The majority of people in this day and age are still not conscious most of the time (if you consider consciousness as self awareness or awareness that one is conscious).
Generally people act out of habit, conditioning, or mechanical stimulus/response. This lack of actual consciousness is the cause of many tragedies, accidents, cruel behaviors and downright stupid decisions.
Maybe the evolution of consciousness is just getting started. I hope anyway.

- chippy 11y agoI'd say the lack of actual consciousness is something we aspire too - we want to get in the zone for that game or for the work task - we want to perform automatically where time flies by. We want to be untroubled by conscious thought which causes worry and fear and escape via entertainment, or yoga, or sex etc.
