Probably, Roy was born agentic as a part of a package which included an disregard for intellectual growth.
This doesn't mean that being agentic cannot be cultivated by regular people.
In 2026, yes, agency matters more than skill/wisdom/intelligence to get VC funds. But what's the point of agency alone if you are leading such a life?
What gives me hope is that in 2026, skillful people can delegate a lot of their work to LLMs, which gives them time to learn the "agentic" part which is basically marketing and talking with people.
