The world isn’t logical. Knowledge of one topic is often applied to other topics.
If I had to hire a C++ programmer, and there were two candidates who were tied for the position except that one of them knew everything about the Great War, you can bet I’d hire him instead of the other.
Not because I need anything at all related to the Great War, but it’d be nice if the person is able to relate the programming to something.
The Great War was an unforeseen consequence of many smaller locally logical events, almost like functions in code.
The programmer ought to be able to identify the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the code, so that the entire system doesn’t break down from killing one small insignificant process.
The world IS logical. Fascists are fascist because of racism, propaganda, narcissism — a multitude of causes that made them fascist. Insane people are insane due to something that made/makes them insane. There is logic in their reasons for being illogical.
An indication of poor logic somewhere is an indication of poor logic elsewhere, and it’s a spectrum. There’s a gargantuan chasm between someone mixing up dates vs being a flat earther. One indicates a singular momentary lapse in logic, which is common. The other indicates widespread corruption in logic; numerous logical failures, across a large range of time, and is reserved for people with extreme mental illness.
