Logic might be the greatest hallucination
believe this logical bias might be the source of the “computational stance.” We are biased toward explaining the world with logic and computations because this is the only way that the brain can make sense of reality. Logic itself might be the greatest hallucination. Perlovsky points out that Aristotle, who invented formal logic, did not use logic in his theory of the mind. For Aristotle, forms are dynamic entities that evolve from vague states to crisp states in the process of “mind meeting matter.” Today, as we have discussed, we call this matching top-down and bottom-up signals.
