First paragraph, agreed (excepting highly addictive drugs).
I suppose you could argue someone were searching for agency by doing a self destructive thing. I don't think willpower comes into it. Although I would agree willpower and agency are related insofar as if you don't feel you have agency, its probably hard to show much willpower.
- selflesssieve 8y agoYes, but why didn't they choose to do something positive and stress relieving? That is where I believe agency comes in to the amassing of willpower. But I guess this is why everyone is having a back and forth on here. It arises from ones own philosophical belief on external vs internal loci of control.
