The difference of the European navigator to that of the Trukese is a pretty interesting example and metaphor. The primary difference being that the European constructs a full plan of action to reach his destination. He notes the speeds at which he must go and where to turn and when. The Trukese only knows his destination and makes all other decisions in situ. The reason being that you can never plan perfectly because there are always changes and it is more important to focus on reacting to those changes. This is where the European is flawed because even though he has a solid plan, the must change as unpredicted occurrences are presented during his travel. This is related, and important, to the conversation of artificial intelligence because it is easy to make a robot and tell it (program) to walk to a destination, but it will not be able to reach the destination if something gets in its way. An artificial intelligent bot would however be able to react to the spontaneous obstruction.
