having a lower IQ, but I don't see them saying that implies they're mentally subhuman. They're human, by definition of human.
