He was describing how he led his students through an exercise that proved this exact phenomenon! But what is quite interesting, and which answers Sanramon's question…is that it also relates to the fact that one leg is shorter than the other. Sighting a straight line through two distant objects is a good way to avoid this. As well as low-impact blazing. And staying in the moment helps too. Somehow a GPS seems like too much of a crutch. Our ancient ancestors needed no such things, so let's connect to the source of their knowledge instead.

I'd like to learn more about the human inclination to walk in circles.
