Lies--dam lies and statistics
Logic example if only 10% of accidents are caused by drunk drivers you are therfore less likely to have an accident if drunk :smt115 |
Re: Logic Vs Free thinking
I think that describes human nature and faith quite well. Of course, that's only if 'the truth' exists at all in a single version

Re: Logic Vs Free thinking
As in both sides of the story and the truth?

Re: Logic Vs Free thinking
I don't agree.
The principle is correct, but the suggestion that a given logic, (even if distorted), is preferred, is wrong. It would be more correct to say that humans often ignore quite plain and readily deductible evidence in order to satisfy a given prejudice. Which is not to say prejudice in any discrediting manner, but that we all have a presumed way of thinking about the things that we know and will apply that natively. Example: Something not readily explicable occurs, the religious person ascribes this to God, the spiritualist sees ghosts at work, the scientist says there's not enough data to make a judgement. This is evidence solely of the manner in which people see the world around them, and thus make judgements using the language or cultural mores with which they are familiar. And War and Peace is waaaayyy too long, the story is good, but it could really do with some editing. |
Re: Logic Vs Free thinking
Why can't logical thought be free thinking, and vice versa?
