   Isn't part of the definition of an NPC that they aren't conscious? So saying this is somewhat N/A.

     @RustyCrab famous people should try not to think much about the NPC thing - they have enough difficulty being normal and well-adjusted

     @RustyCrab I thought they had the ability to experience things and it was just related to their lack of self-reflectivity. I've tried not to think too hard about this though, so maybe my idea of NPC is not well-formed :02_shrug:

     The NPC meme was just an attempt to repackage the Philosophical Zombie thought experiment to make it more easy to digest for Millennials and Zoomers.

     @Binkle but what I'm saying makes sense right? NPCs don't have a first person perspective under standard definition so if somebody is reading that first hand then they aren't an NPC.
