Is logic just emotion in disguise?

[enchanted]

O'Conner brings up two good points here. 

1 we feel emotional about our logical conclusions

2 actions don't have truth value, since propositions are actions, can they have truth value?

Logic/ truth is a fictional fairytake

[Joseph Maynor]

Logic, especially mathematics, or an analogy from these in the medium of writing, seems to be the key influence for the rationalist paradigm.

It could be beauty, too. We get attached to beauty.

We get attached to being not attached too.

Yes. We associate ourselves w/ personality traits, and material things, ideas we have about ourselves, etc.,

Theres many things you can mean or invoke when speaking of emotion, not to mention, you can talk about emotions logically, giving rise to the mechanism of those emotions, which may make it appear as "logic underneath of it'.

Your ability to make logical sense is however one part of a system, and emotions are there to serve that system, which you might assume is one logical system, but that is assuming its logical. Theres no reason to refer to everything as logical in that way. It cancels out the meaning of logic when you make such conflations, cause its no longer \*functioning to highlight that aspect of the underlying metamorphic system pointed to... The morphogene system is both a detailed, PLUS a broader layered system, and we can speak about it in language, using a more "descript / detailed" method, or we can be broad, And typically we like to speak in the broader layer ofspeech. For that reason, unless you have experienced that detailed layer in such a way, you dont want to take logic to be the catch-all... Like, it is revealing something to the audience about your level of awareness, which is to say then, emotions play just as much of a part as logic does, in the same way "perception" is a large part of "reality, experience".

Or in other words, the function of "emotion" is just as important as the function of logic, and the way you portray that morphogenic system is just as important as the underlying *definition that governs it.

He's 27 but does it really matter? Some of the founding fathers were in their early 20s and wrote more beautiful and profound things than most people of any age.
