TL;DR. Agency—the ability to iterate without permission—is the only skill that survives the next 10 years because it makes you independent of any specific skill.
Takeaways
- "Agency is the ability to iterate without permission" — be the subject of the sentence, not the object.
- ~50% of adults are stuck at the conformist stage; "independent thinking" is often just conformity to a different in-group (incl. tech/business "high agency" talk).
- Conformity is survival-driven: jobs, identities, and tribal beliefs all suppress agency because losing them feels existential.
- If you can set your own direction and resist distraction, replacement doesn't matter — you just adapt.
