Aporia(@aporia9n):You don’t get extra agency points for living in a tier-3 city vs nyc/london where you’d have 100x more surface area for luck A lot of people confuse agency with merit / suffering. feels like a very protestant US / western instinct to turn unnecessary friction into moral credit High agency is almost the opposite imo: figuring out which constraints are actually fixed and which ones you can just delete from your life (bad city, bad boss, stupid commute, wrong industry) instead of getting insanely good at tolerating them

interesting perspective but there’s nothing high-agency about choosing hard mode for its own sake you move to nyc/london cuz you understand your environment is leverage you don’t prove agency by refusing leverage
