A sighted blind man cannot exist. He can only exist if he is logical.
The statement logically contradicts itself but the statement itself logically exists without contradiction, and what the statement refers to isn't illogical because it isn't anything, it doesn't exist because it, logically, can't.
My premise was: "For something to be itself is logical, for something to not be itself is illogical." - So why do you object to the soundness of that? How is it not logical for something to be itself? It is surely illogical for something to NOT be itself is it not?
Something can't illogically contradict itself, because that would mean it didn't actually contradict itself.... which means it would be itself which would be logical and not illogical.
A logical contradiction is, logically, a logical one - otherwise it's not a logical contradiction..... so when something doesn't make logical sense that doesn't actually mean it is illogical. Nothing is TRULY illogical.
If something is illogical it can't be itself.
