Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. No sense in beating yourself up about it. Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now. Be flexible with your future self. There are many paths to success. You don't need life to be a certain way to live well.

If we want to defend “agency” against its critics, what we need is not to hedge it, but to rethink its full meaning and scope. Human agency is NOT fundamentally about “just doing things”. It’s about taking conscious ownership of your life. This includes taking ownership over the ends you choose, no less than the means by which you enact them. Someone who “successfully” wreaks revenge upon all who have ever slighted him, at the cost of actually building a flourishing life for himself, is strictly lower-agency than someone who chooses the latter. Same goes for “successfully” starving yourself to death as a show of martyrdom, or blowing up your life savings for the sake of a momentary thrill, or propping up a dictator who then makes life unlivable for everyone including you. All lower-agency than even a quiet and unremarkable life spent on constructive, personally fulfilling pursuits. The hardest and most important way we exercise our agency (or fail to) is in architecting our lives: that is, designing the latticework of interconnected ends to which we want our life to add up. “Should I optimize for impact, or enjoyment, or financial security?” “What do I want in a life partner?” “Will my life be better or worse if I have kids?” There are more and less agentic ways to think through such design decisions, and the vast majority of people default to the less agentic ways. That’s why so much of my writing focuses on how to approach your life design agentically (cf the builder’s mindset). The #1 way for most people to increase their agency is to put more honest, independent thought into architecting their own ends, versus 1) executing on some prefabricated blueprint of a great life (whether supplied by the do-gooder EA movement, or Silicon Valley, or the bible, or one’s drill-sergeant parents) or 2) haphazardly piling on bricks and girders with no view to the overall design. Instead, most of the current discourse on “high agency” just presents another prefabricated blueprint, loosely based on the cultural archetype of a Silicon Valley tech founder: “you can just do things,” “move fast and break things,” “permissionless action,” etc. Sometimes it’s indeed high-agency to behave in these ways. Other times it’s higher-agency to plan ahead and think things through, or move slowly and demand perfection, or consult with experts. The key question is: are you doing what you honestly judge best, by your own lights, given the full context of the life you are consciously building?

This is incredible. The new @NASA image release from #Artemis includes a sequence of 'Hello World' still photographs. I've been processing / animating them and here's what the original didn't show us: Satellites, including their solar arrays, lightning storms and dancing aurora!

It's our home. This Earth Day, see our planet as our Artemis II astronauts saw it with these new images from the mission.

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

Our Artemis II astronauts are back on Earth, but this is just the beginning. Artemis III in 2027 will test our lunar landers and push our capabilities forward. Artemis IV in 2028 will begin the first phase of the @NASAMoonBase and establish our path to stay. We are building with purpose, moving with urgency, and keeping our promise to @POTUS. This is how the next chapter begins at NASA.

And splashdown! America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars. This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next. And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you. Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

The eclipse from Orion. On April 6, external cameras attached to the Orion spacecraft's solar array wings captured the Moon backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking. You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.
