Why is the human mind logical? What makes it so?

Question

What is it in the human mind that makes the logical thought process possible ? How did logic evolve ? Why should we be logical?

Answer 1

I don't see the logic in any of these responses.

Answer 2

The answer I give will not be in a book like psychology or neurology or from a religion. It is something I have been working on for a long time, and it does involve most fields of science to describe my model.

But to put it simply, I must first say that I differentiate the mind from brain by the fact that the mind is aware of the passage of time, and in my model, time is not just a clock, but the dimension that holds most of the energy in the Universe. If you accept this concept, then I will say the mind has two key receptors for time, one is for the passage of time, “time receptor” which I just discussed, the other is what I call the “convergence receptor”, or gravity receptor. The gravity receptor, can sense energy density, and energy density is related to knowledge. In theoretical physics, there is a theory called “string theory”, which mathematically predicts that there are 10 to 11 dimensions to reality (space representing 3 of those). String theory is based on logic, or mathematical logic, and the logic assumes a supersymmetric state, no supersymmetry means no ‘string theory”. At the same time, this supersymmetric state is a surpergravitational (the 11th dimension of string theory called M-theory), two realities in one duality of time.

Bottom line, is that time is the source of this supersymmetric and supergravitaional state, the energy inside time is both ordered and energetically integrated, so that our mind is the receptor for this order and time relationship, and is what makes it logical. Not to confuse everyone too much, but we technically live in a broken symmetric universe, so if supersymmetry exists, time will have a dual nature to it.

Just to go to the flip side of logic for a moment, emotions are caused when our internal world and external world do not align to our logic or intentions. If we were computers, this is what we would call a crash or freezing up. But when our minds can not come to a creative logical solution, then we have emotions, which is better than crashing or freezing.

I know I went a little astray from the logic part of your question, but I wanted to try and provide a overall perspective of logic as a balance between emotions and logic, and why we struggle as human beings to try and understand the way our minds work.

Logic has given us the foundations of science and ability to manifest our minds into reality in a predictable way. Our minds are logical because they are sensing the order that exists and is embedded in "time". Although, as we look at our humanity we can see emotion is still killing the logic, so we continue to struggle to logically see this.

Answer 3

Humans are not all, and not always, logical.

Thinking logically, as best that I have been able to tell, gives one the greatest potential for evaluating sensory input and thoughts, for their accuracy and conformity to reality.

Logic (along with empiricism) is the secret ingredient of science....which is why it works so well for discovering reliable concepts for predicitng and understanding the universe.

Logic, being so good at filtering out realistic thoughts from unrealistic thoughts, grants the user of logic a reproductive advantage, thus causing the users of logic to be more likely to pass their genetic code on into future generatons of the gene duplicating process known as life.

so, it seems to me.

Sage close your hypocritical illiberal seize may ya! although i'm an agnostic, I even ought to assert atheists are extra logical and rational than open minded and tolerant. No they don't epidermis you for not believing of their techniques yet atheists will epidermis you verbally in case you do not. The YA atheists are worse than theists in which have. they don't comprehend what open minded ability. in case you at the instant are not "open" to the possibility of different beliefs and theories how are you precisely open minded? And once you ridicule someone to products with ad hominems for arguing with you the way are you tolerant? you should't be open minded even as they proclaim they have the answer to the astounding truth. I for sure do not advise all atheists yet a variety of of those in YA.

Answer 5

We have a portion of the brain no other animals have, that affords the logic. No whales, apes, or any other animal has it like the human. ALTHOUGH SQUIRRELLS can figure out complex situations to GET TO food!

Answer 6

The human mind is logical because we are able to learn from our mistakes. Programmed into our being is the ability to adapt inorder to save ourselves.

Answer 7

Humans are logical?
How do you explain taxes or having to work?
Oh yeah, that made lots of sense.

Answer 8

Logical bullshit, tell me what is the logical of war

Answer 9

God programmed it into us. We are the smarter species here on earth. We can reason, choose, decipher, think, and fail.

Answer 10

It is and it isn't.
