    If we're living in a Simulation, what % of Congress are NPCs?

        If we are living in a simulation everybody is a NPC, our actions are mostly constrained and predefined.

        from a technical design standpoint, you can't have Player characters in control of the simulation or capable of derailing its main storyline. so it stands to reason that ALL of congress are NPCs and your vote doesn't matter

        Their whims are too directed. You could argue that they are “npcs coded to be selfish and evil”, but personally I always think of npcs as people who can be convinced of anything or to do anything because they have no internal psychological structure of their own

        Wasn't the while point of living in a simulation is that everyone is an NPC and just doesn't realize it?

        I thought the NPC meme mostly got going from silly psychology polls stuff like impulse control and internal monologing
