Quote by Edward de Bono

Logic will never change emotion or perception.

Logic will never change emotion or perception.

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent disconnect between logic and emotions/perceptions. It suggests that no matter how logical or rational an argument may be, it will not be sufficient to alter one's emotions or alter their personal perspective. Emotions and perceptions are deeply subjective, influenced by personal experiences and biases, making them resistant to logical reasoning alone. Therefore, to prompt true understanding and change in others, it may require considering and addressing not just the rational aspects but also the emotional and perceptual dimensions.

Humor does not include sarcasm, invalid irony, sardonicism, innuendo, or any other form of cruelty. When these things are raised to a high point they can become wit, but unlike the French and the English, we have not been much good at wit since the days of Benjamin Franklin.

The task of evolutionary psychology is not to weigh in on human nature, a task better left to others. It is to add the satisfying kind of insight that only science can provide: to connect what we know about human nature with the rest of our knowledge of how the world works, and to explain the largest number of facts with the smallest number of assumptions.
