Yeah, but Why?

Have you ever played a game where no one really understood the rules? Maybe it was a new board game or a neighborhood sport where everyone kept arguing about what counted as fair. Without clear rules, the game becomes chaos. Now imagine life itself without rules—not just the rules we make, but the ones we discover, like gravity or how numbers work. Among the most mysterious of these are the rules of logic.

Logic is how we make sense of the world. It’s the framework that helps us think clearly and figure out what’s true. But here’s the puzzle: Where did logic come from? Did we invent it, like we invent board games? Or did we discover it, like explorers mapping a new land?

Some say logic is just there—like a brute fact, needing no explanation. But does that really make sense? "Just because," is not a good enough answer for me. Why do things like cause and effect make sense to us? Why does logic always seem to work, no matter the situation? We often take things like logic for granted, assuming it just “is” the way things are. But have you ever stopped to ask why?

Others think logic might have evolved through natural process. But can something as universal and unchanging as logic evolve? If evolution is all about change, how could it create rules that never bend? It’s like trying to grow a perfect diamond from shifting sand—it doesn’t work.

In this series, we’re going to dig deep into these questions. We’ll explore where logic, morality, and truth come from, and why it all matters. And spoiler alert: the answer isn’t found in the material stuff around us but in something—or someone—far greater.

So buckle up. This journey might just change how you see everything. (see next entry ->)
