What does agency look like in a world of non-sovereign individuals? It is distributed. We can try performing an action, starting a protest, venturing on a quest, or designing a game, but if no one else takes up those projects with us, our agency becomes deeply limited.

We are responsible for other people’s freedom of agency, and they are responsible for ours.

So if we want to play – to exist – with other humans, we need to design experiences and onramps that let people practice supporting each other and being courageous in the midst of uncertainty.
