Agency begets power, and power begets agency. If you wish to increase your power, increase your agency, and, by proxy, your accountability as well. If you imagine what the most powerful being imaginable would be, it would be God. Now, because God is all-powerful, he is all-accountable as well; if he goes on vacation to Saskatchewan and the weather's bad, he is accountable for the bad weather, because he has power over the bad weather.
