edit: unless you mean “rattling” to tell us that they don’t really know and they’re just making noises. If that is the point it would be nice if you were explicit about it.
Feel free to explain how irrational actions (despite rational words/intentions) constitute a just world fallacy. Sure, you can call akrasia an incurable disease and give up, or you can keep trying to win despite it. Some have.
people exist who are good at figuring out the best thing to do and not good at doing it. These people are not necessarrilly irrational. e.g. it’s hard for a parapelegic to be good at tennis, or an idiot to be good at maths. The playing field is not level.

Yes, absolutely. Then a rational thing to do would be figuring out what they are good at doing, and start doing it. Does not mean it is easy, just rational.

A paraplegic can find something else to be good at. We had a quadriplegic mayor here for awhile.
“Find or make a niche” is not a strategy someone can automatically pull off when they hit a certain level of rationality. That someone has not successfully done so does not mean they are irrational. Your original comment implies (basically states) that someone who is not getting anything done is, QED, not rational. This is nonsense for the same reason.
You are proposing solutions for which rationality is not the sole determiner of success. people can fail for reasons other than irrationality. Emblematic example of the just world fallacy, with justice here being “rational people succeed.”
just world fallacy at 10 upvotes. wonderful.

Design your own playing field.

It seems that you are intent on applying this label, no matter what, so I will disengage.
