After his encounter with Jung he more and more emphasized the creative aspect of science, i. e. the lucky ‘flash of wit’ or brilliant idea that comes to you. This aspect is decidedly irrational according to Pauli and can never be reached by rational methods alone (observation and logic). Instead he wanted to see the irrational as an integrated part of nature…working at a deeper level as some sort of constructive force.

@mrmasterkeyboard i am very much in the boat of not liking #crypto LOL. part of my full-on toe dip into the fediverse is my belief that we’re witnessing the pop of the crypto bubble, and i wanted to get on a platform where i feel like the barrier of entry is a certain level of #education and #rational thinking, and i’m hoping that there’s some more real and actionable conversations here vs the mass hysteria on #MainstreamSocialMedia

It's easy to forget that we're feeling machines that think, not thinking machines that feel.

(Source: an António R. Damásio quote.)

We like to think that we're rational actors but we are not. Look at children. They certainly don't act rationally all of the time. And somehow we draw an arbitrary line at 18 years of age and pretend that we're no longer children. All while our brains develop well into our 20s. So where is the moment where we become purely rational actors? Please point it out in this timeline. (Spoiler: you cannot.)

My tip: embrace your own irrationality and find the humor in it. Forgive, learn, grow, and do better. Flourish. You got this.
