Many times, usually whilst talking, I have entered an autopilot mode, except its dysfunctional.
I can't think of examples right now, but I would say that the failures seemed like a good idea at the time.........
After, they were not.
Why is that one can enter this mode and pursue a line of approach for maybe 5 minutes without realising that the process is incorrect?
Where is the overseer/foreman?
I suppose this is down to executive dysfunction or similar controlling/apprasising situations.
AFter all, what makes someone snap out of an incorrect approach, within seconds sometimes, versus minutes?
What makes us self-correct our errors.
Example.
Undoing a tap's copper nut underneath......We're unscrewing it but then after 5 seconds we may realise its the wrong way.......
What decided that?
It sure as hell wasn't me!!!!
When I'm gaming, self correction is on such short timescales, maybe half a sec from appraisal to correction.
Examples as I remember.
Classic one here...
I may have been tired as it was after I had done a 12 hour work shift.
Anyway, I took a gold chain to a jewellers to get a valuation for insurance purposes in 1991.
The chain was weighed and I said "can you send the valuation back by registered post please"
She said " the post is pretty good, are you sure it matters."
I said "yes please, because it might get lost otherwise.
Anyway 5 days later, I received the valuation with recorded delivery methods.
What's the bit I left out for maximum effect? Any guesses?
Well, the point is that I asked her to send it back recorded delivery., because I was brainlocked and I was thinking "she needs to send the valuation AND CHAIN (which obviously I had been given back at the time of valuation...........) by recorded so it will have less chaince of getting LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???
That's dysfunctional autopilot ex.1
