Reason is born from creativity.  Human dreams and fantasy make reason
possible. Wisdom, "by definition" doesn't satisfy mathematical
equations nor our complex philosophical arguments. If we apply our
minds like computer they will seem crippled. Humans can create (in the
creative sense).  Is creativity madness? By your definition we are
building upon our network of approximate truths, in many fields, and
in line with this, conventional wisdom is fantasy. By all accounts we
are still building and structuring our synthesis. If we assume that
this synthesis will be complete in some reasonable time, and will give
us all the answers and question, we know that future discoveries can
nullify or alter current approximate truths. In this sense rationalism
is striving towards a complete or absolute synthesis, and this can be
seen as dreaming, for if rationalism isn't aiming to answer all the
questions, what is it doing and if it is, why? If rationalism held all
the answers the blue pill would have made you happy. Rationalism is a
sitting duck without creative thoughts.
