> you are one who does not believe in the power of self-agency because perhaps you've already relinquished yours? It's hard for my response to be anything other than rolling my eyes. I'm a grad student. If my advisor demanded the ability to surveil me at all times, what would you expect me to do? Quit grad school, throwing away my last four years of work, because I have "self-agency"? No, I'd complain to some higher power -- in my case, the graduate student association or the university.

...Is your default reaction to hearing an opinion you do not agree with or understand to roll your eyes? Thanks for describing what you would do in the situation. It sounds like you are the type who would accept it given the option of quitting or continuing, is that fair to say based off an incomplete answer? There's no right or wrong, there's simply choice in the matter we all have that power to choose :)
