Because cognitive dissonance is very uncomfortable for most people.
Most people refuse to deal with it, or even acknowledge it. They just ignore and keep playing real world sims.
The number of times I pointed out OBVIOUS inconsistencies and BS about the Covid vaccines to highly educated and qualified people, only to be met with the NPC stare was actually eerily fuckin creepy. I could see them just mentally go into standby mode in real time. Not arguing, not challenging anything I was saying, just making that stupid fucking face 😐
Runtime error.
Then a day or two later they’d be back at the office proudly declaring they’d had their next booster. Even when discussing everything now in hindsight four years later, there’s almost no self reflection or debate etc, just that same stupid face.
Good description. I witnessed the npc blue screen several times. All you have to do is present a very well-documented fact that goes hard against their programming. They literally shut down right in front of you. Because that’s how they can avoid shattering their whole world.
