Venkatesh Rao @vgrThis is what drives us crazy with cognitive dissonance. The wrong people being randomly better for *our* goals than right ones. A universe with that kind of unpredictability in the basic causal chain of agency (values —> intentions —> actions —> outcomes) makes us feel helplessShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Venkatesh Rao @vgrAlice is actually a bit of a high-authoritah jerk like Cartman, crossed with a high-ADHD weirdo improv artist who just rolls with whatever. Alice in Wonderland is just one giant Yes, And to absurdity, navigating murdered time with high agency, but low meaningfulness.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Venkatesh Rao @vgrOddly enough, I was the least rebellious teenager ever. Simple open rejectionism is not actually much fun. Quiet, imaginative subversion of over-evangelized norms, served slightly chilled, is much better. That takes adult sensibilities/agency. Teens can't really pull that off.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Nah, all good. Useful review. I wouldn’t have searched for that myself.

Replying to @vgr
I just noticed that being stuck in certain meetings and video-calls sends my sense of agency off a cliff edge.
