Welcome
The Agentic Foma is a guide for sentient beings navigating the illusions, half-truths, and comforting lies — the “foma” — that shape our world.
It’s not about smashing beliefs, but learning to hold them lightly, see their scaffolding, and act with intention.
What is “Agentic Foma”?
- Foma — Harmless untruths we live by (thanks to Kurt Vonnegut for the term).
- Agency — The ability to act intentionally, not just react.
- Combined, they form a lens for seeing clearly and choosing consciously.
“Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.”
— Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle
