That would be a comforting thought. But I'm reminded of an old memory. My dad was watching a faith healing performance on a religious channel. He asked "where do they get all these people from?". I asked what he meant and he told me to look at the people sitting in the background. "You see all those people there? they're real. They believe in this". You could fill a football stadium with the guys they had sitting in their live audience.
NPC meme is real. Fact is, MOST people lack inner dialogue -- most just follow, sadly.
Whenever you think something is so retarded no one could possibly be moronic enough to fall for it, think of how stupid the average person is. Then remember that half of the population is dumber than that.
