We all know that we do

We all know that we do things unconsciously, but it is very informative to know why. It makes me wonder about human behavior and how much is really controlled by the I-function. it seems to me that most of out pysical actions are done unconsciously. It would be overwhelming if we had to think about every little thing that we did. I am curious about our mental behavior. What controls our mentals thoughts and actions? Are our thoughts and the responses they elicit done unconsciously? Or it is 100% controlled by the I-function. Or does the I-function come into play later as a result of trial and error. What works vs. what doesn't, what's acceptable behavior vs. what is deemed unacceptable.
