Fear of AI is not about intelligence but agency.
High-agency people don't fear AI because it was never about intelligence in the first place.
It's about setting an aim and using whatever resources you have to get what you want out of life.
It's about being disagreeable enough to reject the trajectory someone else tries to hand you.
I now truly think the future isn't about job titles (after 10s of pods on AI).
It's about your position on the agency spectrum.
Low-Agency (The Employee Mindset):
- Goals are assigned.
- Action requires permission.
- The world is something that happens to you.
- You exist in a programmed state of life.
High-Agency (The Entrepreneurial Mindset):
- Goals are created.
- Action is self-authorized.
- The world is something you happen to.
- You exist in a chosen state of life.
The "entry-level" is going extinct because it was the ultimate low-agency role.
The future belongs to those who choose high agency, whether they start a company or become an elite, self-directed employee.
Your only real choice: which side of the spectrum will you occupy?
There’s always a choice and a way (you get it if you’re high agency).
