Yes. As you know, psychologists have labelled that part of your false, (but necessary) self, the Ego.
I'm just presenting this for clarification purposes.
If one loses the Ego completely, then you better already be in a mental hospital or monastery, because schizophrenia is takin' you home.
Through silent meditation one can achieve "space" in the inner dialogue of the Ego. In this space are eternities of possibilities. And by developing it collectively (which will probably only happen after some mass-catastrophe(s) that do not quite wipe out everyone), our minds will eventually evolve if we do not completely destroy our environment and ourselves first.
