Free Will and the War Against Our Minds - Are We Becoming NPCs?
Manage episode 454085580 series 2526899
The Psychology of the 5 Types of Non-Player Characters - How to Fix Them and Be a Main Character Thinker.
The same story plays out online every day. The same people are getting outraged about the same things again and again. Like Clockwork.
The human brain is highly optimised to rely on heuristics and simplistic decisions. Modern media hijacks this system to control our beliefs and emotions based on the agenda of other people.
This episode helps listeners build autonomy over their beliefs and emotions by learning the different types of Non-Player-Character:
- The Conformist NPC - Believes the consensus politically correct ideas
- The Contrarian NPC - Believes the opposite of the consensus and seeks conspiracy
- The Disciple NPC - Believes their preferred leader
- The Tribalist NPC - Follows the tribe and us vs them mentality
- The Averager NPC - Seeks the middle ground without understanding the merits of an argument.
Learn the psychology of the processes behind each NPC type and how different types of critical thinking systems or defence systems get turned on and off based simply on who delivers the message.
Building your own worldview is one of the most important things you can do in an increasingly confusing and polarised world.
