Epigraph: The truth is too strange … but the future is at stake. Please read carefully between the lines. – Mr Jones (2019) / George Orwell
The agentic state – the individual defines themselves as a soldier carrying out the orders of others. An agentic state is a state of mind in which a person will allow other people to direct their behaviours and pass responsibility for the consequences of the behaviours to the person telling them what to do. One becomes alienated from their own conscience. An instrument carrying out the wishes of others. A person chooses to become agentic and once it is chosen, it is difficult to go back.
