Getting back to the discussion...
You regard most people as socially driven.
I regard that many identify socially, but that identity is temporary no matter what. What happens is people "come back again and again" to a perspective, thinking its the same perspective when its not actually, because nothing is ever the same. But the act of identifying makes a stable experience of sorts and then people can manipulate and be manipulated by this mode of perception. But still it is dropped once a new task presents itself, such as going to sleep.
