Besides pressing either stop or play on this episode of Permission To Win, what other REAL control do you have in your life? David and Kim (and Kerry) discuss how little "control" we have in many situations and scenarios.

Here's some other thoughts about the illusion of control provided by ChatGPT (an Artificial Intelligence Generator) that may one day rule the world...

Control is often perceived as a sense of power or influence over a given situation or outcome. However, the reality is that control is often an illusion. There are countless variables and external factors that can affect the course of events, many of which are beyond our control. Even when we feel like we have a firm grip on a situation, the truth is that there are always elements at play that we cannot predict or influence.

One of the main reasons that control is an illusion is because we often overestimate our own abilities and agency. We may think that we can control the actions and decisions of others, but the reality is that other people are their own autonomous beings with their own free will. Similarly, we may try to control external circumstances, but there are always unforeseen events or variables that can disrupt our plans.

Another reason that control is an illusion is that our perception of control can be influenced by cognitive biases. For example, the illusion of control is a cognitive bias that occurs when people overestimate their ability to control events or outcomes. This can lead to a false sense of confidence and can have negative consequences, such as taking unnecessary risks or failing to prepare for potential setbacks.

Overall, it is important to recognize that control is often an illusion and to be mindful of the limitations of our own agency. While we can take steps to increase our chances of success and influence certain outcomes, it is important to remain humble and open to the possibility that things may not always go as planned. By accepting the inherent uncertainty of life, we can be better equipped to handle unexpected challenges and find resilience in the face of change.
