I don't think I'm smart enough to comprehend a lot of this... But "there is no way to fully access and completely explain individual agency" sounds like it doesn't exist or maybe we just don't have the mental capacity to understand it yet.
I don't really understand the "if we feel like we have agency, then we have it" idea ...where does that logic end, if I feel like I'm God am I God?
I don't know a lot about this topic so i apologize, I'm sure a lot of my questions have been talked about already.

But the fact that we don't know what's going on with the particle doesn't mean its path isn't determined.

Ok...so if I feel like I don't have agency then I don't, right? So that means that humans have agency and don't have agency at the same time?
