Agreed. People use their minds to project knowledge where there is none, which means mystery not certainty. This offends the human ego, to have to accept what we do not know, but it is also the beginning of wisdom.

I tend to see "rationalism" itself as a problem. This says basically that if we can think something, and it is internally consistent or derived from a precedent, it must be true.

Actual wisdom and science come from testing things against reality and where they cannot be tested, designing theoretical models according to Occam and Kantian architectonic reasoning.

Realists and consequentialists are interested in effects in reality. We are less concerned with what might be, might not be, or can be computer modeled by reducing the number of measurable factors.
