The Weakness of Logic: Why you still Need the Emotions To Tell You One Thing that is Important

The problem with skeptical logic is that it does not ever find anything meaningful.

And the reason for this is that logic only extrapolates from what it already knows.

Logic is a series of If-Then steps.

If there is nothing meaningful already there, the If-Then cannot find it.

Logic can only extrapolate based on what it already knows.

And so skeptical logic looks at the material world, and does science.

And sees nothing but material things.

There is nothing there to bring meaning.

Nothing to say that any of this is important.

You need the emotions to give you one thing that is important.

One thing that is meaningful.

It could be nothing more than the idea that suffering is bad.

All of Buddhist philosophy is based on this, combined with logic.

But you still need that one thing that is important.

Without that one thing, logic cannot find meaning by itself.

Without that one meaningful thing, logic can only spin its wheels based on what it already knows.

You still need that one thing that is important and meaningful.

Food for thought!

God loves you!
