What exactly is the "Logical Mind"?

We say it all the time: Be logical! Think logically! Use your mind! Let’s think the problem! Let’s use reason!

But what does that mean, exactly, more than common sense?

I asked myself the same question, and I’ve identified 9 components of The Logical Mind:

1. Self understanding and self control

2. Action or acceptance, not frustration

3. Formal logic

4. Logic as an universal skill

5. The scientific method

6. Divide and conquer

7. Training and simulation

8. Nietzsche and the warrior in the garden

9. Cognitive biases

10. Working with the limits of logic. Logic is great at everything other than convincing people.
