Logic is like the sword

Summary

Logic is likened to a sword because it is a powerful tool that enables us to carefully navigate through complex situations and arguments. Just as a sword can be used to defend oneself or attack, logic can be utilized to critically analyze and discern truth from falsehood. It allows us to construct coherent thoughts, make sound judgments, and dismantle fallacious reasoning. Logic is essential in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding, serving as a weapon to cut through ambiguity and uncover rationality.

Our conscious motivations, ideas, and beliefs are a blend of false information, biases, irrational passions, rationalizations, prejudices, in which morsels of truth swim around and give the reassurance albeit false, that the whole mixture is real and true. The thinking processes attempt to organize this whole cesspool of illusions according to the laws of plausibility. This level of consciousness is supposed to reflect reality; it is the map we use for organizing our life.
