Is there a psychological term for people who spend their lives on autopilot? Like people who live on instinct, spending each day the same, maybe you have that guilty voice inside that tells you it's time to change but you just suppress it.

yes but i don't want you to know what it is
>>
>>25361582
Dissociation.
>>
>>25361593
But most adults are like this. You're saying 75% of adults are dissociated?
>>
>>25361595
No, I'm saying 100% of adults are like that to one degree or another including you and me.
>>
>>25361582
No, as psychology only has terms for people that don’t fit the mold. The mindless goycattle on the other hand are sacred in their worldview and the axis mundi from which all their definitions spring from.
>>
>>25361597
Alright, so who's 0% dissociated then?

>>25361593
nah, you can live on manual pilot while dissociated. you just have to puppet master your life.
>>
>>25361608
Probably people who become 100% dissociated intentionally like Buddhist monks.
>>
>>25361582
Conflict with the past, Comfort in the present and running away from confrontation.

They're not to be blamed, I blame society for that, It failed them.

On the other hand there are the goycattle

I think most philosophers worth their salt have given a label to this. Nietzsche called it a weak will (rightly) satisfied in believing a delusion.
>>
>>25361582
>Like people who live on instinct,
People who live on instinct generally don't live mundane lives.

It's not a psychological condition, it's a spiritual condition. It's called being asleep, sleepwalking, being caught in the round of death and rebirth, being a hylic, a non-believer, a person who is preoccupied with the delusion of being a person, an-nafs al-ʾammārah, once-born, unborn

Nothing will wake the soul in such a state except terrible, horrible suffering. Many of us only "came on" after someone suddenly died, our little baby emerged stillborn, or someone suffered away on a ventilator for six months, or forgot how to swallow while we watched them writhe when the doctor and his morphine shot were late, or else we may have thought for six or seven seconds that a train was bound to hit us and remove us from the world before narrowly escaping.

I think people are happy to flirt with spirituality, but they will never actually choose it until they have literally no other option

Not exactly psychological, but Heidegger has some shit to say about this -- das Man, authenticity, etc

Yes it is called inauthentic Dasein
