On Logic

Much of this blog is based on logic and rationale. As of now, I am going to assume that this is a fair method of argument, perhaps the most pure that we know of today. Of course, even things such as simple logic may one day be disproved. Even something as simple as an "if, then" clause may indeed be false, no matter how intuitive it seems. Logic, of course, has allowed us to derive the entire study of mathematics as well as all of its emergent counterparts. And we do have much reason to put faith in logic, for when we build bridges that are mathematically designed, they stay up, and with enough calculations, we can even predict the motion of the stars. Logic as of now has yet to fail us (disregarding quantum mechanics, perhaps?). However, as pure and golden as logic may seem, we can never truly prove that it will always hold. Hopefully though, for the time being, I can reasonably assume that logic is a good basis for argument. Again, if anyone disagrees with this, then he or she is more than welcome to disagree with anything else I may have to say, and the disagreement will be reasonable. I will try my best to, at the beginning of each entry that presents an argument, note all of the assumptions I am using, such that with hope any disagreements with my conclusions can be traced back to disagreements with my initial assumptions.
With those words of caution, let us proceed!
