    I think the whole point is that being an NPC takes less effort and the older one gets, the more one realizes this.

      I understand that. My point is that the lessened effort isn’t worth the complete lack of agency.

        I suspect that whether or not the juice is worth the squeeze is highly variable from person to person, and depends on a whole host of internal and external variables. For most, they eventually come to the conclusion that it isn’t, but only after squeezing very hard for a very long time.
