Comment: No, I am really not. Philosophy - from the Greek "philos' meaning love and "sophos" meaning "Wisdom", the love of wisdom - is literally the study of how to think straight.

If you haven't learned philosophy, you will never be able to form a logical thought. No, what people think they are doing isn't logic. Logic is a set of rules. To think logically you have to know those rules, and apply those rules (much like algebra is a set of rules you have to know and apply to get the right answer).

To think you can be logical without studying philosophy is like claiming you can do algebra without learning to count first. 

Here's how it works:
Philosophers figure out how to understand things.
Scientists use those techniques to understand a particular thing.
Engineers use that understanding to solve practical problems.

Unfortunately - because true logic is so often counter-intuitive, those not schooled in it tend to think actual logical arguments are "stupid" because their intuition says so.
