The "I'm-a-man-screw-logic" principle

I have stumbled upon the reason for the sorry state our world is in. It is actually quite simple: Stupidity... Or in a more diplomatic phrase: the I'm-a-man-screw-logic principle.

I made this amazing discovery while gardening. Yes, he gardening where you get dirt under your nails and the smell of earth on your body. (it takes for ever to recover...). We were supposed to simply gather a bunch of garden rubble and relocate it. Logically, it would be more effective to gather each stick into a new pile that you have organised specifically to carry it around. LOGICALLY. Or you could take the alternative route and simply pick up the pile, losing half of it on the way to the new place and having to clean up afterwords, doubling the work. But you look big while doing it, and you're a man, so why bother with logic?



During the time it took for my simple mind to puzzle this out, another thought occurred to me. Would we still have was if logic was part of the equation? Would there still be inequality if logic was being used? Would people discriminate against others if logic was involved?

I myself am an extremely emotional person and am also the first to admit that I say and do extremely stupid things in the heat of the moment. That "heat of the moment" is a euphemism we humans use to say "while I wasn't thinking", basically saying " I was stupid". What obviously creates the problem here is natural emotion and instinct, which we cannot fight.

Thus in conclusion it is extremely simple. We are the cause of the world's problems. Without changing something elementary "human" about ourselves, which is impossible, we cannot stop it. We will always practice the I'm-a-man-screw-logic principle.

Peace
