Logic

It isn't inherent in our minds--logic. It's another system we've created. If it was the foundation for our mind and dictated everything that happens within it, it would never be able to be suppressed. If you've ever been in a relationship you've had first-hand experience with logic going out the window.

I don't like to base my existence upon concepts man has created, because there is usually something deeper; and usually said concepts eventually become too constricting to produce brand-new and extremely useful ideas that life requires. So thinking that something man has created is the basis for everything else you view and experience in your life is like looking at a grain of sand and thinking it is the smallest, most indivisible element there is and everything must be built from these sand grains. While sand is very useful for bricks and glass, the day you want to build a strong skyscraper or have something to drink that doesn't itch your throat, sand is no longer relevant or useful.

It's a good thing we at least somewhat understand atoms and that sand wasn't the only thing we were provided when we decided to discover the world.

So I like being creative. Everyone is creative, whether they know it or not-- it's simply been exploited in all the ways we see every day. In fact, if anything is truly fundamental to the human mind, I would argue that being able to express what the mind creates is one of them. But I digress. I liked philosophy for a short amount of time when I took it as a class two semesters ago because it provided a new perspective-- one I thought useful for some sort of answers to my life. I now hate philosophy and stand by the opinion that it is complete and utter bullshit, not to mention the strong hold futility has on it. Logic is philosophy's life-blood. Logic also dictates that if that previous statement is true, philosophy must be bullshit as well. But if logic is bullshit, then that whole statement--which is based on logic--is bullshit just as well.

This is where things get fun. As I've said before, the world works in twos. Logic had it good with true and false, but the occasional "maybe" that comes up every so often blows its cover. So it seems to me that logic is just another way of communication-- like language. When it's blown out of proportion and treated as definite, logic has no hope. Its purpose is moot. This entire argument--the statements I've made--they don't mean anything unless you find them meaningful and "true" to you. Otherwise they don't mean that what I think is absolutely true; they don't mean what I think is absolutely false. They create one big "maybe" that simply floats, not properly grounded to anything solid; just there for the taking-- or the leaving. And if you don't have the thought in your mind that you need another person to agree with you to be able to accept your own thoughts (as classic "creatives" don't), this whole "maybe" thing is kinda cool.
