I am writing a short story where a journalist goes to an insane asylum to interview an ex-philosopher who turned 'crazy' after trying too hard to make sense of a universe that offers no answers. The main theme is: nobody is crazy as we cannot define crazy as their are no certainties (subjectivism). Therefore, I need to depict the journalist as a 'lover for logic' and someone who believes he has everything worked out to the extent that when he is confronted by the philosopher it prompts him to have an extreme crisis. The problem is, I'm struggling to mould this character, I need help thinking of ways in which I can illustrate that this journalist is a lover for logic and believes in absolute truth's. Suggestions much appreciated.

He can't understand that which is foreign to him and believes he can make sense in everything. He always asks 'why' which is a pointless endeavour in the postmodern era. He believes there are still certainties and is very much behind the times; a staunch conservative.
can't find a real girl
sleeps with lady logic
pretty much like boethius whose lady was philosophy since no other lady was allowed to him in the prison
No respectable news organization would pay a reporter for that story.
So he's a grown-up journalist with the mind of a 17 year old sperg?
He was a really prominent philosopher who is now in an asylum. Would people wanna see an interview with Nietzche if he was admitted to an asylum?
This was a commonplace paradigm in the pre-ww2 era
No one cared about Nietzsche
Also thinks in line with Hegelianism.
