Logic has to take a backseat to imagination.
But it will do everything in its power not to.
If we imagine logic as a child trying to avoid being strapped into the back seat, we can envision some playful and humorous scenarios:
The “Endless Questions” Technique: Logic might bombard you with a never-ending stream of questions, hoping to engage you in a deep philosophical debate or intellectual puzzle that distracts you from putting it in the back seat.
The “Tactical Negotiation”: Logic might attempt to negotiate its way into the front seat, presenting meticulously crafted arguments, citing statistics, and appealing to your sense of fairness and reason.
The “Logical Loopholes”: Logic might employ clever loopholes and technicalities to argue that it doesn’t need to be in the back seat. It could question the rules, point out inconsistencies, or find alternative interpretations to avoid confinement.
The “Research Avalanche”: Logic might inundate you with a massive pile of books, articles, and studies, insisting that it needs more time to gather information and analyze data before being relegated to the back seat.
The “Sudden Urgent Detour”: Logic might spontaneously come up with a seemingly important task or errand that urgently needs your attention, diverting your focus away from strapping it into the back seat.
The “Logical Distractions”: Logic might bombard you with a barrage of logical puzzles, brain teasers, or thought experiments, challenging you to solve them before you even get to the car.
