Beyond Logic – isn’t it obvious?
I know South India, I don’t know Greece. No amount of my logic is going to help me with knowing what I will see at a particular street in Greece, how a kid looks at her mother in that little house, what the cow is going to do with the fruit.
I need to see them and know that is what has been done. I can tell someone this is what you will see. But that is not because of logic. They are not continuous things to be known by extrapolation or filling up blanks. They are new things known and noted by observation. A certain amount of generalization maybe possible after observing enough about that particular set of things which can be almost always generalized.
It is not such a surprise that logic is not the tool all the time. When knowing oneself more or seeing a new place are similar that way.
