Here are two of them; one below on logic and this one on logic and AIDS

"Logic is the capacity to reason, to think lucidly, to separate what is sensible from what isn't. Logic enables one to discover deception and avoid.being.influenced by it. Logic provides keys to effective.functioning in society, to remain free and independent from the shifting opinions negatively affecting so many. With logic one is choosing reason over vacuous.mindlessness.

Jon Rappoport on lack of logic and how it weaponizes education.

"In order to.cut a swath through the darkness of confusion, logic is necessary.

"Logic is educational when the intellect gets challenged. Debate, science and law all flow from logic. Education can create ignorance when logic is left off with.

"Logic is key by which true political discourse, science and law were originally developed. Logic and reasoning involves the capacity to think and analyze.ideas. Serious discourse depends on the use of reason. Reason operates with logic. 

"Logic is the connective tissue which binds together the progression of ideas in rational argument. Independence is engendered by the study of logic, a study which increases one's power of mind. 

"The classroom, at best, has taken on the appearance of a fact-memorization factory and we should express grave.doubts about the relevance and truth of information presented as facts for student acceptance without support by rigorous.analysis and severe questioning.

"A society filled with people who float in the drift of non-logic is a society that declines.

"Students of logic are in it to discover the architecture of reasoning. The low level of overall literacy in our schools is being matched by students unable to effectively work with rational thought."
