This false self is observable in the frozen facial expressions, stereotypic gestures, and unexamined behavioral patterns of the general public. This false self determines much of our everyday lives, so that we are seldom the origin of our actions.

And from the moment you stepped forward you'd have to be %100 dirt proof, effortlessly shinning through any that's been flung at you.
I certainly have never seen or heard of such a person. But, on second thoughts, perhaps all we need is the current evolutionary change
