Do not loose your authorship.

Advice

Cognition is the stream. Attention is the beam. But beneath them there is the stance , the one who decides where the beam rests. That is agency. Not loud, not dramatic. Just the quiet capacity to say yes or no.

If that layer weakens, the world chooses for us. Algorithms choose. Impulses choose. Old conditioning chooses. We still feel active, but we are being pulled rather than orienting ourselves. The danger is not distraction alone, it is erosion of authorship.
