Wow….your using the matrix as an analogy for inductive and deductive reasoning is very interesting. While I’m not religious–in the KJV it says that there is only “one” way of thought which is truth; no in-between, if’s or maybe’s in the long or short run.
I maintain that parents and caregivers are responsible in telling children this truth that there is only one truth.

[...] I’m still going to be posting regularly, just not as much. And maybe with more short posts (which for me means less than 1,000 words). And maybe being a little less thorough (I actually rented the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies as research for The Inductive Oracle, The Deductive Merovingian). [...]

Very interesting post! I had seen all that in my Logic course, two years ago, and this was a great reminder. Somehow, you even made me miss my former High School mathematics classes, although I was not the biggest fan. In fact, I realize that, when properly explained and understood (and mixed with elements of the Matrix), it can be a lot of fun.

Regarding the purpose of this post, I am tempted to propose, inductively, that you wrote it to have comments as a feed-back (and, extensively, to witness how many persons would go through all of it). Thank you!

@ Jamie, you get major credit for sticking through it though!

@ Peter, yes, that works as the point of the post (though there are other possible answers). We should be aware that someone may prefer a different kind of reasoning from us, but that doesn’t make them illogical. Deductive reasoning is great, but it has its limitations.

I hadn’t thought about the difference between men’s and women’s reasoning, but that’s interesting. I’ll have to ponder that.

@ Mark, thanks for the wow!

Love the Yin Yang pic (of course). The point of this post, is to understand the different kind of reasoning we may prefer. We all have a preference for the type of logic we like to use, and sometimes, it’s best to understand that people think differently. If you are a logic person (a fan of deductive reasoning), then you may be stumped by others who live their live based on what they discover (Inductive).

I tend to believe that this is the biggest difference b/t men & woman. Men are very deductive, and woman tend to be a mix of inductive/abductive, at least the ones I interact with. My wife is always trying to discover things without having any hint of proof. As soon as I use my deductive reasoning to counter her, she turns to abductive reasoning making up why this has to be true.

Great post. I may even watch the Matrix Trilogy again.

Wow, Hunter. Just wow.

A lot of that was over my head, but of the parts I did ‘get’, I was fascinated.

I’m not sure where to start with the comment, so I’ll just repeat… Wow!
