If you define the Ego as self-realisation mixed with primal instincts (i.e. your consiouseness) then you must understand it is here to stay, you can't do anything about it.
The only thing you can do, is, control the responses you get from your Ego.
There exists a conscious, which sends messages to the sub-con. which sends messages to the un-con. The chain of command.
You can develop another tier of conscious which actually controls the conscious .... so therefore you can control your thoughts, and thus your actions.
this is a person in control of his/her Ego.
If someone tells you you are annoying and fat ... you can either let your Ego decide what emotion (and therefore reaction) it draws from it, or you can let your higher-self decide for itself.
I think with rationality, logic and what we call common-sense ... we will all evolve into beings who are not so stuck within our primal bounds.
Read a book called "the mutation of the mind".... cant remember hte author.
