This is very interesting. Can you recommend any longer form thoughts on the topic? Or if none exist, maybe please write a full essay on it? I’d be an avid reader.

Have you considered that you might be biased in that you cluster with people for whom agency matters greatly? Because it ain't all of us.

I’m specifically not thinking of that group but people who on paper lack agency and adopt a low-agency posture. Their realities are functions of their actual agency (often unconscious). Eg, a study that showed “powerless” housewives controlled husbands through what they cooked.
