Autopiloting is difficult for two reason: first, the way we talk about it misleads us into thinking it’s something that it’s not. Two, it’s accompanied by psychological factors that are genuinely difficult to cope with. For these reasons, I propose a preventative, but not curative approach to overcoming autopiloting. In BJJ, the rear-naked choke is the #1 submission students want to learn to escape, but the #1 best counter you’ll hear to escape the RNC is to not let it happen in the first place. The same is true of autopiloting. Once you’re in, you’re in deep, but there are, I argue, root causes of autopiloting that can prevent it from occurring in the first place.
