2. This is too much deep stuff for a Saturday n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. No, Vulcans wuold say that logic is the PATH to truth

but not that logic IS truth.

I also say that logic is not truth - it is only a tool to truth, like intuition, emotion, and spirituality.

[Zomby Woof]

3. no

There is also the ZombyTroof, which is the best kind. :-)

5. We must learn to thread water/swim in deep water, else we drown

Logic tells us the answers we are looking for lies in the direction of Math. The Odds and Ratios things.

Obviously, Bush gives us Humans poor odds for a better life. For HIM and HIS friends it would be but instead he furthers the economic division leading to discord. We need better systems that gives us better Ratios and Odds... its the Logical way, but alas, rejected for its depth and complexity.

The Sheep want Simple. The Herders give them what they want and can comprehend.

4. No. I believe intuition can be the direct perception of truth

and it isn't always arrived at logically.

7. logic is only a "truth game"

"Logic is a set of rules governing consistency in the use of a language ... logic is language about language, not language about things or events ..."
--S. I. Hayakawa, "Language in Thought and Action" (Fifth Edition); Chapter Eleven

18. Ah hah! General Semantics rears it's ugly head!

If only it did so more often!

Khash.

[shimmergal]

8. No!

Logic is a TECHNIQUE, for crying out loud. Not a source of core values.

[immoderate]

9. Logic helps you find the truth...

...if you already know what's treu.

10. If I think this is not an either/or question, does that mean

the answer is no?

[On the Road]

11. Deduction Only Covers a Fraction of the World

Observation is the only truth.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

13. Observation can only yield appearance, not truth.

[Nikia]

12. No

And when I started living a better balance away from logic, I started understanding and getting along with people better.

[kodi]

14. logic is just a tool

process is not product, or is it?

[AngryAmish]

15. The truth is what I say it is.

17. Lewis Carroll onced logically proved

that all dowagers are thistles.

"Logic is simply the ability to be wrong with authority!" - Doctor Who.

It's neither truth nor not-truth, merely a tool for manipulating information. The best tool we have, maybe, but just a tool. It's the premises you start out with that determine the value of the logic.

Khash.
