You're completelly missing the point here. You're completelly ignoring the spiritual compononet of all this - perhaps that's is why your analysis is failing. Here's my definition of an NPC: NPCs are human beings incapable of forming their own genuine opinions and instead conform to the mainstream herd consensus. Instead of individual identities, they form a collective identity that functions as a hive mind. They are incapable of independent thought and have no capacity for critical thinking.
NPCs possess no ability of pattern recognition. They are unable to distinguish patterns in their environment on their own. The Media and the Authorities have to connect the dots for them. Pattern recognition is one of the most fundamental abilities of our brain to distinguish meaning out of the seeming chaos of our environment like the process of categorization. The Authorities have carefully eroded that ability from the NPCs and thus rendered them effectively blind and incapable of independent cognitive abilities.
When confronted with hard evidence that contradicts their mainstream consensus reality, they are incapable of rationally assessing the data and processing the evidence and instead react emotionally. When their herd consensus is challenged, they view it as a personal as well as an attack on their collective hive mind consensus reality, and so when they counter, they almost always resort to:
- personal attacks [ad hominem]: attacking the individual instead of their opinions or evidence they've presented,
- appeal to authority: if that were true, our authorities would have told us so
- appeal to masses: Most people believe. ,
- appeal to status: no self-respecting scientist believes that. or a mixture of these.
- social shaming
- attacking the method by which a specific piece of evidence was obtained
- simply ignoring the presented evidence
When they can not silence the counter narrative anymore via previously described means, they will resort to gaslighting, ostracizing, censorship, deplatforming, shutting down your bank account, locking you up or even physical violence.
They are easily manipulated by authorities. All genocides and mass killings in history have been committed by NPCs who will commit atrocities if their authorities tell them it is for the greater good.
The authorities and hive mind consensus reality give NPCs a feeling of comfort.
Some people believe that we are all born as NPCs with some people being able to wake up and deprogram, while I personally believe that we are all born as divine spirits that are curious, inquisitive and have a high sense of individuality. Only after years of mainstream media brainwashing, peer pressure, education, schooling, socialization and other forms of indoctrination do some people become NPCs. NPCs might not have a Soul. Some people believe they're born without a Soul, but I believe they have either killed or repressed their own Soul for convenience of going along with the mainstream expectations.
NPCs can be either Atheists or blind followers of a mainstream Religion completely oblivious to all the internal inconsistencies of the particular organized religion dogma that they follow.

I think what was true for pre-modern governance is also true for our modern governance. Bad, incompetent, ignorant and malevolent rule leads to decadent and suffering people. Good, competent, wise and benevolent rule leads to flourishing and increased well-being. A good king and a good democratic body has the same function in principle. It's just easier to be influential as one part over one in thousands.
The main problem being that one generation of bad leadership today has infinitely bigger impact and consequences, not only in the macro, but also in the micro. We see this clearly in bureaucracy, where an incompetent leader will have a downstream effect on everyone below him, inhibiting whatever good they could've contributed. The sad thing is that it only takes one bad link across the entire chain to stop the flow, whereas good leadership works in reverse to strengthen the flow, which necessitates a flow to begin with.
I have a strong belief that circumstances create necessity. That when a problem truly needs solving, people will appear who make it their life's mission to approach a solution. We've seen this in relation to religion and it's counterculture. We've seen this in relation to Nihilism and the rise of self-help and spirituality. We've seen this in relation to all kinds of corruption. Wherever there is unsustainability, people will rise up to change it from the inside. But as you say, this needs to occur gradually and deliberately, not through violent or sudden revolution. My only fear in this regard is that the damage done while this self-correcting process is taking place will be too great, and that it will be too delayed by the powers that be. Whereas previously we would have suffered generational trauma, soured international relations and perhaps ruined our logistics networks - things which are all horrible, but easily rebuilt over enough generations. In today's world however, we could end up causing irreparable damage. The climate, Ecological collapse, AGI, Nuclear war, etc etc.

