You're a better person than me. Since you responded, I tried to read the OC. Word salad.
To your point, I now believe all design problems are human problems, which sometimes involve math and science.
I read Neal Postman's Technopoly and Donald Norman's Design of Everyday Things around the time I was figuring out that computers weren't delivering on their promises in the areas I care about (CAD for A/E/C, education), and in some cases made things worse. Validation for what I was experiencing, observing.
I credit Postman and Donald Norman for my conversion from technophile to humanist.
I don't have anything to say about rationality. I gave up (forfeited) after the 2016 USA elections.
