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.
