<< Intuition - immediate apprehension or cognition b : knowledge or conviction gained by intuition c : the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference
Logic - a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration : the science of the formal principles of reasoning
I think we call the above "logic" instead of "intuition" because for some reason intuition seems to have a bad connotation while logic has a good connotation, when they both are neutral.

Funny you mentioned intuition. I did speak about it in Elledan's last thread on "Illogical....", but no one was curious enough to further discussed it as if it signified "a bad connotation." Does anyone have a clue as to where logic is localized in the brain?
Well here it is between two hemispheres broken down by left side and right side:
1. The upper (cerebral) left A analytical, mathematical, technical and problem solving.
2. The lower (limbic) left B controlled, conservative, planned, organised and administrative in nature.
3. The lower (limbic) right C interpersonal, emotional, musical, spiritual and the "talker" modes.
4. Upper (cerebral) right D imaginative, synthesising, artistic, holistic and conceptual modes.
Generally, 1 and 2 is logic while 3 and 4 is intuition. Now, a person can have a dominant side [Logic] and an auxillary side [Intuitive] or vice versa. A person who shows no near-dominance for either is (lack of a better word) an ambidextrous processor.
Now, let's get to the hands cross-linked with the hemispheres: left hand => right brain and right hand => left brain. One's handedness will fall under four principles of cerebral dominance:
1. 97% of Right-Handed people are Left-brained.
2. 3% of Right-Handed people are Right-brained.
3. 60% of Left-Handed people are Left-brained.
4. 40$ of Left-Handed people are Right-brained.
Doesn't look good, does it? But keep in mind this is not exact statistical analysis of all ethnicities. Just a template.
<< If it were my intention to mock, I would have named names. At the most, I was venting a bit about all the people who cry "logic, logic", but don't have a clue.
I make no claim to being logical. As with beauty, I know it when I see it but do not possess it myself.

Heheh... Confession as such from a man (I"m assuming you are one ) who studies logic has more wisdom than one who doesn't.. And beauty is everywhere.. In sciences, in mysticism, in people, in your hands, your eyes, your feet... Admiring Luvly's intellect.
Beauty without logic:
So the issue with logic is not the applications per say as a science when it comes to human beings ~ but psychological objectivity? I see that Logic cannot exist without Intuition. Anyone who has studied Tao or eastern mysticism knows the Yin cannot be complete without the Yang. This is the basis of wholistic processing of both mind [logos] and the heart [mala] into everyday life. The moments become infused with the wholeness of awareness. The person no longer conceives or fettered from the intellect, nor iso one consumed by emotional impulses ~ but absorbs the textures of existence. For every word drawn from one's lips is born without any prethought.. One is free from *objectivity*.
As for claims being a logician, Elledan is sure trying very hard to become a Vulcan. He's more obsessed with logic than you, I suppose.

<< It doesn?t take Sherlock Holmes to solve this one?
I do owe you somewhat of an apology, though. I would like to point out that the initial reason I thought you were being arrogant was that you told killface ?I guess you have to be a part of the usual Moonbeam-linuxboy-palek-petrek-skylark-Athanasius-Elledan-bunch of other people chain to get more out of it than you did.? I took this to mean that only your special clique of friends was smart enough to understand your story, which is how killface may have interpreted it as well, since they haven?t been back. I now take this to mean that they would understand it more since it was about them. >>
did someone call my name? Oh, right. My name is Skylark of Borg, No. 0000000. Would you like to be assimilated and be one with the Zero? Anyways, whatever you thought was terse was really harmless ~ just like your first response to MB.
