It's not such a bad word -:) And, it doesn't really take away from
creative thinking. Wouldn't it be better to be creative in a rational way,
than in an irrational manner?

Perhaps this is the upside of the posthuman. Whether or not we hit a
Singularity, we will hit a Creativity Augmentum where creativity will be
much in demand at a period when we have not only the time, but the
brain-power to create. The leaps in our creativity will be manifold. Will
it be rational? If we are rational beings, our creativity is rational.
