This is the only statement that Lee made that confounded me. At first I read it as "Belief that nothing can be proven is illogical" which flows from the assertion but then I read it correctly.... In my opinion associating any concept with another is illogical and that's what makes all human thought illogical. Believing in something that cannot be proven to exist is no different than going outside your door everyday and interacting with a world that may or may not be there. We technically cannot offer proof for anything we believe but we still believe it which is why I find the "objective rationalist" to be in an interesting situation. Some say faith is a crutch for simpletons but how pathetic is the man who interacts with a world that he cannot prove is? I dunno just some thoughts to consider.
Your right, technically I do not "believe" anything, but I cannot act on that heh.. belief :wink: so we act as though we believe it anyway.
