Ever been in a relationship? There are a lot of problems you can’t just solve with rational thinking.

[jodrellblank]

Problems which can't be expressed as a ratio.

[bawolff]

So the real problems.

[mc3]

And complex ones.

[smnplk]

Are you saying all problems are imaginary ?

[mc3]

When you get to the root of them, yes.

[vorpalhex]

Emotional intelligence and empathy are still part of the mind.

[vanderZwan]

The original comment mentioned rational minds, which is relying on neither of those things.

[stonogo]

Rational was an adjective. If you think that "rationality" is some objective feature that humanity can separate from emotions, you are deluded.

[vanderZwan]

This reply somehow gets and misses what I was trying to get at.

No, of course I don't believe rationality is like that. The implicit point was that many people in tech do have an attitude like this. They overvalue their "objective" rational reasoning, ironically due to irrational needs.
