Sovereignty is the capacity to take responsibility, to respond to the world rather than be overwhelmed by it.
Sovereignty is to be a conscious agent.
This is not something that you can be taught.
You can be invited to the work, but you must undertake it yourself.

I don't think so. Even if there is no libertarian free will, there are many layers of perceived agency that can be useful, and evolved to be so

Yeah, I suppose I’m less interested in the ontic/metaphysic understanding of free-will, than I am in what happens when people take those positions as functional pivots in their world-image. It’s amazing how sticky some ideas are,
@chagmed can tell you all about that though.pic.twitter.com/ooCYbw3xdO - 14 more replies

The universe tends towards emergent complexity through entropy, as far as we understand. Whether you call it free will or emergence, there appears to be a capacity to do what hasn't been done before. Whether we are doing it or simply tapping into it is another question.
