Philosophy Wire: Trust… you.

Why do some people trust their gut instincts over logic? It could be that they see those snap decisions as a more accurate reflection of their true selves and therefore are more likely to hold them with conviction, according to new research. [1] Today’s society does not hold the emotions and instinct too high. We love and worship cold hard logic. But we tend to forget that this logic is based on the hardest axioms. And because these axioms were selected despite all existing data we had, their child (logic) is so hard and strict in defending them. Our true self knows that. And he ignores logic whatsoever. Look at the crying child. No, he is not wrong. He is right. And that is why he cries so much. Soon the child will leave the strict Father. To start a life on its own. Soon the child will ‘die’. And even God will cry for not trusting Himself…
