Logic

A session on Memory Training is on.

What is your date of birth?

22nd January, 1987.

You were born on a Thursday.

The hall reverberates with applause. Later in the hotel room, I ask my fellow trainer,

โ€œWhy do you need to pull ribbons out of a hat? We are training the students to improve memory with scientific methods.โ€

โ€œThe students know everything about reason and logic.โ€

โ€œThen why is the drama needed?โ€

โ€œThey need the placebo of something larger than reason, to make them believe that the normal works.โ€

Only in the land of miracles can logic prevailโ€ฆ
