coffee cup without problems. Now could that be fixed? Probably, because the only thing it would take is for it to warn me in advance when my coffee beans were starting to get low so I could choose to do the maintenance when I'm not in flow state. So the problem is if you're ever in flow state, you just can't use this device. You just can't. You've got to do something else because it'll take you r…
← Previous segment →have better navigational skills than women. But the new study revealed the reason for it is not anything genetic. Like if you thought there was some natural gender sex difference, well first of all you're a pig, and second of all ABC News is here to tell you it's not based on any kind of natural difference. It's based on the fact that boys tend to play outside more often. They're more encouraged to play outdoors, so they learn their navigational skills by playing outdoors. Totally believable, right? Everybody, every bit of that made sense to you. I mean, common sense-ly that just makes sense, right?
Because let me tell you where I learned to navigate, because I'm one of those men with navigational skills. It was in my backyard. I remember my sister would stay in and she'd play with dolls, but I'd go into the yard, still within full view of my house, and I'd play around out there. Well, I was developing navigational skills because every time I left the house within visual distance of the house, I could get back to it. And I'm not bragging. I mean the other boys could do it too. But boy, if you let a girl out in the backyard and you say it's time for dinner, the boys are like, "Yay," and they run back in the house because they got these navigational skills. How in the world did that just break?
All right, I just had a complete failure on the Locals platform. So if you don't mind, I'm going to call them back up. Whoa, it's making me log in again. Oh wow, this is dead as a doornail. Now might not be able to get this back, but let's see. It's asking me to log back in, which I've never seen before in the middle of a live stream. So it looks like they had a hiccup. All right, almost done. See, this is called getting out of flow state. So I was in this beautiful flow, really heading for something here.
All right, we're back. One click and we'll be back live again. Hello, Locals. Did you miss me? We had a little catastrophic failure there. It made me log out, log back in, but we're all good.
All right, so here's the part that you missed. ABC News says that boys have better navigational skills, but it's because they play outdoors more. And it's not even because they want to play outdoors. It's because people encourage boys to play outdoors. So as I was saying, you know, my brother and my sister and I would be playing in the backyard and Mom would say it's time for dinner. My brother and I, having these good navigation skills, we'd be like, okay, there's the house, here's me, I can solve for this. And I'd walk toward the house and I'd go inside. That's called good navigational skills. But my sister, God bless her soul, she'd be out in the yard and she'd be looking at it and she'd be like, I can see it but how do I get to it? And honestly she's still there. She died in the yard, so we'll miss her.
All right, sorry sis. She's listening to this right now. She's laughing. You're laughing, right? You're laughing, right? No, she did not get lost in the yard b

ecause she has excellent navigational skills. And as a second part of the story, I have terrible navigation skills. I don't have any navigational skills. I have none. I have good spatial skills but I don't pay attention when I go anywhere so I can never get back. Here's what I think is happening. Here's what I really think the science is without any benefit of any studies. I believe that after le…
