What is Self Agency ?

Image
In the relentless machinery of capitalism, where ideas collide and fortunes are forged, a quiet revolution is underway. As artificial intelligence democratizes access to knowledge and problem-solving, raw intelligence—once the holy grail of achievement—fades in prominence. What emerges as the ultimate differentiator is agency: the unyielding drive to act, to seize opportunities, and to execute boldly in the face of uncertainty. This isn't a new concept; it's woven into the fabric of economic history. From the daring explorers of the Renaissance to the disruptive entrepreneurs of today, capitalism has always rewarded those who move decisively rather than those who merely think profoundly.

  A Letter to Ibrahim Traore, Assimi Goita, and AbdourahmaneTchiani By Campbell Kitts To Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso, Assimi Goita of Mali, and Abdourahmane Tchiani of the Republic of Niger, In the vast expanse of the African continent, where the sun rises with a promise and sets with a whisper of hope, your names have become synonymous with bravery and resilience. You stand as the vanguard of a new dawn, a beacon of hope for millions who have long been shackled by the chains of subjugation and oppression. Your actions resonate with the echoes of history, and your courage is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Africa. In the words of Rumi, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." Africa has borne the scars of colonialism, exploitation, and systemic injustice. Yet, from these wounds, a new light has emerged—a light that you have kindled with your unwavering resolve and steadfast leadership. You have dared to challenge the status quo, to confront the forces ...
