The connecting of disparate ideas is irrational in the individual. It's only when a group of people temporarily accept that those concepts may make sense that things get done. Given consciousness is directly responsible for giving us an individual's consciousness, and that consciousness (either by group or individual) must try to understand itself using the effect it is trying to describe, the concepts may NOT make sense when getting things done. This may be why philosophy is frequently taken as quackery, and non-scientific. ;)
