[Avodah] The Knowledge Conundrum

  I suppose it is possible to imagine that HKB"H wanted the rest of the
world to advance through rational thought  but wanted us to build
barriers so as not to be affected (much like he may have created
beautiful art and music as a distraction) but that's not the way I'd
bet. BTW was R' Chaim "the chemist" wrong for starting down the Brisker
derech of rationality which would impact so many?

In any event, doesn't the most rational of approaches still require a
leap of faith, so is it really a dichotomy?
