Its an interesting analogy, but that ain't it. Ive been burned out and am VERY good at reasoning. In fact, my burnout was largely because my role went from relatively undisturbed reasoning most of the time with long, but not extreme hours, to extreme hours where I was actively punished for reasoning - all while being micromanaged and pulled in many directions. And yet, if I had found the new role to be meaningful and, moreover, with and for decent people (rather than a psychopath), I could totally have done all of that. Burnout comes from when your life has no meaning and, worse, your attempts to find/create meaning are prevented (or worse). "Those who have a why to live can endure almost any how"
