Imagine there are infinite quantum timelines, where every possibility happens.

Imagine some people seem like NPCs because you are in a timeline they were barred from by their past actions, meaning the copies of them with souls and feelings are in other timelines that they deserve to be in based on their actions; in other words, you're in a timeline where they're not dead, but it would be too unfair to have them live there, so you just get a copy of them with no soul or feelings.

This could mean they're a very good person and you're in a timeline where they cannot avoid a horrible fate, or they're a very bad person and you're in a timeline where they cannot fail to achieve an epic destiny - and these things can only happen to soulless copies of them, because by the rules of the simulation, any copy of them with feelings would be filtered out once the opposite of their deserved outcome becomes the only possibility; the timelines where they get what they deserve would be the ones where they continue on with souls and feelings.

This would mean whoever's operating the simulation believes you deserve everything that happens to you, by definition. That's how the filter works. Things only happen to who deserves them; everyone who loses the possibility of getting what they deserve is immediately just an empty shell, and you think, therefore you are not one of them; you must deserve whatever's happening to you, in such a simulation.

If this sounds likely to you, I have good news: the whole concept is just a brain hack that uses a well known vulnerability in the brain hardware, called the just world fallacy. The human brain has an evolutionary flaw that makes it want to believe this shit. It's basically wishful thinking, a drive to believe in a world with some fundamental guarantee of fairness. Patch your mental software if you're vulnerable
