There was that study a while ago that triggered the NPC meme. The common interpretation was that most people only think in the first way you described.

- falseprofit 3y agoI dug around to find the study you're referring to (after a now-deleted comment asked about it). Is it this one? https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/heavey-hurlburt-2008.pdf https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/heavey-hurlburt-2008.pdf If so, the interpretation you describe seems pretty far off base. Also, my impression is that that meme was not sparked by a psychological study, but that a few people did draw on this study to justify it.
- Izkata 3y agoPossibly, but that's further back than I thought it was. The trend I'm referring to started somewhere around when this was posted: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/inner-monologue-experience-science-1.5486969 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/inner-monologue-... And I thought what kicked it off was from only a few years before at most.
