At least half of the population are incapable of independent thought, and 90%+ of the population are sheep who are manuevered by the elite. The idea of The People as an autonomous organ is a lie perpetrated by the managerial state to keep the sheep complacent. It gives the sheep a false sense of power that allows them to excercise agency in the same way that porn allows people to experience sex.

Hell, I don't think most of humanity even qualifies as semi-sentient.
