1. I think you make a good point about the fact that most people (including myself) do not have a consistent moral philosophy and having a consistent moral philosophy is probably very empowering in a self-aware sense.

2. I don't believe darkworkerism is a consistent moral philosophy and that the only consistent view is something closer to a lightworker but I'm not sure about that, I haven't given it much thought.

3. However, I have given the buddhist doctrine of no-self a lot of thought and it makes a lot of sense to me, which is what makes me doubt the consistency of darkworker thinking. Trying to please the "I" only perpetuates the "I"'s suffering ( in this case the suffering might be subtle but its still there). Its not a complete philosophy because its only concern is for an illusion, reality will come back to bite.

4. The lightworker philosophy is also incomplete for the same reason. The main concern for the lightworker is for the good of all but there is no "all" and so the lightworker drama is also only a drama. I'm not saying compassionate action should not be done, just that the motivation is wrong.

5. I believe that the only consistent line of moral thinking cannot be found through intellectual analysis and while intellectual analysis is an important step it cannot bring a person to perfect self-awareness.

6. I do, however, believe that being an NPC is a sorry option, so I appreciate that point.
