Humanity's Biggest Illusion

One of humanity's greatest illusions is the belief in absolute control—over nature, destiny, and even our own minds. Despite technological and scientific progress, much of life remains unpredictable. People often overestimate their understanding of reality, clinging to constructs like money, borders, or social hierarchies as if they were fundamental truths. Meanwhile, cognitive biases distort perception, making illusions like permanence, separation, and superiority seem real.
Ultimately, recognizing these illusions may be the first step toward wisdom—accepting uncertainty, embracing humility, and seeing beyond the mental frameworks that limit human potential.
