I agree denotationally, but object connotatively with ‘rationality is systemized winning’, so I left it out. I feel that it would take too long to get rid of the connotation of competition that I believe is associated with ‘winning’. The other point that would need to be delved into is: what exactly does the rationalist win at? I believe by winning Elizer meant winning at newcomb’s problem, but the idea of winning is normally extended into everything.
I think that Eliezer has disavowed using this statement precisely because of the connotations that people associate with it.
It is because of this that rationality is often considered to be split into two parts: normative and descriptive rationality.

What happened to prescriptive rationality?
