      The NPC question has reached critical mass. What's an NPC, how do I know if I am one, how dare you presume to call people NPCs? NPCs come from RPGs, they are "non-player characters", passive manikins with finite, scripted behaviors https://twitter.com/brightabyss/status/1040610105505402881 …

      An NPC is, variously, a person with no inner monologue, a person who does not conceive of their life in terms of narrativity, or, in the parlance of our time, a basic bitch. And yes, the world is full of them.

      Inb4 that trite XKCD comic of the people on public transit all sneering at each other. The fact that they are all having the same thought accidentally concedes the point he was trying to discredit. Or maybe that's intentional, a meta-sneer. Irony, it's like bronzy or goldy.

      In my personal conception of an NPC, the difference is consumption vs. creation. I invite you to understand this idea in your own idiomatic way, if you're not an NPC.

      If as @Logo_Daedalus says the video game is the definitive media paradigm of our present age, then it's fitting that we answer one game metaphor, the NPC, with another, the free-2-play model. In F2P, 90% of players don't pay, 9% pay a little, and 1% pay 90% of the revenue.

      You could be an NPC on twitter and still be a PC in The Real World™; many people have hobbies, and if you do original work in the domain of your hobby, whether it's beer brewing, sewing, or relentlessly optimizing KPIs to drive customer engagement, then you are PC in your hobby

      But when we talk about NPCs, we mean 2 groups of people. The 1st, most obvious, are those who create NOTHING. Their mental universe is populated by mass media; Netflix; tv, video games, sports fandom. All of those can be OK but if you don't go beyond them you are meaningless

      The second group of people are NPCs specifically in the realm of philosophy and ideology. Their situation is trickier. Much of my account is an attempt to shake this second group out of their complacency. It's Sisyphean and if I'm honest I just like twitter dopamine hits

      Gamification: we must imagine Sisyphus grinding out just one more quest ma, and then I'll come to dinner I swear. His guild is counting on him.

      Compression algorithms like ZIP and PNG operate by eliminating redundant bits. The compressed artifact contains only "unique" bits in the information-theoretic sense. "Redundant" bits are removed. If humanity were compressed, how many bits of you would make it?

      Replying to @0x49fa98 @patrissimo

      Are we talking eliminating redundant bits of each hu-mon or eliminating the redundant hu-mons? Because entire persons are redundant.
