Blindly Following Guided Logic Does Not Always Add Up!

Tis the season to be folly.

In the great midst of the presidential race underway, it’s a wonderful time to notice how those that now how to control attention and thought are very skilled at being able to reach their own end points. I laugh when I hear people say that “it defies logic,” because logic is only a tool to get to a location that one already intended.

Truth and politics are rarely on the same side. The truth is offensive, disturbing, and fear inducing because intuitively we know that it is out of our control. Politics is humanity’s construct to give us the illusion of control. Weak minds are the politician’s realm to use that fertile ground to create ideas, to create fears, to create logic and influence the group mentality. Most people are 100% convinced they have free will, yet fail to see beyond the fact that they rarely (if ever) have the capacity to be able to think beyond the environment they live in or the scraps of carefully selected information fed to them via news, entertainment, and societal norms of what is acceptable and unacceptable.

But wait a second you think, that applies to “those people” the ignorant, biased, group mentality, certainly not me, I’m educated and an “out of the box thinker”. Of course you are. You have a valuable collection of knowledge. Yet, wisdom is born out of knowing what you do not know. How do you figure out that which you are blind too? Everyone is to a certain degree, yet few ever dive into exploring that which is outside of their comfort zone.

How do you blind yourself to the truth?

Here, in mathematical terms, is an example of what happens when we blind ourselves to the truth.

Assume a = b
then a2 = ab
and a2 – b2 = ab – b2
and (a + b)(a – b) = b(a – b)
then (a + b) = b
or a + a = a
or 2a = a
or 2 = 1
