Being a high-agency individual is the only moat left.
Speed of action + owning your mistakes.
In a world where information and intelligence are increasingly commoditised, complete ownership of your life is the only differentiator.
Thoughts on speed of action:
How quickly you move from idea to execution.
Most people have good ideas. Very few actually act on them fast enough for the idea to matter.
If you have an idea today, when do you actually start on it? This week? Next month? "When things settle down"?
The gap between idea and action is where most potential dies.
On owning your mistakes:
High agency isn't just about moving fast; it's also about taking full responsibility when moving fast leads to a bad outcome.
If an employee messes something up, the easy read is "they did this wrong." The high-agency read is "I hired the wrong person, trained them poorly, or built a system that let this happen."
Same with your own decisions. If you lose money on a trade, it's not the market's fault. It's yours.
Together, these two traits create a feedback loop that exponentially compounds.
