Logic? No Such Thing
Think about it (due to subject matter, I won't add "logically" to that command).
If there were such a thing as logic, then we would all have to agree on stuff. And we don't. Therefore, logic cannot exist, of if it does, it is outside human capacity.
I think that a particular political philosophy makes sense. You, having an equally adequate brain, come to a different conclusion and support opposing candidates and platforms.
I read a book and like it a lot. You read the same book and find all sorts of problems with it.
You believe that the world was created by aliens from the next galaxy over. I have problems accepting that aliens would want to create something as chaotic as this.
Yup, the above items are all quite subjective. But if logic exists, why can we not delve into them and find the truth? Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." If that proves my existence, then my thinking has to be right. But if my thinking doesn't agree with yours, does that mean you don't exist?
Wow. Logically, I must be Will Smith and the rest of you are those creepy beings that keep chasing him around in I AM LEGEND.
