Issue - Is logic fallible?

-if logic is fallible then how can we prove this?

-if logic is not fallible then how can we prove this?

-if logic is based on the evolution of our brains as an organizing function in a body replicating the universe and its laws of integrative order creating one whole.

-did the universe itself evolve from the simplest of laws, becoming more complex as it expanded, but still being an ordered whole?

-if the universe is an ordered whole made up of interactive laws that keep the universe operating as a consistent whole through time, then it stands to reason that logic, the conceptual replication via the human brain of the universal laws of the universe would be also universally consistent as a system of universal interactive laws.

-the problem happens when logic is used to prove that logic is not logical.

-if logic is not logical, in every instance, then we cannot trust logic to be logical, or capable of duplicating conceptually the universal interactive lows upon which the universe is based.

-yet the paradox is that if logic is not logical, and you use logic to prove that logic is not logical, are you not caught in a paradox?

-either logic is logical in all instances, the principles of Universality and Consistency, or it is not logical in all instances and therefore it is not logic!

-if you could prove that logic is not logical using logical logic, then you would be validating that logic is logical, since you have used its own power to prove that it is not all powerful. Right?

-that which can destroy itself is more powerful than that which is destroyed, since one has dominance over the other. Right?

-yet how can the destroyer be more powerful than the destroyed if the destroyer is the destroyed?

-conclusion: the destroyer is not the destroyed since the destroyer has
survived the destroyed. An entity cannot be the denial of itself as entity.

-therefore logic has to be logical for logic to exist as logical. The inherent nature of logic is logical. Therefore logic does not have fallacies. Logic is consistent and universal as a conceptual system of universal laws and principles that hold together to create one whole, logic itself.

-This is called Strephon’s Law Of Logical Inherency.

-Bertram Russel the philosopher-logician of the last century tried to destroy logic by naming an inherent fallacy of logic. If he could prove with logic that logic was not logical he could then demonstrate that logic is fallible and therefore not logical ultimately at all!

-the man who woke up one day and vowed to shave every man who did not shave himself that day.

-Thus the superiority of an entity is demonstrated by its ability to destroy itself. This is known as Strephon’s Second Law Of The Superiority Of Inherent Destructibility.

-For if an entity cannot destroy itself, it is clearly inferior to itself than if it could destroy itself. Right?
