One example of (rational) illogical thinking is gambling. Another one is speeding and tailgating both known to be regular causes of car crashes. In gambling our logical thinking states that the odds are way against us. Yet, because of the excitement at the possibility of winning, even are remote as it might be, we go on and place our bet anyway. In driving, speeding above the speed limit does very little in the objective we place on the activity: saving time. Speeding is only on segments of a road. It can only be done on specific sections of a street, road or highway. Yet, what matters is the total time used in getting to our destination. Passing other vehicles just wastes a lot of fuel for the number of feet gained in distance. A traffic control device, traffic, or single lane exit will usually cancel any time "gained." A steady cruise speed at or below the speed limit will assure the least amount of fuel used. Any increase above the speed limit, usually 5 or 10 mph, gains seconds or parts of seconds per mile. It is illogical to think that speeding gains time.

Is there any such thing as illogical?
Yes, illogical refers to reasoning or actions that lack coherence or fail to follow established principles of logic. It often manifests in contradictions, fallacies, or conclusions that do not align with the premises provided.

Does seligmans theory look at just one piece of evidence in order to dispute your illogical beliefs?
Seligman's theory of learned helplessness and cognitive behavioral therapy emphasizes the importance of examining multiple pieces of evidence to challenge and dispute illogical beliefs. Rather than relying on a single piece of evidence, it encourages individuals to analyze various experiences and viewpoints to gain a more balanced perspective. This approach fosters resilience and helps identify patterns of thinking that may contribute to negative emotions or behaviors. Ultimately, the goal is to cultivate a more rational and empowering mindset.

How does illogical thinking interfere with critical thinking?
If by critical thinking you mean rational thinking, then illogical thinking is it's opposite and excludes it of necessity. If instead you simply mean "thinking that is effective", then illogical thinking interferes only insofar as rational thinking is effective. Our society holds up rational analysis as an ideal, but in some situations intuitive, seemingly illogical thought produces better results. Critical thinking is sequential. Each stage or step of the thought process must be analyzed and found to be correct before moving on to the next step and the next step. And so on toward a purposeful end. This is a structured process. For example: "If A then B, if B then C, if C then D." If each step is reasoned and correct then also: "if A then D follows." Illogical thinking would interfere with the sequence somewhere, interfering and breaking the chain. For example: "If A then B, if B then K, if C then D." There's no link from B to C, interfering with the sequence.
