You can actually prove logic.
Quoting: Face Palmer Obviously, you have never read Karl Popper.

No, never heard of him? I will look him up, I love stuff like this. Which book you mean exactly?
Can't remember the title.
His ultimate conclusion: "The fundamental assumptions of any definitional system cannot be proven", or something to that effect.
The argument goes "If...then".
The "if" cannot be proven. It is assumed to be a given.
A radical over-simplification; but that's the gist.
Logic has to do with the fundamental structures of the consciousness of the 'thinker'.
But there are other approaches to reality; for example, poetry.
Poetry can never be proven.
Poetry approaches the issue of truth from a completely different perspective.
"The moon was a ghostly galleon, tossed upon cloudy seas" is, for example, a truth; but it cannot be proven, nevertheless.
