It seems to me there is this resurrected illusion which is actually quite religious its base, that if we had the right moment and means either given by nature, god, internet or capitalism, we could remove our faces and dissolve the ego. Unfortunately, this is not how it works.
Absolute terms? The global attentional system which undergirds ego is at work 99 percent of time. The remaining one percent is consciously conceptual and rational thinking.

I don't think the percentage matters, what matters is the realization that many of our choices are under the command of a so-called transparent ego.
