Trainable Intellectual Agency
Models intellectual agency as three facets sharing a constant projection onto general intelligence (g), where the residual, g-orthogonal component reflects trainable skill rather than fixed trait.
Where This Idea Comes From
The essay's central hedge against fatalism about intelligence: unlike general intelligence itself, which a century of psychometrics has failed to reliably raise, two of the three measured facets of intellectual agency are trainable skills — which matters whether horsepower is being commoditized by AI or taken by illness, injury, or age.
