I can't help believing NPC theory now
Before you scream to not dehumanize others, I just ask you to be open minded. If you disagree with me, it's just fine with me.
But as I observe people's general behaviors, now I believe NPCs are real.
I think they have their own purposes.
-Harmless fillers : They just live normal life, don't question anything, look normal, go to work, get married, they even have some creativity and emotions. Like AI who learned human behaviors perfectly. They live oddly comfortable, stable life without any issues as if they are not supposed to have much problems. And even if they do, they don't question anything, sometimes act like there's glitch happening to them, like they can't cope with environmental change at all. They go crazy the moment they face something they can't comprehend, like a program faced a bug.
-Stubbornly evil/bad/violent people : Maybe some bad behaviors without reasons could be a programming conducted by NPCS. They repeat same patterns. They can't be cured. Here's a guy who gambles recklessly and ruins his own life, then he steals his family's money ruining his family's life, then he steals his friends' and relatives' money to ruin their life. Still he can't stop gambling and keep stealing/ruining other people's life. Doctors usually call it addiction or personality disorder. It's easy to name something, but most personality disorders can't be cured. Maybe it's a programming to ruin other people's life. People who kill, steal, attack others compulsively and repeatedly until they get captured or die might not be humans. If they can't stop harming others for 80 years of life without any progress or change, I believe they're NPCs conducting a programming. 'harm others' programs. I'm not talking about some bad behaviors or some violent tendency. I'm talking about a pattern which can't be changed for decades.
-Temporary fillers : They appear and disappear mysteriously, you can read about them in Glitch Matrix subs. But it's kind of rare so let's not talk about it now.
I know mods here and some people don't like NPC theory, because it can dehumanize others.
But can you really believe that every 8 bilion people are really soulled vessels?
