It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded

Summary

This quote suggests that having a critical vision is crucial in order to counteract or lessen the influence of our automatic, instinctive tendencies. Our natural, automatic responses can often lead us to make impulsive or irrational decisions. However, by developing a critical vision, we can become more aware of these automatic responses and consciously analyze our thoughts and actions, thus allowing us to make more deliberate and thoughtful choices. A critical vision acts as a counterbalance to our automatic tendencies, enabling us to mitigate their impact and make more reasoned decisions.
