From where did you learn logic and how to reason? I need help.

>> No.7505943

Logic comes from trial and error, and your brain making connections from these patterns. If you step on a tack and get hurt, your brain will make a connection to not do it again. The more you repeat it, the more it will "make sense" not to do it.

hijacking your thread OP.

How do neurologists explain intuition and reasoning ?
Why does something "feel logically right" or "wrong", why do some things make sense ? What is convincing and what is not ?

what if my parents have never been to university but their son (me) is a computer science doctor? The parents dont seem to be "super intelligent", just normal, like every normie. can their son be smart? Or does he have to work more than the others to have his phd?

I think I picked up a lot of the real basics from logic puzzles and riddles as a kid. I remember having a huge book of those grid based ones, and they're actually pretty good for giving you an intuitive understanding of propositional logic.

Then mostly reading things, arguments and counterarguments, classic texts, thinking stuff through yourself.

Common sense: Don't say anything you can't prove and don't talk about things you haven't defined. That should do .

Because the proof is established upon prior given rules. If you've ever read a published proof, you'd see most of the article just regurgitates rules. It might be obvious, or intuitive, but axioms still need to be established so the people reading can know if the proof is logical. This is also an answer to >>7505951

Read up on formal logic. Reasoning is all about finding tendencies in systems, extracting those out into rules, and composing rules together

Well i learned logic and common sense by viewing what i do from a third person perspective. No clue if that helps in any way but it is how i learned it.
