Thanks to MineralMan...

I coughed up a word new to me.. it may already exist in the wild... but eh.

Alogical: the state of being without logic.

I'm thinking it could be useful, perhaps, in dealing with certain types.

to make it a state of being without something. The question is whether it would be illogical to do so. Is there anyone who is in a state of having no logic whatsoever who is not brain impared? I think the word that is reasonably logical would be "illogical" which would refer to a specific argument or arguments not the overall condition of a person. Of course you could always use the term as a joke or a metaphor.
