Ask them a 1 political question and see if you are able to predict the possible other questions or not.

If you're able to predict them accurately, then you know they're a programmed NPC.

1) Should children be able to cut off their penis?
2) Is Biden the best?
3) Is Trump bad?
4) Abortion good?
5) Gas cars bad?
6) Save the planet?
7) Rich bad?
8) Communism good?
etc etc
If someone answers yes or no to all these unitarily, they're a bot. If they can answer 80% of the time, they're a bot. If they can do 40-60 or 50-50, they've got a brain.

The theory of NPC posits that some individuals lack true consciousness and instead behave as automated entities. To test this theory, one could design an experiment to measure the level of consciousness in individuals and compare it to a predetermined threshold. Here is a possible experiment design:

Define the criteria for measuring consciousness: This could be done by selecting a set of indicators that are commonly associated with consciousness, such as self-awareness, the ability to reflect on one's own experiences, and a sense of agency.

Recruit participants: The study would require a sample of individuals to be assessed. The sample should be large enough to ensure statistical validity.

Conduct assessments: The participants would undergo a series of assessments designed to measure their level of consciousness, using the criteria established in step one. The assessments could include self-report questionnaires, interviews, and behavioral tasks.

Establish a threshold: Based on the results of the assessments, a threshold would be set for the level of consciousness required to be considered fully conscious.

Analyze the results: The data would be analyzed to determine the percentage of participants who met the threshold for full consciousness. If the percentage was lower than expected, it could suggest that some individuals are NPCs.

Follow-up testing: In order to confirm the results, a follow-up test could be conducted with a different sample of individuals using the same criteria and threshold.

Overall, this experiment could help shed light on the NPC theory by providing empirical evidence for or against the idea that some individuals lack true consciousness. However, it is important to note that the concept of consciousness is complex and multifaceted, and any experiment to measure it would have limitations and potential sources of bias.

Retard here but I’ll share my insane take on consciousness. It’s something to do with fungus that grows in us. I think our chimp brains got hijacked by some network of fungus and that’s what allows some to be conscious while others are “NPCs” (basically just human animals with no imagination. The fungus IS “you” or the thing that consciously observes “you”. Non-NPCs are actually as natural of human as you can be, we are the ones that are “infected”.

Yes. The most common quality of Non-NPCs is necessarily that they are adamant to ensure that they are and remain non NPCs.
They do this by negation: calling everyone else an NPC means the accused has to prove they aren't an NPC to the accuser. The only truly effective way to do this is to accuse the accuser of being an NPC. Thus, the people who are unable to compete - the people who aren't willing to deny that they are NPCs, and who aren't granted Non-NPCdom by the accuser, are NPCs.

Most political questions naturally lend themselves to two default opposing views (a binary if you will). 99% of people will be aware of "current thing" topics, which means you are likely to get a useful response, and NPCs tend to have the most aggressive binary opinions about "current thing" topics, which means they will fail the test most vigorously.

You can't get more concrete than 7 direct examples. Fundamentally, any sufficiently narrow question on how a particular facet of society should be run will have a simple answer (yes or no).

>And indulging the current thing and its dichotomy changes this how?
Lol, do I really need to spell this first grade shit out for you? NPCs are defined by an inability to think beyond their programming. They formulate their worldviews in response to social shaming and validation alone. The current state of society was built on this fact by powerful interests who spent decades infiltrating all our major institutions until they controlled the levers of culture unopposed.

Here is what he said
>these totally "natural" dichotomies are only conceivable in the context of a very specific kind of braindamaged society?
Already there is a contradiction. Once the society is brain-damaged, the dichotomies become very natural. The brain damage itself had unnatural causes, but that is totally irrelevant once it already exists.

The only question that matters is how do we undo the "brain damage"? For that question we need to know a) who is brain damaged, b) how did they get that way, c) how can we reverse it? These are the questions you retards keep ignoring. All your NPC minds can conceive of is "ooga booga me right, me right. No more thought needed. Me right.

His position is that the vast majority of political topics are inorganic narratives engineered to keep the public within a very narrow frame of acceptable discourse. By engaging in the narrative at all, on either side, you are helping them manufacture a dichotomy that should not exist in the first place. Thus, you are unwittingly contributing to the intended shift of the Overton Window.

