It takes a great deal of Agency to speak truthfully; and learning to speak truthfully provides you with Agency. Operational grammar of testimonial speech is as important as reading, mathematics, and logic.

—“Is hitting ok?”—
Oh I see. This is a question from a man who likes women who bite and wants the thrill of taming her.
It’s the same selfish line of reasoning as a woman who dates the dregs of society thinking she can “fix” him.
I say “selfish” because neither thinks of the children. Have you ever even been around domestic violence? Gotten a frantic phone call from a younger sibling who’s scared because they saw dad hit mom through a crack in the bedroom door?
Men who hit women have an awful effect on the children. And your wife, your children, and everyone who knew you will breathe a sigh of relief and spit on your grave when you’re dead.
Stop indulging in film noire fantasies and get a woman who’s going to work with you for the wellbeing of your children

We eat harmfully.
We choose partners dysgenically.
We manage stress short-sightedly.
We don’t “weed our own garden”.
We give our children to the government too deeply, too young and for too long.

DEFINITION: AGENCY Agency is the capacity for human beings to identify opportunities and make choices that are consistent, correspondent, existentially possible, and coherent with and within reality, and to act upon them, unimpeded by knowledge limitation (ignorance), intellectual limitation(intelligence), mindfulness limitation (impulse), physical limitations(body), instrumental limitations(technologies), resource limitations, the impediments of others and their organizations into norms, laws, institutions, polities, and armies. Perfect agency would require omniscience, omnipotence, 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

Yes, agency, like truth, or infinity, or perfection, or godhood, or moving half-way across the couch, or half-way across zeno’s line, describes an infinitely logarithmic curve. I always take my terms, whenever possible from the existing sciences, and ‘correct’ (redefine) the term. In social science, one’s social, economic, and political agency is limited by ‘structure’ (institutions), and their (socialist) implication is that differences in income are an institutional choice not a necessity of human cooperation (natural law). In social science then, we are considered to be equal in ability but unequal in institutional benefit. So I extended Agency by correcting the falsehood of equality and necessity.
