Autopilot Vs Control

You can choose autopilot or you can choose close control.

Autopilot means you give up control for comfort. You can spend your energy elsewhere, but you might lose out on optimization.

Close control means you can optimize, but it requires your attention.

Example: A bus commute gives me less control over my location, but I can spend my energy reading or writing. Driving requires my close attention, but lets me go wherever I want.

You decide what to closely control and what to put on autopilot. And you can’t closely control everything. You only have so much energy and attention.
