Logic is a good partner, but a bad master. Logic locks you into your box, the box that contains everything you have already pre-nominated as relevant. To think outside the box, you must whimsically entertain ideas you have already rejected as irrelevant. Playing around with “nonsense” takes you down roads you wouldn’t have traveled and the wrong ideas lead to the right ideas, whereas starting with what you already know is right will tend to lead you in circles of endless, repetitive re-iterations.
