What's interesting is that what matters most is the amount of agency you perceive yourself to have, rather than the 'real' amount (which, admittedly, probably doesn't exist, but our brains trick us into thinking it does).

Based on some of the movements that seem to be picking up steam, and my own life, I believe there's something about this current time that promotes a diminished locus of control. There seems to be a real appeal of ideas who that speak to this need.

It's quite a mindvirus. Even if you know you have it, you can't quite shrug it off.
