""" “My draw to the mystical and the witchy is a desire to understand the world through a lens different than what is advertised,” Stone says. “We give logic and the rational so much authority because it gives a certain kind of person—a well-educated, science-focused white man—authority, and we pretend that those are separate from feelings and the body. We're taught to dismiss other kinds of knowledge.” """ logic doesn't have authority because it gives a particular set of people authority. that argument doesn't make sense, though i suppose asking for a well formed logical from someone rejecting logic misses the point.

reason has authority where superstition doesn't because it produces better results. on average the person who uses reason will get more of what they want than the one who goes by gut feeling.
