In | In March 2025, writer and strategist '''[https://x.com/george__mack George Mack]''' published an influential essay titled ''[https://www.highagency.com High Agency]'', which sought to distill and operationalize the concept originally articulated by Eric Weinstein in 2016. While Weinstein introduced ''high agency'' as a psychological trait characterized by irreverent problem-solving and creative defiance of limitations, Mack extended the idea into a '''personal development framework''' complete with practical tools, mental models, and "lines of code" for everyday application. | ||
Mack’s essay, which he described as the product of '''seven months of work''', aimed to offer a '''30-minute blueprint''' for cultivating a high-agency mindset in modern life. It gained wide traction online and was praised for its clarity, relevance, and impact—especially among readers in entrepreneurship, self-improvement, and technology. | Mack’s essay, which he described as the product of '''seven months of work''', aimed to offer a '''30-minute blueprint''' for cultivating a high-agency mindset in modern life.
