Nice quote

“For generations, scientists and philosophers have tried to explain ordinary reasoning in terms of logical principles with virtually no success. I suspect this enterprise failed because it was looking in the wrong direction: common sense works so well not because it is an approximation of logic; logic is only a small part of our great accumulation of different, useful ways to chain things together.” – prof. Marvin Lee Minsky, The Society of Mind (1987)
