Logic

Is logic nothing more than a mere line of thought that has yet to be defeated by another line of thought?

Is anything really logical, or rather is there really a set standard of logic that cannot be broken?

I was thinking about this a few days back during Theory of Equations. The professor said something to the effect of a logical statement, and it had me thinking. Isn't everything in this world merely grounded within human perception? There are really two types of reality, that external of the human race, and that involving the human race. The problem is that the entire "school of logic" that humanity subscribes to is merely human perception, so in reality humanity can perceive the world to be whatever they wish it to be. So, that being said, here comes logic. When someone says something is logical, isn’t that really stating...

"This is merely a line of thinking that has yet to be beaten, or surpassed, by a superior line of thinking, thus we believe this to be infallible, or logical."

So maybe the definition should be changed to:

Logic – That which is attributed to a certain idea or thought, that has yet to be beaten by a superior line of thought.

Because think about it. When someone states, “It sounded good at the time” aren’t they really stating: “As far as I could tell at the time it seemed very logical, as no superior idea had beaten it, though now looking back – and in light of this new line of thinking – I realize my idea of thought wasn’t the best.”

Isn’t that why people are insane? Aren’t they merely refusing the accept a superior line of thought that defeats their own?

Just a thought.
