• Can we always trust logical reasoning?
    Our language does not have a mechanism to provide a valid proof for a question outside our perceptual reality because language is inherently based on our reality.
  • Can we always trust logical reasoning?
    In Quantum physics a proposed idea as to why definitions of mathematical proofs cannot be agreed upon could be applicable to this discussion.. A purely intellectual idea, which has no connection to our perceptual reality, can only be defined from an individuals view. When there is no common connection outside of our reality., how many ways can one idea be divided.
  • Can we always trust logical reasoning?
    enough understanding of physics Carlo Roosen In Quantum mechanics, while the equations match the experimental evidence to very high degree, no one can can agree on what the equations are telling us. As we lack both the vocabulary and the concepts to describe things that function in ways that are impossible in our reality. Is this the same problem when discussing the elements of consciousness?

Writers put themselves in the persona of the characters they create. There is no deviding line between the two. The creation is the creator.
