How to avoid turning into an NPC:
- Recognize the goal of those in power is to turn us all into in NPCs
- Interpret literally and react less, seek to understand more and stay curious
-Recognize AI is primarily a tool for the machine to turn us all into NPCs
- Understand countersignals. The more a narrative is shilled, the less true it is. We all naturally like what other people like so this is hard
- Crypto is a good test ground to study these ideas. A pattern that has proven true over past 15 yrs is if you only invest in narratives that are shilled loudly you lose money. That is a sign they are trying to suck you in and dump on you. To make money you must find communities of quiet believers when the narrative is unpopular and build
- Be yourself and maintain individuality but also try to see the big picture
