At least 75–99% of humans are mass-humans. Some appropriate words for such specimens include: normies, NPCs, sheep, the herd, the mundane, goyim, etc. What characterizes these creatures is the following:
The need for an authority and obedience to said authority. The authority doesn't have to always be one person or institution; it can also be a more abstract idea that the normie itself couldn't even grasp. What stays the same is the fact that it sits in the back of their mind constantly. There is a hierarchy of these authorities — there are smaller and greater manifestations of it. Sometimes one of the smaller, more external authorities can crumble, which leads the greater, more abstract internal authority to instruct the normie to find a new, more external-level authority as soon as possible.
The existence of these authorities leads us to the next characteristic — one-dimensional thinking.
One-dimensional thinking usually manifests as the belief in two made-up polar opposites, most often the concept of "good" and "evil" as some inherent and universal categories. The normie is inherently selfish, even though he will never see himself as such. Thus he assigns himself and his tribe the role of this universal "good", and from this position everything he dislikes or that is adversarial to him and his tribe gets assigned the role of "evil". If we are talking about an extremely robotic normie, he will associate every "evil" thing as one and disregard the possibility that there can be different kinds of adversaries — no, they must all be one.
This mental framework makes it so that the normie cannot put himself in someone else's shoes; it is simply impossible for him. The concept of one-dimensional thinking can be explained as thinking in colored blocks as opposed to thinking in gradients. Things that exist have to be put into boxes that are distinct entities instead of being viewed as a gradient. The thought that the boxes could be extracted from the gradient differently never crosses his mind. He misses the bigger picture essentially. His authority will usually be the one who constructed the boxes from the gradient. The normie will not know that there was a gradient, or if he knows, he thinks that these boxes that were presented to him are the only boxes that can be created from that gradient. If he comes across someone who has a different authority, he will perceive his (or his tribe's) boxes as misconstrued and wrong. In reality there are no correct boxes — only the whole gradient.
In reality there is no objective good or evil, but there is good and evil relative to something on a smaller scale. For example, killing someone is "evil" to the one being killed and possibly to his tribe, and it could be "good" to the one doing the killing and his tribe — however, it is not "good" or "evil" universally. The bear that catches and kills a fish is doing good for himself and evil to the fish.
This need to view things from such a simplistic perspective comes from having primal instincts but not understanding what they are. The primal instincts make it possible for the normie to survive in an environment. Due to the normie's lack of self-awareness, he will not understand that the primary self and the artificially constructed "boxes" mindset may be in a constant state of war. In the artificial environment, the awareness of this mind-war is constantly suppressed by those who subconsciously hold a higher rank than him in the mind of the normie.
The hidden authority exists within his mind and is exploited by religion, politics, governments, etc. The deeper-level boxes (the foundation) are adopted from a very young age and will remain the same throughout the normgroid's life. For the more external-level boxes (his ideology), the concepts the normie is exposed to most frequently will stick with him the most. That's why every actor seeking control over a normie needs to employ the constant use of overt or subconscious propaganda. The lower layer of boxes can be changed with ease, but it is important to do it slowly rather than quickly. A fast attempt at brainwashing will feel like an attack and produce the opposite of the desired result.
In short: the normie is a follower, not a thinker.
