We are raised to be Egotists and then resented for it. This is the means of our alienation. Our organism knows what to do and how to act. It has been functioning in this way since before we were born. Through the accidents and consequences of what we know as thought, and the pernicious illusion of an "I" this phenomenon projects, we have forced another layer control atop our functioning organism. This amounts to saddling up a monkey onto its back.
