is logic an illusion?
>>
I'm not sure I know what "illusion" means in this context, since logic is abstract. Is the Fibonacci sequence an illusion?
>>

No, you dumbass.
>>
>>332582
It's pretty much as close to the opposite of illusion as you can come.

but can't logic deceive us like our senses? logic can still result in an incorrect conclusions.
>>
>>332829
Sure, but that doesn't mean it is false, just that it might be false
>>
>>332829
That's true. Garbage in, garbage out. By definition, though, true premises give you a true conclusion, with sound logic. As far as how you can be absolutely certain your logic is sound, that gets into some wild rabbit-holes of skepticism, but it generally seems pretty self-evident.

>>332829
Then the fault of logic is on people for not using properly.
>>
>>332829
Logic doesn't lie though. It just tells you what follows if your premises are true.
>>
>>332582

No but logic alone can't tell us any more than "I think therefore I am". Logic is a tool and depends on the assumptions you plug into it.

Well, if you find out that a certain outcome is illogical it only means that you dont know enough
