You Should Probably Study Rationality

Rationality is over priced. Some experiments indicate that people use rationality to explain things they did, for example under hypnosis they suggest you should open your umbrella at a party, then you do it and try to explain why.

In this case rationality is a false distortion of what is going on. Living and thinking is at a higher level that rationality. We can use computers, logic, maths and rules to improve our rational mind, but thinking is much more that rational thinking. Creativity and emotions play a vital role. Destroy emotions and you loose your memory (citation required), because memorizing is linked to attention and attention is linked to emotions and feeling.

As a mathematician I can prove a theorem and give a prove, but there is something creative in finding a proof. Sometimes our mind is a wonderful mind.
