(2019-05-09) Shorin Reframing Agency

Toby Shorin: These days I've been slowly coming to reevaluate something I have held to be fundamental for a long time. For years I was obsessed with various forms of liberalism—social, emotional, industrial/employment. "Agency" is the word I've used to describe these forms.... I haven't fully abandoned this idea of agency, but I am coming to see it in more complex and challenging and useful ways... Agency of negative emotions --> agency derives from ability to hold a wide range of emotions preferencelessly... This new perspective I'm still developing also makes me see other topics dealing with freedoms and liberalism in different ways.
