Episode 2 – Awakening from Autopilot Mode: Are We Just NPCs in Life?

Most of us live on routines — wake, scroll, commute, repeat. But what if those patterns aren’t just habits… what if they’re clues? In this episode of Life Through the Simulation Lens, Cassidy explores the unsettling idea that we sometimes slip into “NPC mode” — running background scripts instead of truly living as players.

From déjà vu and eerie glitches to encounters that feel scripted, we’ll ask: are these just quirks of the human brain, or breadcrumbs of something bigger? And how do we know when we’re awake — and when we’re just repeating our lines?

Join us as we map the strange terrain between conscious choice and autopilot, and invite you to start your own simulation field notes.
