NPCs don't believe they have experiences because they are deterministic automata. Human Beings have experiences. Qualia. Souls. This is a self-evident, fundamental, irrefutable fact; if anyone asks you to "prove" the existence of your experience or the existence of your soul, you know beyond a reasonable doubt that they are less than human. Machines. Sub-creatures. It's like asking someone to prove that you can see, or that you feel pain when you stub your toe.

If NPCs don't have experiences, souls, or qualia, why should we believe they have the capacity to feel pain? Food for thought.

Materialists think absurd things like "rocks can have experiences." What is it about qualia that makes people piss and shit their pants?