What this perspective misses is the fact that your non-participation will not slow down their goals by even 1 second. The news media will report it, the education system will teach it, the next generation will believe it, the history books will write it, and we will continue to move in the exact direction they want us to, until we live in another North Korea. However, they didn't obtain this power through military conquest; they did it through infiltration and relentless social engineering. The easiest way out is to do the same thing in reverse.

"Not playing" is not a winning move. It isn't a move at all. The winning move is making the entire country realize that the dichotomy is so ridiculous that the people who created it must be fucking you. The way to ensure that that never happens is to listen to the retards I've been arguing with.

Was Nietzsche more of an NPC than the average statist ZOGboomer or chinsect? If so, then what exactly does 'NPC' connote? You'll find that most STEMniggers are NPCs precisely because they develop an uncritical dependence on reductionist materialism and make themselves philosophically retarded when they do this. See: Sam Harris, patient zero. From this we can see moralfags and relativists are equally onions and subhuman in equal measure, with alarming regularity.

Personally, I think believing in the primacy of 'ethics' as a philosophical discipline in the first place IS the NPC detector, when it's obviously just a subordinate and retarded version of aesthetics. By this metric, evil exists and is synonymous with ugliness. I can justify this claim with substantive thesis. However, I don't expect every non-NPC to agree with this prima facie, so I'm not going to make spurious claims (as you do) that understanding of ethics/meta-ethics is a valid litmus test for true personhood. Nor is it trivial to distinguish between lack of understanding as lack of comprehension (low IQ non-NPC) versus lack of actual cognizance (NPC) or feigned as a rhetorical pivot (could be either).

Identifying NPCs is easy. Identifying non-NPCs, especially over the internet, is nearly impossible without spending lots of time with them. The only real answer is >>15249667, which only works if you're a non-NPC yourself. Most of the NPCs in this thread want a reliable experiment because, being NPCs themselves, they lack the capacity for critical thought necessary to identify their own kind. If you have any doubt, simply browse the thread and look at how many people instantly suggest politics. Not even thoughtful politics, just surface level American partisan politics.

As an example, NPCs are always obsessed with the NPC topic once they become aware of it. OP is an NPC for making this thread, which a non-NPC would never do. But of course, simply not making a thread like this doesn't qualify someone as a non-NPC, because most NPCs never think about the topic enough or are even aware of it to the point that they would make a thread.

Everyone likes to think that they're not an NPC but the fact is that what the meme seems to identify as non-NPC behavior, true independent and original thought, is shockingly rare. Maybe 1 out of every 100,00 people would qualify; maybe not even that much. Certainly the vast majority of people posting in these threads as if they're free thinkers are anything but, as evidenced by the type of diagnostic criteria they give.

One of the most NPC things you can possibly do is delegating your capacity for free thought to some prepackaged system of morality or ethics.

I think you can be a non-NPC with established systems of thought and ethics, the catch is you have to actually understand it and be able to defend however not just follow dogma. After all non-NPCs leave these things for the NPCs. I think one of the most tell tale signs of actual players is if they are capable of understanding nuance. This is why it is so easy to find an NPC just by talking to them. Do they have fanatical stances on topics they know next to nothing about? Then they are an NPC, they are just programmed and reacting to to stimuli. The stimuli being you are questioning their programming which they are pre-programmed to react violently too

Another tell tale sign -though I alluded to it already- is if they are in the cult of scientism and credentilaism. They lack the ability to understand information on their own so their entire belief system is based on appeal to authority. They don't know if something is correct or not but they will viciously attack you if it goes against whatever the high priest they have been assigned tell them (see the milgram experiment). A perfect example is the NPC here who defend Quackativity simply because it came from the Jew they have been programmed to worship. They couldnt tell you the first thing about it, don't understand any of it, yet will screech like donkeys if you challenge it. It is truly behavior for non NPCs to witness - watching NPCs chimp out over crazy nonsensical shit. The irony is it is these morons calling everyone "schizo" when any sane person observing someone chimping out over opinions of things they don't even understand is about as close to being an actual as one can get.

Not perfectly but one thing I have noticed that can be used to filter some of them is lots of NPCs will claim they wouldn't become immortal given the opportunity.

