The Planning Fallacy is a star on the Constellate sky: placed by meaning, named, and connected to the stars around it. This is the short form of its post: the line it carries, the area we colour Biases, and what stands beside it today.
The line it carries on the sky: Every plan is scheduled from the inside, where nothing ever goes wrong.
What stands beside it
The stars nearest to it are Base-Rate Neglect, Hindsight Bias, Hyperbolic Discounting and Parkinson's Law, and Second-Order Thinking is already open to walk. When The Planning Fallacy opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.
Ask for this star
Every star is lit by demand. Ask for The Planning Fallacy and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
