That subjective experience has challenges of it's own. It's harder to challenge perception when you refuse to look at the world differently. That isn't to say that there isn't value in having beliefs because there must be personal value in the world as experienced through them, but at the same time, there's clearly a lot less to be understood when you're willing to deny a whole lot, refuse to see differently.
I have a natural tendency to think logically, through having AS, in that what I associate doesn't automatically imply another association - ie. I run like DOS. My thoughts were that subjective reasoning must have a different system of thinkiing. I was right about that. Mostly the reasoning is inductive. My deductive reason doesn't sustain that belief satisfactorily. In short, my head rules my heart.
