Excess of rationality?
There is no such thing.

Yeap there is a whole lot of it. Go to a modern art museum, and you'll find many dumboes rationalizing why the artist did this/that, instead of just enjoying the view and letting its power acting. Or so many people unable to take a breath and appreciate a landscape without analyzing something. It's a sickness. But it is widely encouraged because it is globally productive for the capitalist. People should be integrist rationalists, so the only way they will be able to live is with a 'purpose', with some productive reason. Some believe in God, some in their minds, under the blessings and absolution of the scientists, high priests of 'modernity'.
The result: big brother is watching you, even with a greater scrutiny since you are watching yourself for any trace of non-productive train of thought. Even your 'vacations' are monitored, there is only
that much freedom allowed, you change some of your habits and conditioning for a few days, but are always stuck in consumerism system anyway...
Yes, rationality has its limits. Did you ever think of watching your life as if it was a quiet river, sometimes? Just for a break? No. You most probably oscillate between being productive, and enjoying other people's productivity (being a consumer).
So, from that rat race point of view, of course, nothing needs to escape rationalism. Because it's a rat race, and you need to be rational in order to win it. But a winner is a loser. Big brother told you you're a winner. Ford wanted you to get a car, so you feel capitalist society is good for you. But you are a loser, capitalist society is good for capital owners. Whatever you can reach in that race, is always a lose/lose. BTW that's probably one chief reason why weed is forbidden: it lets people think differently, and eventually choose wether they want to get involved in any activity before they do.
So many will work just what is needed to get what they are really interested in, not run as rats after all kinds of mind-altering consumer madness. They will feel the taste of life, relax, and sit back whenever they are not working. They won't be lazy, that is propaganda, just the opposite, they will do no less than what is needed, but no more either.
Well by now weed got more or less integrated into the cycle of productivity so most probably it will become legal at some point.
Unless the gv"t want its servant citizens even more mindless and brainwashed, thereby, even more enslaved and productive.
BTW I'm not advocating weed, just showing the hypocrisy behind modern time crime-generating, corrupt-official-profitable, prohibition. I don't like weed. I prefer a good beer once in a while.
