The vast majority of people are not self-aware. It's actually a recurring theme in the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) that most people act deterministically. For instance, in Judaism, it is said that the gentile nations were idolators until the second temple was destroyed, at which point God changed their minds so that they started to switch to monotheistic religions. That's not consistent with the idea that humanity is self-aware. Christianity and Islam have similar views on the non-self-awareness of humans.
