A lot of the creative process doesn't require conscious
   rationalization. Sometimes it's good to be skeptical of rational
   thought, simply because of the lag time in the brain. We
   experience "what just happened" a moment ago with "what we
   expected to happen" a moment before that, compare the two and
   then come up with a story to explain it that sounds plausable.

   That's how the brain functions. Reason is storytelling. But it's
   useful storytelling that I'm a fan of.
