goals to accomplish what you actually want, and then understanding the world around you and yourself well enough to systematically and logically accomplish those goals.
That sounds like turning motivations (i.e. goals) into plans.
It would certainly include studying yourself to understand how to generate motivation.
“Rational,” as an adjective for goals, typically means something like “internally consistent” or “long-sighted” or “wise,” and so in general “rational goals” and “goals” mean different things. In a definition for rationality, though, it’s inappropriate.
I didn’t mean that it was superfluous in front of ‘goals’ but that it was superfluous in a definition of ‘rationality’, so we agree about that. And Pringlescan’s definition makes sense if it’s removed.
That sounds circular to me.

Indeed, as an indirect step.
The adjective ‘rational’ is just superfluous there; the grandparent should simply remove it.
