“Touche, and correct. Do you agree most logic hounds do not want to examine that side of the coin? Sometimes I have to practically hurt myself to flip over to the logic side. Too much art and music can make you resistant to logic:)” – CB
No, I don’t agree. I do find many who for whatever reason(s) appear to be locked within their thought processes to the exclusion of much else. Different branches of science have differing theories about this. On the other ‘side’, for many, to stop what feels good and have to place a lot of attention upon cognition alone would obviously be unattractive too. So, it is no great mystery to me. I, like many, was rather balanced here most of my life. While I was a whiz at math and logics, I also did art and music, even to the symphony level. I had many musician friends who were also well versed in and greatly attracted to maths and logic. Of course, your question may have been rhetorical and, as a result, my analytical verbiage presented in a verbose manor might just make your point! : - ) On Nov 6, 12:32 pm, CrossBow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Touche, and correct.
