The six-force model: technology, land, government, finance, AGI, religion — six forces pass through humans as light through glass. The human is a carrier, not an actor. The model's greatest use is diagnosing yourself: right now, which force is passing through you?
Symptom check. Technology passing through you: your attention is defined by tools (you don't know what to do without your phone); you judge feasibility by "is there an app for it". Finance: you measure every choice by return rate, including which book to read. Government: your possibility boundary is drawn by "does policy allow it".
Religion: you carry a list of unquestionable beliefs. Land: your identity is defined by birthplace or property; mobility panics you. AGI: you outsource judgment to recommendation algorithms; your opinion distribution matches your feed distribution.
Diagnosis is not accusation. Being passed through is normal — the problem is being passed through by one force only. A single-force carrier has no shape: a pure tech carrier becomes a tool; a pure finance carrier, a walking ROI; a pure algorithm carrier, a data point.
Rebalancing: deliberately invite a second force. The tech carrier reads history; the finance carrier creates; the algorithm carrier handwrites long-form. Where two forces cross, you have your own angle — single-force carriers are megaphones; crossings produce viewpoints.
Run the checkup quarterly: ask each force "what is it doing through me right now". "Transmitting" = healthy medium. "Occupying" = colonized by a single force.
