what do we do about "npcs"? (i disagree with the term because i think something more fundamentally sinister has turned normal humans into this. i've found engineers seemingly incapable of dealing with hypotheticals, when basically 90% of their job is hypotheticals; it makes no sense. one, in a moment of brief clarity, one "admitted" (after pretending to not understand hypotheticals) they refused to answer one because it was a trap. naturally, i responded: > if my hypothetical was a trap, wouldn't that mean that you can't defend your position? and it went nuclear. basically, whatever the "npc" phenomenon is, i think it is actually learned behavior and not innate. that shouldn't be surprising to most people here, as they used to be npc and unlearned the behavior. thoughts?
