this means that even if you are a hooman and are playing a literal spaceship or an orc or a monster that you can STILL get confused even though it's literally a fictional species or an inanimate object

you could say that "all life is just the performance of God" and end smother the line of questioning with woo but there *is* something to feeling "real" and feeling "fake" yes? there *is* a difference to a dream and reality even though it's only obvious in retrospect yes?

similar to lucid dreamers, there's a way to habitually "check yourself" like with dreamers, as a habit it a becomes an idiosyncrasy and part of your character. e.g. you can't literally be trying to fly all the time and not come across as somewhat "airheaded"

this is "humility". a constant background process of "do i really understand everything that's going on?" "is this really who i am?" it creates a "listening" to life rather than an acting of life

the point isn't to always be listening. u need to eat and poop and kill and so on. but it leverage how obvious it is when you lose track of a conversation "sorry i wasn't listening, can you repeat that?"

w/o humility, it's too easy to be lost in the story you tell yourself (a distinctively hooman ability) with humility you can declare arrogantly "i am a level 99 elf god wizard of the barren lands" and smite your opponents but also not literally declare that on a date

the opposite of humility is typically "arrogance" but that doesn't ring true for most for most, it is "specialness"
