There are two methods, one of the physical sciences and one of man. There is not more than one logic. To apply the method of the physical sciences to man is exceptionally unscientific. In the physical sciences: stones, molecules, planets, etc., do not have free will as the individual does. Only the individual thinks and acts. This does not mean “society” or the “collective” acts. They are each made up of acting individuals. Neither of those are an organism or individuals. It is the height of arrogance to think you can shape individuals.

Only the individual can act to bring about some condition in the immediate, near, or distant future. Now, these actions may not lead to what the individual desires, the future is uncertain, and man is not omniscient. Man can make errors. He must learn. This is not to say everyone will have the same action. Two people may have different actions or ideas under the same conditions.

There is only one method for the science of man and its categorically different from the physical sciences.
