(FB 1550156257 Timestamp) DIFFERENT MESSAGES FOR DIFFERENT AGENCY by Noah J Revoy Different messages for different minds. Anglo = high Agency (motivation comes from the internal) Continental = lower Agency (motivation comes from the external) Once internal motivation is mastered we get less benefit from external motivators. Then we focus on getting gains by refining our understanding of what to do with our motivation.

(FB 1550176519 Timestamp) (possibly offensive )(anger over Oxford dumbing down courses for women) Oxford is dumbing down the Classics Degree? We dumbed down the SAT’s so women could have higher scores. We’ve dumbed down the university degrees with gut courses so women will go into debt financing useless degrees. We have dumbed down university professorships so women can teach. We have dumbed down the military fitness and leadership courses so women can compete. We have dumbed down boardrooms so women can serve. We have dumbed down management so women can fit in. Is there an end to what we are going to dumb down so that women can pass?

Perfect agency would require omniscience, omniscience, and complete insulation from impulse. Simon Ström translates Agency to the language of physics: AGENCY = POTENTIAL ENERGY Agency = potential energy (PE) Force = applied energy (F) Event = Impulse (Imp), [force vector + temporal dimension] Consequence = displacement vector (s) Action = work (W) Externalities = Waste heat (h) W = F * s
