Reasonable Logic

In the story the author talks about the world being facts and that the facts determine what is the case and what is not he case which seemed to me as kind of confusing but I think it meant that the world is full of everything we think we know. It also talked about anything that happened did not happen accidentally, but that it happened because it was going to happen already which I do not believe in because I think that we have free will and that we can change things that happen to us. If an object is known then we should know all the possibilities that the object can do if it is an atomic fact and that sounds impossible because we are always finding out new things from our current objects.

It said that the events of the future can not be discovered in the present and that superstition is a belief in a casual nexus which I think means that it is not reasonable to think that the future can be determine by seeing something that is not there. Then it talks about truth and all the possibilities that it has so that it is possible to get the truth but out of so many odds which it think is true because it is hard to find the true in a big world that is full of many other false things. The way that he described logic was hard to understand because it was neither this side nor that side and that got me to wonder then what is logic suppose to be so I thought that logic is both complicated but also simple.
