They want to successfully operate in the world (which can roughly be translated to power) more than they want to be right (that is, have strictly correct beliefs).
I guess that makes sense. I was just not sure whether you meant that, vs the reverse (my model of postrats is loose enough that I could see either interpretation).
I don’t know which postrats you have in mind here, but the obvious (rat) question is, are they succeeding? And do they want to be right about at least that question?
How so? Like postrats want power?
