edgar we need to clarify what is the meaning of reason...
as we all know...one and one doeth not always make 2.. honestly edgar you could no doubt reason your way out of a paper bag so to speak.. the point i see is that for reason to actually begin you have to have a situation..e.g 9/ll.. now we all know that the reason behind the attack or iraq was based on false reasoning...i knew from day 1! now the question remains edgar... how do you know that your reasoning is sound in the first place..so at the end of the day..reasoning is not all it is cracked up to be... it's a tool we can use and sometimes it can be misguided... in the human kitbag there are other tools. my favourite is intuition.. this tool never fails me as i have been practising and honing it for donkey's years.. coupled with reasoning it serves me nicely.. merle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason
