Perception: The Roadblock To Logic And Critical Thinking
By Dorraine Fisher
I’m out to prove that logic and critical thinking are the biggest ruses ever perpetuated onto the human race. Or at least to make people think about them a little bit deeper and question what these terms are really suggesting. Until we all turn into Vulcans like Mr. Spock from Star Trek and can stoically and methodically analyze our own thoughts, we need to scrap these ideas entirely.

According to Merriam-Webster, logic is a science that deals with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration: the science of the formal principles of reasoning.

I’ve always found this definition troublesome because it doesn’t clarify where these “formal principles of reasoning” come from. It doesn’t allow for the inevitable personal perceptions of the one who is attempting to be “reasonable.” Every single person you talk to believes they’re being reasonable or logical, but it’s based on their own perceptions of what reasonable and logical mean to them personally.  And it’s based on their personal perceptions of the subject they’re attempting to be logical about.

Are We Being Unfair To Flat-Earthers? Taking A Closer Look At How We Perceive The “Truth”

By Dorraine Fisher


Did we as a society create the flat-earth theory? Maybe.

I can see it now. People reading this headline and instantly thinking that Dorraine Fisher and The Crypto Crew advocate for the Flat Earth Theory. But although we believe in the possibilities of many things as purveyors of cryptozoology and the paranormal, we are not purveyors of Flat-Earth Theory. But it’s a topic worth exploring, and I’ll tell you why. Flat Earth Theory is a catalyst for a conversation that needs to take place that really has nothing to do with the earth being flat. Or maybe it does. I guess you can decide. But this is just a world of ideas and we’re all caught up in the storm of them all.

Conscious reality is not formed around or outside us. It’s formed within us. We create it ourselves by virtue of our perceptions or how we think about it. Yes, it’s true. So, the next time you’re complaining about how the world is screwing you over, remember that’s actually the reality you’re creating for yourself. You think it, therefore it happens.

And it’s interesting how people think that THEIR version of reality is the real one. And that other people are just not able to see it. And then, on the other hand, in the paranormal world, when people see things that aren’t supposed to exist, other people just tell them they’re hallucinating and what they saw wasn’t real. It can cause a lot of discourse between the groups who believe themselves to be the intelligent ones and the ones on the opposite that some try to say are the the less intelligent ones. They did, after all, see something that wasn’t real. Or did they? Given advances in neuroscience and physics, the lines between real and unreal are being seriously blurred.
