Actually no, some people are completely identified with their roles and take themselves seriously and have no idea what it would mean to be wholly authentic and real.
Some in fact are hard as rock and completely unchangable and without any degree of flexibility whatsoever, both in their persona and in terms of their closely held and cherished opinions.
Such a one would resent the very implication that they are not real or authentic.
You see them everywhere, even in the mirror, but the fake person, he's the one who refuses to see it, and that's kind of funny, if only they could be persuaded to laugh at themselves and at the absurd and ridiculous nature of their own inauthenticity or fakeness.

The basic premise being that anyone who lives by The Mind/Ego and Impulses of the body alone is a fake person living in Illusion.

Paradoxically, any one who is being fake is doing so genuinely.
Another way to look at it would be that anyone who is living by the impulses of the body is a true human that is living in alignment with nature instead of long-held beliefs.
If a person wants to follow the impulses/urges of their body. Go ahead. Allow the body to be human.

People are already living according to nature. How can something live not according to nature? If one is being 'fake,' it is in their nature to do so. Paradoxically, any one who is being fake is doing so genuinely.

I'm not sure what your point is. That website seems to be about Humes and his ideas on human nature, government, etc. But that does not prove the idea that following the body is just natural instinct and the human body will respond in a very human way, making it natural human nature...
