I absolutely agree that the unconscious mind has thoughts we can not control having. And sometimes they get the upper hand and make us all say or do stupid things (particularly when we are tired, hungry, emotional or stressed). No question.


However I completely reject the notion that the conscious mind can not overcome these unconscious thoughts. It is how we learn, adapt, do the right or moral thing.

I do allow that some people have an unconscious mind that completely overwhelms their conscious. For example:
Republigistians and Trump Supporters. Diversity democrats and welfare recipients (long term) etc etc.

IE way too many of us. It is a very bizarre world, afterall.
