Marblehead Posted June 13, 2010 ... and at this site anyone can expect anything from a-z or nothing at all. Now that's a fact. Hehehe. The quote is valid from a very narrow perspective. However, logic can still wonder at the 'miracle' of life, the wonder of love, and all kinds of neat concepts that do not fall into the 'scientifically provable' group of things. Even concepts such as 'spirituality' can fall well within the realm of logic if handled properly. Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Guy Posted June 14, 2010 If your logic is based on a false or limited set of experiences and observations I can agree, but if it is aimed at logic itself then it fails. What do you think has got you this computer you type on? Created this very website? etc etc etc How about you drop all your logic, and next time you wanna post on the tao bums you use nothing but a potato? may not seem very logical, but hey who needs logic to get anywhere? I look forward to your post using that potato @Sloppy FINAL GATETSU TENSHOU?!!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TzuJanLi Posted June 14, 2010 Greetings.. Logic is categorized in many ways.. mostly to suit the intentions of those that set the standards.. i rely on 'practical logic', as long as it works i accept it as valid.. if it stops working, or didn't work originally, i set it aside for future re-evaluation.. you never know how 'new evidence' will affect old opinions.. Formal logic is confined by its own limitations (formallity).. Be well.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted June 15, 2010 "Fascinating", Commander Spock (or was that Data?) I couldn't find in what writing the quote was taken from. Joseph died in 1970 so it probably was not written for either Spock or Data to say. Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
