Parallax of logic

Below is from Steve Hawk's blog.  Steve is a writer for the HBO original series John from Cincinnati.  The quote is attributed to David Milch, creator of JFC and the awesome but canceled Deadwood.  Milch was also a fraternity brother of George W. Bush at Yale until he was expelled (Milch, not Bush) for shooting out the siren of a cop car with a shot gun.


"The important point that I'm trying to make is that storytelling has nothing, whatsoever, to do with logic. Logic is a limping stepchild of the true processes of the spirit. It's an illusion. It's a defective little parlor trick. Associations are the way that we perceive. Electrical connections caused by the juxtapositions of experience. That's the way we are really built, and storytelling takes into account that truth."
