Thoughts... I expect people to answer their thoughts.
Neil generalized how one's ability to utilize mathematics would equate to how logical they are, and Richard nodded and just worked with it.
I would have disagreed with him cause the brain is a super computer and it's believed to do 38 thousand trillion calculations per second. Not everyone is good at Math, but they'll excel at other things, and they'll perform countless logical decisions throughout their lifetime.
Quantum computing developer Seth Lloyd suggests how we don't need to understand how things even work to make something great and functional. I believe that.
In the 1960's Peter Higgs had a theory had a theory on the God particle. Long story short they built the LHC and they did indeed discover the God particle, before naming it the Higgs Boson. How peter burst out in tears.
The best of what we do is done with emotion. It's stands out in art. Things that are made for quick profit don't have the same quality as something that was made with emotion. Even when it comes to chaos, it's more chaotic when emotion is applied. As long as someone is stable seperating logic from emotion isn't how we're made.
Neil considers himself a logical man, but even he displayed a bad temper trying to share his logic in the midst of a staged debate. His aggression alone was enough for his argument to be over looked, so for his sake the emotion was logical enough.
Math is logic extended, there's no two ways around that no matter how much you want to pretend to be justified in your ignorance or stupidity of the subject. Nor does it matter how you choose to convert the relativistic nature of our brain into a binary turning machine in order to compare it to a computer, it's still the same rational logical steps provided and enforced by nature.
