Your proposed definition is so orthogonal to the commonly accepted definition that the question is impossible to answer. I read it like "what % of birds are owls? Defined as birds that have wingspans longer than their body length and live in tropical climates?"

Decide independently, 100% of the things in life? I think that number would be zero. Humans are mimetic creatures with highly sensitive mimetic centres in our brain, that defines much of that makes us social and able to create civilisations
