>>16717497To deduce anything, logic is certainly required. However, there must be a subject for the logic to be applied to (which certainly implies logic is a coherent ~thing~), and that subject is derived from experience.
For example, if we are to discuss the dimensions of a glass jug, all involved MUST have, at some point, whether in real life, on television or some other medium, actually experienced what a glass jar looks like.
As for god, consider your bear. Imagine I have never heard of a bear, and i meet one in the wild. I will not recognise what i experience, but I can easily describe its black fur, hoarse roar and large, fat body to some locals who will know what I'm talking about, and can inform me that was, in fact, what we call a bear. But if I meet another like me, who has experienced the bear but cannot name it, we can still understand each other, as by describing it will match that of the other. Therefore foreknowledge is not fundamental to experience, indeed it is the other way around.
Memes and inherited ideas certainly exist, for as we are born with personalities that colour our actions all throughout life, so too do we acquire external modes of action, that can and do change through age.
Back to the bear, I would like to know why you think Fight, Flight or Freeze would be the only reaction to occur in one uninformed on bears.
Consider this; From where did Newton inherit the idea that apples fall for a reason if not from his direct experiences, to which he then applied his great mind?
