I just heard today only 10% want to be free, the other 90% want to be told what to do. I also recently heard or read (here maybe?) that people only think 2-3 times a year, the other 99.998% of the time they're just completely on autopilot.
To add a touch of nuance, one may also want to consider an individual's particular Circles Of Competence (COCs).
So a particular dude may be a real independent, critical thinker when it comes to certain areas - think Lebron bouncing an orange ball - but for a variety of reasons, prefer to follow the mainstream narratives in other areas of his life.
I mean, you could just look at the people you know. Some are amazing with money, but terrible when it comes to their physical health.
Others are monsters in the gym, but wear a mask and don't know what to do with the little money they have.
Still others invest well and are in good health, but are terrible in the romance/relationship department.
And so forth.
Always pays to know where one's COCs lie, and develop and grow new COCs when possible.
