Would you consider removing the last paragraph of this post? It reads like an overt “look at all the high-status people I know! I’m high-status too!” bid and jars with the rest of the post, which is significantly better.
I disagree. It also provides several other examples for those (like Kaj_Sotala) who didn’t find the post’s example of agency sufficient.
Those examples are not descriptive of how agency is hard. They don’t bolster the strength of the post.
