I agree with the original post, and would also like to add that I think our culture places too much emphasis on logical and concrete understanding of our thoughts and actions. Of course, when presenting your arguments in a formal discussion, or writing a scientific journal, or something else of the sort, it's very important to appeal to logic (and objectivity also is a good thing in such cases). But in our daily lives, we falsely assume that we understand the causes for our actions, and our chain of thoughts. Our brains don't generally reason sequentially, and most of our reasoning has been shown to be done subconsciously, so why do we force a logical, sequential explanation on every decision we make? Why do we have to create elaborate justifications for our opinions, when it has clearly been shown that most opinions are not formed and maintained based on those justifications?
