Logic Correction

Modern word processors usually contain a spelling checker.  Microsoft Word, for example, can suggest
spelling changes in multiple languages.  At some point in time word processors will (or should, at least)
offer logic checking whereby it catches the writer when she makes illogical statements.  

It is often common for the human ego to think that "intelligence" is a property of human beings and this
is then assumed to mean that most human beings think and act in an intelligent manner most of the
time.  This is far from the truth.  The largest application of the rational part of the human mind is in
rationalizing what the emotions "tell" oneself to do.  That this is true may be seen if you simply interact
with humans and watch how their minds work.  Specific split brain experiments show that the left brain will
rationalize actions taken by the right brain in spite of not having any real knowledge as to why the right
brain acted as it did.

Drew Westin is a psychology professor at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia.  He states that "the
political brain is an emotional brain."  This implies two things.  First it tells us that the human mind is
more emotional than rational and second it tells us that humans often
forget or don't know that the
human mind is more emotional than rational.  If humans
already knew what Drew was saying, they
would simply laugh at his words as being obvious.

Theory of Human Intelligence: Intelligence in evolved creatures is an emergent property.  In humans,
intelligence is in the early stages of emerging.

Once such logic checkers are common, they will be available as part of search engines so that poor
logic on web sites may be pointed out.
