Hey there @millhouze, thanks for the love!

And your definition of what the NPC meme is actually intended as is correct... (However c; ) this meme has extended into the X (Paranormal) board from where it originally appeared on POL (Politically Incorrect), so I'm actually meaning the spirituality take on it. Great observation.

I'm actually a big fan of Everett's MWI (many worlds interpretation) approach. The thing is we can't be 100% certain that we aren't NPCs ourselves operating within a closed system y'know?~

Take it easy,
