Irrational Thinking

We often discuss how to use your rational thinking. Logic is a very useful constraint to not live in a fallacy. Our XXI Century mind's has been shaped by this.

What we never discuss is what logic constraints out of our vision. Logic discards and disregards lots of useless and moronic conclussions. But, as a normal distribution goes, it also leaves out important stuff.

I believe as humans we are limited by our brains. About six months ago I was speaking to a friend about Nietzche's works. I was reading it out loud. At 3 am it didn't make sense at all.

But I remember a moment of realization that made this night worth it:

We are percieving only what our senses allow us to percieve.

If you percieve separation, that doesn't mean it's there. If you percieve color, that doesn't mean it's there. It's light, it's space. We are just a collection of atoms running around a rock. Do you think it is so impossible for us to not percieve reality as it fully and truly is?

Now, I don't say logic and science are useless. They are just not entuned to surpass what humans can accomplish. Imagine new possibilities.

We don't have to be constrained by our ape minds. Because we have a consciousness and a body. Both more capable than human comprehension.
