What does it mean to describe people as gyroscopes?

1, Gyroscope, Gu Ming thinks that it can't move by itself and needs external force to rotate.

Like wringing hands and flogging.

2. Comparing a person (high-level living body-human) to a' top' (low-level inanimate object made of wood) is an anthropomorphic decoration.

This is a derogatory description.

Metaphorically, this person needs external force or others' help to exercise in his study, work or life.

I can't think for myself. I can't work for myself.
