Inappropriate amplification of rationality standards leads to divorce from reality.
Rationality has many meanings like logical thinking, following rules, being efficient, and more. Each type of rationality has its limits. If we focus too much on one type, we might lose touch with reality. In real life, people use a mix of rationalities that are specific to the situation. The type of rationality we use depends on where we are, when it is, what's happening, and the culture we're in.
