real-life npcs
theres a lot of buzz on the net these days about "real life NPCs" and i don't know what to tell u if u aren't caught up on zeitgeist/noospheric phenomena right now? like these people are real but they're not like... umm. christ how to even word it without sounding rude or shitty LOL
like these people - the kinds of people who do weird shit or survive bizarre things that shouldve killed them, like there was this one guy who slipped on a banana peel in his house ages ago, fell two storeys and he landed on his feet and was completely fine, so he just went back about his day - they're a different kind of people. like they are people, they can be talked to, they live full lives, they die one day and people miss em, but... alright i'm gonna have to talk about the seat of consciousness aren't i
OK so. the seat of consciousness is this little fucked up ball in the noosphere that is the metaphysical representation of you. like your perspective, living as a fucked up little animal on a ball of rock. you can call it the soul, or whatever u want, it just is. and like, for these folks, "real life NPCs", they don't have that. or, well, they do, it's just braided into the noosphere itself-- ok sorry that's a really long topic i don't quite understand, but like, if a finger has nerve endings and shit and is part of you, your body image, the thing you are in physical space, then these folks are basically the fingers of the noosphere. or appendages. idk i dont want to assign them function, they don't grasp anything, they just are and we have to deal with it. i guess u could call em aspects? i think thats the preferred term
for folks with this unique quality, existence is non-linear. like they perceive time but they often experience what smarter people than me call chronos discontinuity, and it is absolutely a fucking violation of causality and the physicists are furious but what can ya do lmao. so yeah like, when these folks get into these weird situations... yknow that part in hitchhikers guide where the character learns how to fly by forgetting to hit the ground? it's like that. the noosphere ofc has some vague fluffy idea in it that you really should be injured getting hit by a car but it has no reasoning. shit just floats around in it. and when your entire body is an extension of the noosphere, sometimes you forget that you should really be injured by said car. or like. you dont even conceive of it as a causal relationship, it just happens and that's it
its kinda sad how a lotta these folks are ostracised or laughed at bc they're just weird. like the world is weird enough, not their fault they are the way they are. and like fuck, literally anyone could be like this and they wouldn't even know? so what are you laughing at huh
