Can we have an over reliance on logic? Decribe?

Answer 1

Logic is so very valuable, when it's appropriately used. But, there are so many dimensions of ourselves, intuition, emotions, spirit, & more. The "secret" is finding harmony in all of them. Yes, it's possible, & some people seem to think it's the only thing worth diddly.

Answer 2

I don't think so. Or rather, if we could, it's a long way in our evolutionary future. It's my opinion that as a species we have an over-reliance on instinct and emotion. However, this presents a potential conundrum for the individual: if the vast majority of humans rely too much on instinct and emotion, those who rely primarily on logic will be at a disadvantage with regard to the motivations and actions of others, unless they take those illogical tendencies into account (which they could only do by abandoning logic in those instances). Those logical folks might also find themselves targeted by instinctual/emotional people who feel threatened by a process they don't understand, can't comprehend or simply have no interest in.

So, if you're a logical person and you're killed by an illogical person who doesn't understand where you're coming from, then, yes, I guess as an individual you had an over reliance on logic. But in a general sense, I really believe the world would be a much better place if more people relied on logic.

Answer 3

Over reliance on logic could pop questions like 'why did Rose not be Pink"

Today people are tied to logic for their existence . You fish for logic only when you think and not feel. Reasoning no Good when you have a mid -summer drizzle. Logic kills the spontaneity .The Journey is simple from Labor Room To Dark Room of Grave . Why litter the path with Logical rocks ?

Answer 4

Yes, I think sometimes we do rely too much on logic. While the world is certainly a very orderly, logical place, there are occasionally events that defy logic or are not as they appear. An example of something not being as it appears might be the shimmery spot on the road you logically conclude is a puddle that upon closer inspection turns out to have been a mirage. An example of an event that defies logic might be thinking of an old friend with whom you haven't had contact in a while and they suddenly call. There are perfectly logical explanations for both these events, but they haven't always been known to us. So, I think the world is a perfectly logical place--but I don't think we always have the capability to make the connections. That's why relying solely on what you know could in fact be illogical. :)

Answer 5

Yes too many people rely on logic and lose their instinct,you have to disconnect from intelligence and logic in order to reinstate instinct - intution/instinct is the core of what we are without it we are nothing but cold meat.

We do need logic though,a structural base - its like bones for the body.

Answer 6

I think we tend to over-analyze things these days. Every day decisions and interactions shouldn't be a research paper's worth of logic diagrams. Logic is good, but it shouldn't be the basis on which every decision in life is made.

Answer 7

Certainly! As an example take a look at how reliant humanity is already on computers! It really wouldn't take much at all for ALL of them to just simply stop functioning! Hence, all else ran by, managed by them stoping. Allowing ourselves to become so entangled in the web of "logic" we've woven already should be a very clear indication as to what's in store for us.

Answer 8

Our greatest attribute (our mind) is also our worst enemy. Logic requires thought and even a logical argument can result in emotional suffering.

Choose your thoughts wisely.

Answer 9

I don't think so... Logic is to acknowledge that over-analyzing can have nefarious consequences. That is, over-analyzing is overtly acting ridiculous, advocating the improbable.

Answer 10

not before we have an under reliance on emotions.
