[T]hey call it mindfulness, and we call it free will or agency. But it’s the same thing: how much distance do you have from your impulses and intuitions such that you can reason.

[W]e tend to think that agency and intelligence gain in parallel but that isn’t the case. you can develop agency with limited intelligence, and intelligence with limited agency. the question is only whether you have the introspective ability to depend upon your reason rather than your impulse.

And this is why we the good guys are going to win. It can be assessed and enhanced in several ways, quickly. …. and remember – agency is not simply absolute but relative.
You work to build your own tribe’s agency but you also work to undermine and shackle your competitors.
Catherine The Great’s “Pale of Settlement” was not designed to enhance the direct agency of her christian subjects but to limit the agency of the competitors. Think about that.” — James Santagata

BIG FAMILIES ARE NOT REALLY DIFFICULT
by Nick Bailey
—“Big families actually aren’t as much of a pain as the (((news media))) portrays. I had a carseat/stroller combo that lasted through the first 5 kids. I had 5 sons in a row, so baby clothes just got saved and passed to the next kid for years. Eventually, the workload of dealing with the younger kids gets spread out among both parents and the older kids. Feeding them is cheap if you just make one-pot meals at home.
The first kid is the most expensive. Each one after that is generally less expensive, especially once you realize you don’t need all the stuff the ‘experts’ say you need. Good medical insurance is an absolute must, though.”—

[A]h. That is the question. Whether tis human to err, or to err because one is not yet human.
