Consider this @publicduende. Why would thousands of men throw away their lives and cause their parents grief in the Ukraine vs Russia war just for land? That's 100 percent illogical and a waste of life. Obviously human life is more important than land, unless you are an NPC and have no true life or sentience or self-awareness. Hence you don't think that way. You follow the script and program given to you, because you are an NPC. Just like video game players. You were created by the matrix and so you serve the matrix and do whatever it says, even if it's nonsensical. Throwing away your life in a senseless war for nothing and dishonoring the parents that raised you by doing so, is an NPC act. Yet millions have done that. That can't be explained unless they are pure NPCs. A real soul or divine spirit wouldn't do that.
Same with the millions who died in WW1 and WW2. Totally senseless and a waste of life, all for nothing. They did not die for freedom because the world did not achieve more freedom or happiness after WW2, but less. So 70 million people threw away their lives for nothing. A self-aware thinking person with an internal observer would never do that and would refuse to do that. Only NPCs would because they are running a program and do whatever the matrix tells them to and play their role given to them, because they are programs, not self-aware beings. See what I mean?
Everybody in their right mind would condemn violence and war. And yet, violence and war have been the fulcrum of human civilisation from its onset. Cities were founded by assimilation, which was almost never peaceful. Tribes would fight and the surviving men from the winner tribe would take all the women and make them bear their progeny. For millennia, resources were scarce and the only way for a community to survive was to live at the detriment of their neighbour. Mors tua, vita mea, ancient Romans used to say. Your death is my life.
Only, literally, in the past few decades, some of us have learned how to produce more resources than we strictly need for survival. Yet, human nature at work, war and violence is still there, as is inequality. And the cycle of scarcity will kick in again. More than one scientist and scholar have been warning humanity that natural resources we take for granted, like water or breathable air, will increasingly be precious commodities. More people will die.
I will tell you something you would never guess. The word "people" comes from the Latin noun "populus", which derives from the verb "populor". "Populor" means "to lay waste, ravage, devastate, spoil, plunder, or pillage". For all ancient human communities, a people was created by ravaging and plundering another community's resources. War and violent assimilation was not the norm, it was the ONLY way.
Consider that the meaning of war as senseless violence has only surfaced recently. For time immemorial, war has always been associated with positive notions: honor, bravery, devotion to one's homeland. For a party who attacks, there's also a party who must defend what they hold dear, at the cost of their lives. Of course, in the end, war and the spoils of war only benefit a minority of people, usually well sheltered from the effects of war. Whether Hitler or the Allies won, the sure winners of WW2 were the financial and industrial elites and those unnamed families who rule in the shadow.
Human nature and history are more complex that a simple "soul on/off" theory.

How do I know you aren't an NPC too PD? How do I know you are self-aware and have an internal observer?
I will never know. Maybe I am an NPC. Maybe you are, too,
@Winston. For all your talking of spirituality and all of your studies, you are unable to make simple life decisions that would elevate your life. Maybe that's the sign of an underdeveloped soul. Then maybe not, but they're just theories, just speculation.

I could give countless examples like this. What if no one wanted to do the dirty jobs like janitor, sewage worker, garbage collector, etc? Then society would fail to function. So the matrix has to create NPCs to do the jobs no one wants to do, otherwise no one would do them. What if everyone wanted to be an artist? Then society would cease to function. So the matrix has to create NPCs to fill every type of job. Otherwise society could not function. Same with any Sims game. The game has to create characters to serve every role and function. There is a hidden order and most people download everything they think and know and do. They are on a download frequency.
That's a very cruel thing to say, Winston. Those "dirty jobs" are perfectly dignified jobs that can sustain families and give dreams of a better life to their children. I think the matrix has nothing to do with that. Most men are not born under the socio-economic conditions to improve their lives. If they're underschooled, they have never developed ambitions, they may settle for manual labour. I personally have much more respect for a sewage worker who does their job well, than a silver-spoon banker who makes millions and trades away millions because he was high on cocaine and couldn't think straight.

If we are in a matrix or simulation then NPCs are possible and the door is opened to them existing. You gotta consider that. Don't be rigid and assume that your view of NPCs is the one and only correct one. If you are an intellectual, you would consider several possibilities or multiple possibilities, not just one. Only an NPC believes that reality only has one possiblity and interpretation. So you are acting like an NPC yourself PD. How do I know you are not? lol. Are you self-aware? Do you have an internal observer? Why do you believe there is only one correct interpretation on esoteric topics like this? No freethinking intellectual is that rigid or one dimensional. A true freethinker considers multiple possibilities.
In Taiwan, virtually everyone looks soulless. I don't say that because I dislike them only, that's just what I see. They look and act soulless and empty and blank. Nothing like me. Any living soul or spirit who goes to Taiwan can see this right away, even at the airport. It's impossible not to see, unless you are an NPC, because NPCs don't see anything wrong with other NPCs. Why would a soulless being notice that others are soulless? You see what I mean? Only if you are not soulless do you notice it.
Finally, keep in mind that only NPCs find the concept of NPCs to be offensive. Souled humans usually do not. That's one of the characteristics of NPCs I heard. Devin Madgy on his Flat Earth Paradise channel mentioned this in his videos about NPCs which are very good. So that means you could be an NPC too PD, whether you know it or not. I get the sense that NPCs are real in their reality, but not in ours. DIfferent people may be in different realities.
I wouldn't want to hold a theory from a "Flat Earth Paradise" website in much respect
Once again, I could be the NPC, or you could. Noone knows.
Our entire universe might be a simulation ruled by higher-dimensional beings. Perfectly possible. in fact, according to esoteric texts, incarnate life is nothing than a "cosmic bootcamp for the soul", a carefully planned game designed by those higher-dimensional beings, or maybe by Gods.
Yet, the same esoteric texts at least hint at the fact that we are all endowed with a basic makeup. Like the race metaphor I used in another post, we might have better or worse cars and we might be better or worse drivers. Yet, all of us are drivers (souls) and are given a car (an existence as a physical body). The soul is eternal and immanent to the universe, so there can be souls without bodies, but not bodies without souls.
