Why do some people always get lost? Research suggests that experience may matter more than innate ability when it comes to a sense of direction.

Ah, bullshit. Another scientist lie. I have terrible sense of direction and have more experience than most. On the other hand, my partner has great sense of direction and she’s been to maybe 1/20 the places I have been.

I suspect this directional ability is mostly (80%+) innate (though practice can improve it) and is another area that scientists are compelled to lie about because “anyone can do anything” is the dominant paradigm now. I’m so bad with directions (especially in cities), that I used get lost sometimes driving home from work in Charlotte, NC — a place where I’d lived for nearly 10 years.
