By The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we don’t have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car.
The problem is when we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our own habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them they control us.
The fact is that the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. This isnt necessarily a bad thing either. Our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions carry us through our lives so we dont have to stop and think about it every time we wipe our ass or start a car. The problem is when we were on autopilot for so long that we forget we are on autopilot.
A recent study from the University of Chicago found that more than 60 percent of we human beings are unaware we are on autopilot. And when we’re not aware of our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them. It’s why we feel like we can do anything and nothing at all.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Most people would say it’s a good thing because it means we’re not on autopilot. But I’m not sure that we’re on autopilot when we’re trying to look for a restaurant for dinner. We have to go through a process of learning to navigate the world, and we also have to learn to navigate ourselves.
The problem is that we tend to look for answers to life’s problems within the confines of the social world. When we don’t know what to do or where to go, we tend to turn to friends to help us figure it out. But friends are easily distracted and don’t always follow through. The people we surround ourselves with can be wrong about everything and we can be wrong about everything.
Our food baby meme is a metaphor that we can use to describe our inability to deal with the world. We tend to look for the answers to life problems within the confines of the social world. Like we are all looking for a meal, food baby. Our food baby meme is a metaphor that we can use to describe our inability to deal with the world.
