My favorite saddle light I hate for it why can't I?

Good morning and welcome to episode 1422 of Effectively Wild.

This is my favorite saddle light I hate for it why can't I?

It can get me on a surface street that will save me a tenth of a mile but add 40 minutes.

And so in that case, usually I think is that I don't know.

That's probably not right. Sometimes I will look it up and you know I'll have my co-pilot

whoever I'm driving with look it up and they'll tell me no that's crazy.

And sometimes I just ignore it and sometimes I think really hard about it.

You know I in some cases actually they're the system is correct and I'm impressed but generally speaking I would say I don't know.

I would say six out of seven times that I really have to interrogate this thing.

I end up realizing that it lacks common sense and I go with with what I know with what my sense of direction and my superior experience tell me.

And so given all of that I think you would agree it's fair for me to say that 85% of my decisions go against the analytics and that's how it's always going to be.

Well yes I guess if you're using only those edge cases as we said when we were talking about Mickey Coway.

If we were talking about every time it tells you turn right in 90 feet on such and such a street then usually you're going to do exactly what it tells you.

That's not even a decision I guess because you are just delegating the decision to the GPS but you're usually obeying its instructions except for these strange cases where it malfunctions in some way.

Yeah that's right.

And I would say that I am I am not anti GPS I like it so much that I don't even think about how much I'm using it that it is baked into the infrastructure of every decision I make when I'm driving.

Although actually I would say that in fact probably 90% of the time I'm driving I don't even use it at all I don't even turn it on because I know where I'm going I've been there a thousand times before.

And so it's actually even a smaller subset but yet I do still feel like if you said all right when you know how often do you go against the GPS I feel like in the right circumstances I could say 85% of the time.

So that is I just have been sitting on that analogy since five minutes after we hung up last time and I wanted to I wanted to bring it up because I think that is really truly the the clearest and best way that I could describe Mickey Calaways previous quote I'm in the most positive way.

Well to extend the analogy I think that if you're of a certain generation there's kind of a cut off like if you learn to drive and navigate in a pre GPS era I always have the sense that those drivers are implicitly rooting against the GPS they want to prove the GPS wrong.