This society is bound for yotal collapse as the beautiful ones seek adulation and position in high society without even basic living skills. Meanwhile the bulk of society, thats been handed everything since birth, bereft of true leadership and having skills forcibly trained out of them do the prior group can shine brighter and bar the doors of upward mobility closed serve them without joy, mirth or dreams of betterment. This society ever since becoming the if you dont own a home your trash in the 50s has been slipping down this slope. Humans are not built in a way to survive with their soul intact as a cog in the same city all their lives. It wasnt but three millennium ago we were nomadic hunter/gatherers moving with the seasons to better hunting grounds. This cultural species wide apocalypse on a proverbial dime to state enforced sedentary npc docility is destroying humanity's spirit and drive.
I remember a time in the long ago when the west sought challenge above all, not world dominance through consumption. We were going to the stars, we were gonna conquer the cosmos! It was after apollo 13 and challenger tragedy (watch it as it happened) the bean counters step in a moment of weakness and decry the costs of it. Which is a lie as the resources in near earth can render the rarest metals far cheaper, and with Reagans weak leadership with senility setting in, the bean counters won and set us on this course.
What we need to do is,
A. Remove the beancounters and the weak leaders from places of power.
B. Begin to modernize our infrastructure in creation
C. Begin large scale planning of mining missions via drones (seriously a 13 year olds side hustle after school and chores) to imcrewae supply and render the bean counters resource monopoly broken.
D. Begin to plan a moon colony again using drones for excess material.
We need to rebuild the human drive past our immediate needs and become not a petting zoo or petri dish, but a small fish on the galactic stage.

It is actually possible to have a small group of people (depending on what you consider to be small) that rule everything.
Adam Weishaupt created his Order for exactly such a purpose.
The idea is that it works exactly like bureaucracy does, smaller orders control specific elements of society, say like certain business or industrial leaders or even experts from particular fields. Those people are then organized in degrees of ranking, based upon usefulness, skill or compliance and take order from the degrees above them.
Eventually, you reach the top of a particular Order and there will be several across a country. From here, all these upper echelons of said specific Orders, the highest degrees, correspond to lower degrees of a higher ranking society/Order.
Whom then correspond to the higher ranking members of their own society/Order.
It s run very similar to a corporation. But who lies at the top?
Is it the CEO? Or possibly the Board of Directors? The top shareholders? Or maybe the people who grant money to those shareholders?
It s meant to be left vague and difficult for you to tell who has more power than the other, but there is a hierarchy, which becomes more clear as you advance up that hierarchy.
I have family whom were 33rd Degree Freemason and Eastern Star for example, despite being 33rd Degree, my Great-Grandfather still took direction from someone above him.
I ve also made great friends with people whom also have family that have been a part of various Orders.
One of those being far more secretive and his family held considerable wealth and influence.
The issue being, if you or your family have never been involved in this sort of thing, then you wouldn t know.
As you re essentially supposed to make a pact similar to an NDA.

Historical examples and trends are a weird thing to extrapolate in to the future. Lets take slavery for an example. Slavery was a fact of the human condition until it wasn't. I personally try and use the (probability or possibility) dichotomy to wade through this stuff but the future is just too much of an unknown.
Is Ray Kurzweil correct when he claims humanity will merge with machines by 2045? Or we will be essentially immortal by the end of 2030's? He claims he is just fallowing historical examples and trends to make his predictions. He has had a lot of success predicting technological trends in the past.
But my answer the question is simply, I don't know. The possibility of him being wrong is staggeringly high, but the possibility of him being wright is also there.
But the probability? What is the probability of him being correct? Billions have made similar claims and were proven wrong through out history, so one in a billion? He claims that his predictions are around 80% correct, so 4/5 probability. How much we want to give credit to either side of the probability, we can only do so subjectively.
I will not deny genetics plays a big part in how we behave as humans. How much does it effect? I don't know.
I can go on but this is getting long so I will just end with my personal observation. Certainty of the future is a delusion.
Even the most educated in any given field when being honest will give you caveats before saying something they believe is true. Certainty is the delusion, period.
Subjectivity is probably not a good foundation for society. But it is the only reality we can prove to exist. Maybe when we understand more, we can be more than subjective. But subjectivity is here to stay for now.

