The question of whether logic can be taught presupposes a shared understanding of what logic means, a presupposition that rarely holds. The term oscillates between epistemology, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, (and others) each framing it differently.
From a structural perspective, cognitive studies on children suggest that logical reasoning is not learned but innate. Even before linguistic competence develops, children can identify contradictions and operate on implicitly inferred relations. Logic thus appears as a preverbal ordering instinct, an orientation toward coherence that precedes semantic encoding. In this sense, logic is less a discipline than a condition of the possibility of knowledge, an elementary drive to impose order on perception.
This preliminary form is comparatively simple. The real difficulty begins when logic must be applied to complex, real-world systems — domains saturated by affective, energetic, and socio-psychological interferences. The operation of logic within such systems depends on far more than cognitive structure: it requires energetic and psychological stability.
Consider a deliberately extreme hypothesis, for instance, that the world as a whole is structurally based on deception. Formally, this is a binary claim, either true or false. But the actual process of testing it is not logical in the formal sense; it is existential. To verify or falsify such a proposition demands extraordinary psychological strength, since it destabilizes the human’s internal model of reality. Such questions are rejected by most, for they exceed the bounds of what their psyche can bear.
Beyond these affective limits lies what might be called the energetic barrier. Sustained critical reflection consumes psychic and physiological energy. To pursue deep revision of one’s accumulated worldview, often built over decades, while maintaining ordinary life demands (wage slavery, social obligations in a satanocratic system, sensory overload, withstanding informational warfare) is an energetically expensive task. Thinking is a metabolic act. When energetic reserves are depleted, cognition collapses into blackouts, distraction, or regression into collective narratives.
Further still are the cognitive barriers. Logical operation on higher-order abstraction chains requires exceptional working memory and the capacity to sustain multiple semantic frameworks without resolving them into premature closure, all while they soak you in fluoridated water etc. The difficulty is exponential, each additional order of abstraction multiplies the internal instability that must be managed. In this regard, Elista ranks among the most capable one can find.
Those who manage to penetrate these thresholds, what one might call recognizers or noticers, often have untypical life trajectories or formative disruptions. Such events do not necessarily enhance logic itself, but they expand energetic and psychological reserves. They decouple the individual from the stabilizing illusions of social normality. Within certain online circles, these individuals self-identify ironically as “autists,” not as a marker of deficit but of immunity to social simulation. The label functions as a rejection of the performative order that demands emotional conformity at the expense of cognition.
The process of genuine insight thus extends beyond mere intellectual activity in the conventional sense. It is a form of sustained neural coherence under pressure, the ability to maintain cognitive order while dismantling comforting illusions. Every deeper recognition destroys an earlier source of psychological stability.
