Obedience and the GPS
My Garmin gave me a route to the airport, but I had a hunch it was mistaken. So I went my way.
As I turned left instead of right, I heard her voice hectoring me, beseeching me to go right.
And I confess, I felt terrible. I was disobeying. Not following instructions.
If it's gotten to the point where we are uncomfortable disobeying a 3 inch by 4 inch touchscreen, then you know we've been brainwashed. It's actually okay (in fact, quite possibly productive) to call out the Garmins, the bosses and the influencers in your life, and ignore them all you like.