I don t think that life has purpose. If we re buying totally cynical, and rational, then no. The world couldn t give two shits about us. There are no hard moral laws, like there are physical ones.
But I think that that is freeing. Imagine if you had one pre-determined purpose. You could never rise above that, you wouldn t have free will, you wouldn t be able to choose.
In this world, you are free to pursue what you enjoy, and the enjoyment itself is the meaning. Do you want to spend all your time with friends, writing books, studying history, being a foody, travel the world, pursue art, become an architect, a scientist, or another of a myriad of things that medieval peasants, or even nobility could ever dream of? You can!
Life doesn t have a predetermined meaning, but you yourself can ascribe the world meaning through enjoyment.
I don t really care what others think of me. If I can just work hard enough to have a semi compfortable living, and pursue my interests, whatever they might be, then I m content with that.
Medieval peasants had to work the same job their dad did, or alternatively become peasants. They had no electricity, running water, children died more often than they reached maturity, and it was hard physical labour, with way worse food, and lower life expectancy.
I like privacy, I like to be alone, and I like my friends. You don t have to show your entire village every action you ever did to have good friendships.
Honestly, I think that people today are very ungrateful when they complain that it was better before. Newsflash, it really wasn t!

I have Pathological Demand Avoidance or Pervasive Drive for Autonomy and autism. Everything I do is something unique or out there, random and silly. I'm also a centrist but going further right as I'm immune from group. I don't play the consumerist game or capitalism but I'm a minimalist just collecting wisdom and knowledge. I just use what I gotta use all day everyday and figure out how to make everything unique or never experienced before. Everything I do day in and day out is non conforming. I see everything as theatre or clowns wearing suits. I know how the social hierarchy workers but still see everyone equal which gets me into strife with behaviour. I have never been rude or lied in my life. I've also done everything that I wanna do on my bucket list and I'm just 30. I'm always happy and curious about everything and have no anxiety or depression to stop me from doing anything. I would say I am a very anxious person but my brain always thinks of a way to get around a demand or anxiety.
I figure that most all labels are just renames of other nouns. People don't change but words do. I don't play the fools game of money. I play a game of wisdom. Part of my anatomy is figuring out different cogs in the machine. I will go into a different environment and quickly learn everything I need to learn and pretend to be a spy to learn more.

Sorry for not quite being on topic of the video but Whatifalthist, could you make a video essay can world peace be achieved?
This video just made me think, in regards to people living their own truth and how that obviously is denial against reality itself.
I often used to hear in school about how people should strive for world peace, and I understand the basic concept of wanting peace, which fair enough that would be great.
but then my philosophical mind kicked into action. I used to have this one teacher that judging by her character advocated left wing views whereas I consider myself right leaning centrist,
I remember this one time she talked about how diversity and world peace is something we should strive for but I was sceptical because I find that a elementary school level utopian concept, then I asked How can you have world peace when inherently different cultures with very differing views of the world and concept of morality are being forced to live together? .
to which I was responded to with a blank stare and extremely vague answers that did not at all address the question. but again, I STILL to this day have not been given an answer to with well constructed arguments.

The whitepill community is definitely very real. It often overlaps with the redpill community but I could give many examples. Jordan Peterson mainly, followed by Andrew Tate, BAP, Sol Brah, REN, and other pro-masculine figures. It's the most productive community, often giving highly meaningful advice to young men which very often improve their lives. The reason a lot of the redpill movement isnt seen as such is because of the points you put forth, that being mainly echo chambers. The common exclusion of people who oppose the status quo, either in real life or on social media, only leads to those same people talking to other people who were also cheated. This is the New Right; not only coddled and isolated conspiracy theorists, but also the self-help lobster, visionary men who give a clear answer to modern feminism, well-informed solo journalists who offer a different perspective, and many, many ideological thinkers. Despite its flaws, it's able to posit useful ideas far more relevant to the average person than the left could on its own.

I'm a great believer in beauty and trying my best in life to create through different means, like music and painting. I feel that this sets a good path that guides my life into something which has meaning in this vapid society.
I live in Sweden, so I don't see as much of this great divide within politics as there seems to be in the states, and where that it exists over here it has mainly manifested through issues that has affected people expected livelihood, like it course is everywhere, but we still have a strong safety net helping keeping our society intact.
I hope the that the rise of technology and AI can be used to our benefit, for example replacing buruaecracy - and thus making it more effective, to then let the people of the future actually reap the benefits of that system, reduce the amounts of hours and days needed to work per week, and simultaneously we need to find ways to build our communities and not fall into something automatic/npc-like and unfulfilling.

