Me too, although they're for misophonia...

My problem with this is that I want people to be agenty. For me the distinction between agent and complex system is about self-awareness and mindfullness. If you think about yourself and what you are and aren't capable of and how you interact with the world, you will have more agency and be a better person. I'm disgusted by people who just live like thoughtless animals.

I guess the obvious solution is to get over it. But I'm not sure I want to. It holds people to a higher standard.
