Reason has run amok? Doesn’t sound like a reasonable idea.

But it has run amok. You need only look at the recent collapse of Wall Street. All those tools that created that problem; asset backed commercial papers, derivatives etc.; were reasonable, logical.

But devoid of ethics, of memory, they were destructive.

Mr. Saul does not say Reason is bad, which is how many interpret him. He says without the balancing effect of other important human traits; common sense, ethics, imagination, intuition, and memory; reason will, as you say, run amok.
