The Illusions  of control  by OctaviaBirthfield
41 parts Complete
The Illusion of Control: A Description The illusion of control is a psychological phenomenon where individuals believe they have more influence over events and outcomes than they actually do. This cognitive bias often leads people to overestimate their ability to manage situations, particularly in contexts characterized by uncertainty or randomness, such as gambling, investing, or personal relationships. At its core, the illusion of control manifests when individuals attribute successes to their own actions or decisions while downplaying the role of chance or external factors. For example, a gambler might believe that their strategy or intuition can sway the outcome of a game, despite the inherent randomness involved. Similarly, in everyday life, someone may feel that their meticulous planning guarantees a successful event, overlooking the unpredictable variables that can arise. This illusion can provide a comforting sense of agency and empowerment, allowing individuals to navigate life's complexities with a greater sense of confidence. However, it can also lead to overconfidence, reckless decision-making, and frustration when faced with outcomes that defy expectations. Recognizing the limitations of one's control can be crucial for making informed choices and accepting the uncertainties inherent in life. In essence, the illusion of control highlights the delicate balance between our desire for agency and the reality of unpredictability, urging us to reflect on the factors that truly shape our experiences.

What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision. For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior. Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other. One night. One game. One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events. One goal: to protect their king. ♤♡♧♢
