The laws of logic are believed to be the basis of rational thought. But what grounds logic itself? Surely logic cannot be grounded in logic, for that would be circular reasoning, and therefore illogical. Yale Professor Jacob McNulty argues there is no logical foundation for logic. Instead we should look to Hegel for a solution to this dilemma, according to which logic is derived from metaphysics.

Let me break this down. The physical time the planet rotates each time is 3 minutes and 56 seconds less than the intellectual 24/7 space time continuum is defined by humanity since dawn of civilization started corrupting evey great great grandchild lived since conception replacing its specific 30 ancestors lived previous 4 generations as their 16 great great grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 4 grandparents, 2 creating the conception of each great great grandchild in the whole populaiton living daily here.
Series parallel time the fifth generation gap added develops into the next 2 parenting generation of 5th generation gap added as the original 16 great great grandparents died off after been 1 of 2 parents of the following 4 generations carrying their chromosomes in inverted proportions of thermodynamic use of periodic elements sustaining forms shaped universally here now as norganic universal positions and ancestral displacements inhabiting with the specificity of eacy existing at the same time never same total sum twice, now
Seems perfectly self evident to me that the principles of logic, the laws of physics, and mathematics itself exist independently of the human brain, in what might be called a metaphysical, Platonic, or ontological reality.Logic is nothing without metaphysics

This would be so cool if ANYONE on here could explain it using their own words.
But they can't. And they won't. Because that's not the point of these posts.

Impressive word salad. Now explain it.
You have a natural habit of writing poorly framed, ill-defined, nebulous questions.
My post touched on a number of things. What is "it"?

If you can't explain your position then we'll leave it there.
There's nothing unclear about the opinion I wrote
"Seems perfectly self evident to me that the principles of logic, the laws of physics, and mathematics itself exist independently of the human brain"
Unless you are a third grader, no further explanation or elaboration is needed.

In a nutshell, metaphysics is nothing more than debating the nature of the universe and subsets of that subject, like say for example, freewill or the existence of God.

LOL. Yes there is. But your inability to explain it was all I was looking for. Now I have confirmation. Thanks for that.

Here on JPP Metaphysics is the word people use for mushed up imagination without form or content. When someone can't explain something they call it "metaphysics" here on JPP.
Explain what? What is "it"? Being able to write and frame good, focused questions is a hallmark of a higher education.
How does logic exist without humans?

Agree. And whether God and free will are actually determinate objects.

Cause and effect is a logical system that was a fundamental underlying first principle of this universe long before humans showed up.
You know this how?
I think the logical principles of determinism and cause and effect were valid in this universe long before humans were around.
No, I don't have a camera, a video, a time machine to prove it. I believe it based on inference
So, belief with no evidence.