A lot of them also believe their corporate masters will make them immortal in two more weeks, so that's not a very solid criterion.

How important is politics to your personal identity?
If you HAD to pick, would you say...
Very important
Somewhat important
Not too important
Not important at all

Verys are lunatic NPCs who mostly can't talk about politicians they disagree with without having an extreme pavlovian emotional response. TDS is real. Very real. Most self-reporting communists are this. Few conservatives and those have a high rate of just hanging up on me early in the survey. Leftists generally just talk my ear off and audibly suppress crying. These people all suck to talk to.

Somewhats are NPCs who have chosen a party and stand by them but can generally blend with society. Programmed but stable.

Not too muchs are generally reasonable humans though they often favor a political party. Probably vote just get "if you don't vote yous can't complain" trogladytes off their backs. Some are really up their own butts about how unique their political beliefs are.

Not at alls are hard to make blanket statements about. Oddballs. Some blackpilled. Some see politics as a waste of time for the most part. Others have really nuanced opinions. Most dislike all political parties.

Most NPCs (like you) will declare that politics has nothing to do with their identity and that they are coming at it from an intellectual and scientific angle (that just so happens to coincide with Current Thing politics, because reality has a pro-Current-Thing bias).

But a history of political involvement has helped shape who I am, thankfully I eventually realized politics wasn't a useful tool for me to get what I want and instead served only as a heinous time sink whose only benefit was a superficial sense of belonging and an inflated sense of self-righteousness that was oft-reinforced by political teammates. Demonizing one group while constantly making excuses for the other was wildly incogruent with reality so, yeah, I abandoned political party membership.

NPCs love definitive and hate questions. They like being told what to do and having no one question it. Because if you question it that means they actually have to think now instead of just follow orders and they hate thinking, it causes them great distress. They want to surf the theta brainwave state (borderline hypnosis) and asking question snaps them out of it like a gunshot waking someone out bed. The way they try to equalize in that event is to ridicule the person asking questions until they can return to theta state baseline, If their attempts to ridicule you don't work and you stand your ground or even win others over to your side, they will have a vendetta against you no matter how wrong they were and how right you were because it is never about right and wrong to them it is about control.

Almost every NPC test in this thread relies on the political or philosophical views of the subject. This is wrong, from personal experience at least.
I've recently moved and met a lot of new people. Some very intelligent, (140+iq) who are definitely NPCs. And some extreme normies who seem to have very high levels of consciousness.

Something that I did notice is that NPCs seem a lot happier. I don't know a single depressed person who I'd call an NPC. And the other way around, I don't know a single NPC who is depressed (unless resulting from something physical like postpartum depression).

This makes me believe the main difference between NPCs and non-NPCs is how much they question the norms. (This itself leads to a higher level of consciousness). When doing this it doesn't matter what the conclusion of the subject is. A white girl listing to lil pump while drinking her 15$ starbucks coffee dreaming about marrying a rich man isn't necessarily an NPC. If she hasn't considered any of her choices/ lifestyle and just chooses the path of least resistance, then she is an NPC. The same counts for black-pilled 4channers. Do you believe all this non-conventional theories because you gave it much thought, or is it just a result of your motivated reasoning? If your life is shit it's easy to call the game rigged and blame the jews or niggers while calling yourself a free thinker.

So a better test to determine an NPC would be something like this:
- Ask questions about someones life philosophy or why they arrange their life in a certain way.
If they reply with something like: "Oh just because that's how life is" they are an NPC.
If they give a more in depth answer they might be conscious.
This is the hard part which is different for each situation.
Try to find out whether their answers on the previous questions are a result of emotional bias or whether they actually gave it some thought.

I'll give you a good indicator if the person is the NPC or not. Usually NPC's have a basic linear thinking and how to find out things.

Meanwhile the player is equipped with numerous methodologies, such as scientific method and other logical tools.

Most NPC's just pretend that they actually work or understand things, most of the times it's just a shallow imitation. If you want to find out if it's an NPC, construct a small situation or the argument that requires more advanced calculations and methodologies to get applied for it to be solved. You will see their dumbfounded faces, or a smart smirk.

Good luck Anon.
