agreed that the term "NPC" is loaded with connotation. remembered this conversation I had a while ago with @dystopiabreaker. imho, technology is a lever, not a paleolithic crutch. yes, many qualia fall outside this, and there shouldn't be dehumanization of that. yet, there seems to be a luxury of time & opinion.

at times I think the ulterior motive of e/acc & similar is missed by its more obvious traits. qualia is not a trickledown apparatus, each human gathers experience by consuming calories, minerals, & joules. the meme may or may not work with denialism/virtuism as a foil, but it does promote the underlying for any qualia.
