In AI, when teaching about planning, they use the example that a dung beetle will make a plan to roll a ball of shit all the way back to their nest. However if the shit ever falls out of their reach, they won't recalculate their plan. They'll just just keep rolling an empty ball of shit as if it was still there.
They use the example of the level of intelligence of a designed system if it can handle major changes mid plan execution for if they can recalculate to find that the plan won't follow through as originally planned anymore, and redo the plan on the spot.
I CAN NOT COUNT the amount of people I know and have interacted with who can / will make a plan of any kind or life size, will start executing it but WILL NOT change course or the plan if a major or even slight event changes that would make it obvious that the original plan WILL NOT work or play out anymore. Every time I see this I'm like BRUH / DUDE / FAMILY MEMBER. YOU ARE LITERALLY AS DUMB AS A DUNG BEETLE! I don't care what your excuse is! If you can't recalculate and adjust your plan mid execution when a plan changing event happens YOU. ARE. AS. DUMB. AS A DUNG BEETLE!
Tbh, that sounds a lot like q-tards ...
Give examples
Not the person you asked, but I'll provide one.
Friend: "I have $X and want to buy a new car." Friend goes to a car dealer, realizes all new cars cost MUCH more than $X, and buys a new car anyway.
Friend a month later: "The interest, taxes, and payments are so expensive. I can barely pay my bills now!"
This friend is going to be car-poor for the next 5ish years due to this inability to stop and recalculate.
Let me guess, it was a new car, he added on features, took the extra insurance, and took the dealership rate?
Here's an example. I haven't been interacting with a lot of people the past few years so took awhile to think of one.
Know some people who made a plan to buy a to be rental property and live in it until it's paid off. They spent months searching for one in a very specific area but never found one that met the criteria. The one said to back out, we've found out mid plan that it won't work. The other went through and bought a property anyways. Now they're fucked.
Sounds about right. People do some stupid fucking stuff.
