When confronted with a situation where logic can argue both for, and against, both ultimate outcomes, it is generally helpful to remember one's goals. Though, as I recall you have none, I doubt any advice would be of help to you. I will not advise on a situation where logic is nonexistent; the exercise is both futile and unproductive.

Ah... what pointy ear guy 'aid. Or 'ust burn it if it's a baddie.

[schntgai]

I will give this suggestion all the consideration it is due.

[kittysdragon]

'hanks! Me 'hink. Me Lockheed, and who are 'ou?

[schntgai]

Mr Spock. Would you be familiar with Berengaria VII, Lockheed?

[kittysdragon]

Nice to meet yeh, Mis'ter Spock. 'fraid not, sorry. My lot 'end to live in space 'ince our 'lanet got in'vaded by the Brood.

Sometimes situations don't play by logic's rules. What do you do when you come across those?

[schntgai]

I would endeavor to find a new situation.

[kayeaton]

Well, that's convenient. We should all be so lucky.

[schntgai]

If a situation is illogical, logic should dictate it would be easy to escape. Even the whims of a madman poses its own logic. Luck has little to do with it.

[kayeaton]

What if the situation's illogical, but everyone calling the shots thinks it makes perfect sense?

[pervigilo]

The absence of goals alone doesn't remove logic from the equation. Although it's not like we can pretend we've got much say in the matter, unless you're one of the so-called muses that never shuts the fuck up.
And I'm disinclined to think you're the type.

[schntgai]

What data lead you to reach such an observation?

[pervigilo]

The succinct disdain for your mundane's more irrational behavior clued me in.

[schntgai]

I cannot say I disdain of anything. I simply disapprove.

[pervigilo]

So the logical conclusion is that my observation is legit, at least regarding the frequency at which you feel the need to bend your mundane's ear.

[anthropos]

I'm curious. Are you implying that you believe your writer to be completely incapable of logic, or does your assertion apply only to the present situation?

[schntgai]

Only to the present situation.

[anthropos]

Then I must disagree. In the act of voicing you as a muse, he or she has already displayed the proclivity for pursuing one's goals.

[schntgai]

That would be true, if the writing was in itself a goal. As it is not, and the hobby serves no higher purpose, I cannot offer my services in an advisory capacity.

[anthropos]

Curious. Is not the pursuit of a hobby synonymous with being human?

[avatar_amon]

Logic often clashes with the emotional nature of the people involved. Even when you think you have a grasp on people's behavior, it shifts out underneath you. Though I find your advice on goals to ring true.

I suppose this bit of introspection came from something your mun did?

[schntgai]

You suppose correctly.

When one factors emotional reactions into the outcome of a situation, it becomes difficult to be surprised by the depths of illogic reached.

[avatar_amon]

I am currently considered, on my planet, to be the one who must keep balance between four nations. I've learned logic has no helpful properties when dealing with more than two people. Illogic is the core of people's being, it seems.

[schntgai]

A regrettable state, but not one I am unfamiliar with.

[knight_2000]

No goals? How very sad.
