drawing lines between logic and not

I grew up in a scientific environment; being in science stream in high school and majored engineering/technology. And I guess LOGIC is one of the culture in science. Very static at times, for example, 1+1=2 (and not 3 or 4 or whatever. any other opinions?).

I was at Ikebukuro station, waiting for a friend in front of the ticket gates. There were at least 8 LCDs screens for commercials and short news in front of the gates, about 50cm X 100cm. I'm not sure how power saving is LCD screens but down the screens were plates saying "switched on at 50% brightness for power saving". And I was like, "hhmm isn't more power saving if you switch off the screens?".

Everyone is busy going in and out the gates, and I wonder how many really stop and look at the commercials and short news. Maybe me, since I stopped and looked at one of the screens? Even so, I'm sure there are other ways to send news or commercials.

Not only these screens, but also the vending machines and many other stuff, which are a little bit too abundant to (some) society.

But yes, we have to admit, that humans are not really smart all the time. Feelings come into place. Pride comes into place. Connections and networks comes into place. In short, human prefer to see the illogical side of many things in life (just to please themselves?).

And this is the side that I think I need to learn (or should I say, take in as a habit) a little bit more. And be less logical? hhhmm I should think about my wishes before I make them.
