If through reasoning you find that you can't trust your reasoning, then you can't trust that your reasoning of not trusting your reasoning is reasonable. It's a vicious cycle.

I guess it is a question of logic vs common sense.. .Someone using his logic over his intuition might think that its a good idea to make decision A,but his intuition calls him to make decision B,but for another person,his intuition could be decision A while his logic leans on decision B.. .The point is.. .wouldn't just be the same logic or intuition?.. .

The universe doesn't run according to man's arrogant "logic". Look around you: Would you trust it implicitly?
Intuition is the way forward.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Logic is blind and often knows only its own past. Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.
