Stip, I won't lie. Just because of you and your guided tours through Pearl Jam albums, I've used 'loss of agency' in all sort of counseling situations.

are you actually a counselor, or are you seeking these situations out just for the chance to use the phrase?

You're at a loss of agency.

You should use "ergo" twice in one paragraph like the Architect did in Matrix 3.

i'm positively delighted by stip's reaction to this thread. every single song breakdown i would start reading and go "ok, how many times will he drop 'agency' on me!?". it became a red mosquito drinking game. haha.
