“
You can just do things.
— Shaiyan Khan
From his original essay:
“
Lately I've caught myself spewing increasingly abstract definitions of what it means to be 'high agency': one who has the belief and means to change their circumstances; one who takes ownership of their future; one who finds the third door. But it's simpler than that. Agency is realizing that you can just DO things. Hosting an event is as simple as sending out invites. Making a friend is a DM. Writing is just typing.
Being high agency is independent of the quality of the output itself-in fact an obsession with quality is often a convenient excuse for those who would otherwise be able to create singular things. Just go and do things.
