Logic and logical thinking is functional and useful, and we should also take into account that emotion, intuition and reason is just as valuable.

We are emotional creatures, and we can't "logic" our ways through life and our problems; without having some kind of emotional suffering along the way. The brain knows why a habit can exist, but can't logic its way out of the habit, because; the emotion is often the core issue and problem. Food for thought for your thought post. I do appreciate it.

John F. Nash Jr., a mathematician who shared a Nobel in 1994 for work that greatly extended the reach and power of modern economic theory and whose long descent into severe mental illness and eventual recovery were the subject of a book and a film, both titled “A Beautiful Mind” had a super high intellect.

I hypothesize that this was only the intellectual part of his mind, the emotional portion was in partial conflict with it all.

The logical mind can impress new ideas and new logical concepts but they would have to resolve themselves within the subconscious (emotional) mind.

The subconscious mind is emotional at its core, and the logical mind is a mere piece to the puzzle. There are plenty of people who have a logical mind, and have emotional issues. The subconscious is an emotional center that is an interpreter.

I love logic, and your post is awesome, and I am expressing this here for other people on the thread below that we can't logic our way out of everything. We have an emotional subconscious core. The human mind is vast and logical is the neocortex of the brain.

The mammalian part of the brain is our emotion. The reptile brain is our survival mechanism. I have seen the logical mind "shit the bed" when high states of stress occur. It is valuable and should never be discarded, but it is not the only captain that runs the ship of the mind. Don't get me wrong. No where in the post does it say that we can logic our way through life. No arguments there... I am stating here that it is something we should never forget. Love your post. Awesome topic. I love this discussion! Keep up the good posts.