I'm in the military. Sometimes I feel like an NPC. Sometimes I feel like the main character. Its all contextual. I used to love fighting and the rush was amazing. Then I got a desk job and realized I have more of an impact behind the desk than behind the rifle. Its weird. You could make a movie about my combat deployments but that action movie would end just like that phase in my life. I am in Japan for the first time working with a huge and highly impactful command. I'm an NPC here, making the machine work. This would be a boring movie but it is more important than individual battles. But when I come home, I'll be the main male protagonist for my wife and daughter and that is where I feel the most at home (unsurprisingly. But even our elite leaders are NPCs, playing their role and reading their script.

for me, who am in the field of forestry, NPC is the plantation, where all the trees, are from the same species, are the same genetically the same or very closely related and are the same age. The plantation is very cost-effective but is very vulnerable to diseases and weather hazards. The other types of forest are mixed forests, echien and plurian forests, these forests have better health and can endure better the weather hazard but these forests aren't easy to manage or low cost and in the case, of mixed forest and plurian forest they are harder to harvest. We live in a society that wants to make money easy and cheap so the most common forest will be the plantation forest with fast-growing trees most of them non-native species that will replace most native forests sooner or later.

My idea, and theory has been that we need a sort of Individualistic, Responsibile Citizen style republic. The government MUST NOT take up responsibility from the collective. Also, the Citizen must be long term oriented to a certain degree, and must think collectively. I. e. I won't buy this product made by a company who is bad, because I'm voting with my wallet.
Most people tend to just buy cause what is one purchase in a sea of many. We need to destroy that way of thinking. We must also demolish the current work culture, people need more free time and personal responsabilities amongst which they can split their attention. Instead of coming home from work tired, you should come relatively ok, ready to pick up something else. Well, I need to look into this more

The right doesn't say January 6 didn't happen. At worst they'd say it was an event entirely organized by fbi operatives.
The truth is that it was both a mob event, but it had the fires stoked by fbi operatives who encouraged the crowd to tresspass (and worse things that thankfully didn't happen, like killing police, and capitol police also did little to stop them, often just escorting them like a tour guide.
There's also the asymmetric reaction and persecution to a single, not all that violent event, while BLM/antifa/assorted leftist rioters can light DC ablaze for days on end, putting the presidential security on high alert and having him hide in a bunker, but very little comes of it, much less multiple decades long arrests.

i dont understand how people have any real issue with modern living. is it because we never experienced life before the luxury of today? shouldnt we all be grateful that we DONT have to live like our ancestors? imagine having to wake up and physically go out to hunt, skin and gut ur food. having to walk miles just to find some clean water. imagine dying to the common cold. having to live with some debilitating disease that can easily be cured today. we can live in a world where u can be a picky eater, refuse to eat ur veggies and just door dash ur fast food to ur fat ass everyday. the NPC meme is foolish and for teens who fantasize about how their life has more meaning than the average person.

I was working nights when the 2020 election happened, and it went really distinctly suspicious in the middle of the night, talk of broken water pipes, mysterious surges in Biden ballots, right when it looked like Trump was clearly winning. There has historically always been a tradition of electoral cheating to a greater or lesser extent. Also half the people at the Capitol Jan 6 were FEDS! Jeez it definitely looks like a setup, a Reichstag Fire false flag, and there indeed are known to happen not infrequently historically. And of course the plandemic was absolutely a setup to support further power centralization, towards a dystopian suffocating all encompassing tyranny.

I'd argue that your point on many people being artists or entertainers and just being bad at it is short-sighted. People ridiculed Vincent van Gogh when he was alive, yet he's one of the greatest painters ever. Many are not appreciated in their time because others, don't see with clarity the point being made. So it's only after the time, when future gens grow up seeing the problems of the world their parents grew up in, that the point those people were making at the time is seen. You're very pessimistic I feel about the state of humanity, and if we wallow in that and don't try and make positive changes we're just doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

Exactly. That Yes You Can has became a scam to destroy your spirit and soul when in actuality, You Can't.
And those who always say stuff like you're not working hard enough, keep on it, and whatever craps floating around, I don't think they realize that they lost connection to reality. Or they just want to insult you and make themselves seem higher and more elite.
And whose fault is it that people are black-pilled? Will they, including the ones who say yes you can and the ones who say keep at it bruh, take responsibility? I don't think so. And the black-pilled falls deeper and deeper.

I recently watched one of your videos after not watching any for a while. Your quality of content has truly grown (I hope the algorithm starts showing your videos more. I used to have many deep minded conversations with my friends, but life has gotten in the way. I'm really enjoying reading all the comments and seeing all the interesting thoughts and opinions people have (I'm sure you do as well. My only opinion is that I wish I can sit back somewhere in mountains and watch as it all unfolds. Rather than sitting down and having some popcorn.
