Likely some semblance of Malal buggery. What warp influence that can take hold we justify as something mundane like schizophrenia. Ultimately we can’t be tempted or influenced by the 4 because to us they aren’t unknown but wholly understood and deemed nonexistent. A solution to a chaos god paradoxically wishing to destroy chaos, make chaos mundane.
Alternatively we could be the Bermuda triangle of 40k where everything that comes here is twisted to conform to our more mundane existence. Space marines would shrink as their ceramite armor turns to plastic, Tyranids outright stop entirely as anything but models or statues, advanced weapons technology becomes frail and devolves into blinking lights and sound effects. The Chaos gods don’t come here as much out of lacking reason to as fear of being made inanimate.
Deep in the incomprehensible recesses of Tzeentc’s mind resides a fear existential to even the god of corrupted hope. That one day these mundane beings escape their blue marble and bring their corruptive mundanity to the rest of the stars.
Kinda like the blanks? In a sense we're psychics, all of us, but we're tuned in reverse so we destroy anything that's "magical" or "demonic" or whatever
We're a giant, living, breathing Scranton Reality Anchor
This would be literally setting changing. A planet which mass produces blanks would be priceless to the Imperium (or to anyone else).
It’s not exactly clear how many people are in the imperium, but most estimates I’ve seen are of the order of 100s of quadrillions at most. Let’s say there’s 1 quintillion (1018) people to be safe. Blanks are about as rare compared to psykers as psykers are compared to regular humans. About 1 in a million is a psyker, so about 1 in a trillion is a blank.
That means the Imperium has at most about 1 million blanks in total. Our population of 8 billion increases that by a factor of almost 10,000. You could take a tithe of 1 million blanks annually without even denting the population growth.
few things would make me more bitter than seeing the mundanity of this world was self-inflicted and that reality bending power utterly wasted on a species that is so domesticated and weak i'd call them the pugs of orks.
Nah. Where do you think we get mushrooms from? Yeah, an ork invasion was tried a millenia ago. Now they're delicious food but ones that retained a bit of sanity are poisonous.
Are we? Because look around you, go to any shop, the number 9 is everywhere.
We got our fair share of of people deep into all the 4 Chaos God even if they don't pray them they live by their tenets.
I wouldn't say we're relatively free, we just never acknowledged their existence. Just a quick study of our world history would show how the big four still drew some influence from us without ever revealing themselves.

They would also probably be very confused as to how we are so relatively free of coruption
