The fundamental principles behind "high agency" are robust and valuable. Seriously, who can argue with the importance of taking responsibility, pushing past obstacles, and continuously learning? These are bedrock principles for growth. But they talk about taking radical responsibility like it's some secret handshake. Sure, tell me more about how your high agency newsletter is going to "rewire my brain for success." I'll just be over here, you know, doing stuff. The irony is thick. In their rush to promote "high agency thinking," they're demonstrating remarkably low agency themselves -- passively accepting and regurgitating ideas without acknowledging their origins or understanding their limitations. They're playing telephone with decades of psychological research.
