You know, I hadn’t noticed before, but the claim that rationality should make you win is isomorphic to a similar contention I have about ethics. I guess that shouldn’t be surprising since ethics is tied to decision-making, and so is this definition of ‘rationality’.
So I’ll come out and say it—ethics specifies criteria for judging which (character|actions|outcomes) are the best.

Rationality tells you how to achieve your goal. Ethics tells you your goal.
