Well, you were taught logical thinking, formally or not. Or maybe you're a genius and you reinvented it all by yourself.
I don't think our definitions of "logical thinking" match. I definitely was not "taught" logical thinking unless by logical thinking you mean things like "what is a Taylor series" or "what is long division".
Either way, you can start off from a very small set of logical axioms which you can accept as "obviously" true, then work your way up from there towards statistics and other ways to interpret and analyze reality.
I kind of get it but my logic could still very well be illogical. For example I believe a micro-scale self-contradiction can cause a system to be
less self-contradicting on a macro scale, and vice versa. But this is all just masturbation of course.
If that's the way the world is, you have to accept it and go on from there.
What if it's not? If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
I'm not sure I understand. But I'm pretty sure it's not mutually exclusive to accepting that most things and people are wrong.
Oh, to clarify, I don't like to differentiate from the outside world. As a kid I used to have a strong independent ego, but now it has sort of melted and dissolved. I like agreeing with people, I like "being one" with the world. But that could be the wrong way to think.
