"I think this is true if you consider the "them" as abstract. I
   don't think there is actually anyone on autopilot, there is no
   such thing as "normal" people, and I believe everyone deep down
   wants to be real and meet their potential for human connection.
   But social pressure is very powerful, and some people are caught
   up in societal quagmire more than others. The "them" works as an
   abstraction but not as an actual group of people." Ben Lee ==
   Thank you for stating that. It's sometimes difficult to get
   across to people who believe that "them" refers to "the masses"
   and other strange notions of "the conformity of all others
   except for me and the people I like, who are unique". Indeed,
   we're all kinda trapped in this web of seeming conformity. it's
   a social lubricant. Nobody runs on autopilot I don't think. Just
   coping.. Betterment is something available to all people.
