illogical

The opposite of logical thinking is not illogical thinking.


Instead, see if you can point to one of the following alternative terms:

speculative thinking,
fantasy thinking,
analogical thinking,
divergent thinking,
lyrical thinking,
mythical thinking,
poetic thinking,
visual thinking,
symbolic thinking,
foolish thinking,
ambiguous thinking,
surreal thinking,
and others (inspired by Gary Davis).

Just like in medicine, when diagnosis is one of the most important steps to treat an illness, so is naming the thinking behind such courageous and “out-there” idea.

The more you do it, the better you become at it.

Enjoy your illogical thinking day.
