Hi Winfried

If you want the truth tables can give you some indication of your
cognitive capabilities it is worthwhile doing them, (just change At's
exclusive-or with if-and-only-if) but I doubt it can give you motivational
direction or movement. If you want that you will have to come to terms
with your goal directed behaviour motives and values and a good dose of
what you fear.

In terms of the word fundamental I fail to understand why that should be
arrogant. Fundamental does not mean essential (it can in some instances)
but I am talking about a foundation or more basic level of those questions
posed. Why don't you answer my questions for yourself and see if they are
more fundamental, if not discard them and use something else.

Whatever you associate with my statement is your assocaition not mine.

I am not puzzled at all, Truth tables and logic have very deep association
(see Gibson & Isaac, Truth table as a formal Device in the analysis of human
action, in Levels of Abstraction in Logic and Human Action)

Why don't you do the truth tables yourself and see if you can answer them.
That might give you some idea of how your logic is structured. Your goal
directed behavior I doubt that Truth table connectives cannot tell you
anything about motives. They are cognitive not motivational.

Good luck in your search for your truth
