    Route - The Flexible Navigator's Advantage
    Apr 16 2026
    Ryan Cole explores why intelligent people follow failing plans, examining neuroscience of cognitive flexibility. He reveals how brains encode routes as rigid sequences, making adaptation difficult. Cole discusses GPS dependency, landmark-based decisions, and strategies for developing improvisational skills that separate successful navigators from those stuck in certainty.
