Questology Quotes

“The alliance of character and rationality is a serious question. The alliance involves both agents. The character is needed because logic will give you the structure, but will never tell you what should be inserted in it. The character is necessary because logic will tell you what is missing, but will not add anything new. The character is needed because logic will show you the optimal process of making things done without ever introducing how to make things done better. Logic will criticise everything, but never create anything. Logic alone is the tool to judge, plan or think, but it is invisible. Logic cares about your sentiments as the fork cares about your taste.”

“The worst thing about logic - it is not democratic. Logic wears an autocratic mask. No compromises are made there for things are binary. Only intellectual standards democratise it to make it human. That is why you joined rationality with character. Rationality is autocratic - what is wrong does not live for long. Wrong facts, theories, and conclusions die - useless to apply in spite of their unlimited supply.”

“This is the standard to determine the excellence, not the comparison to existing options. Knowing the standard, imagine two situations. Starting with 123 dishes to pick for dinner. Having no standard will lead you to compare option with option. But if it happens you have the standard, irrelevant alternatives go out of the game almost immediately. Options get compared to the standard, not other options. If options are not good enough to satisfy the standard, they get out.”
