You have to have a core of arational desires/goals/values. Otherwise, you're just a logic engine with nothing to prove.
I agree, and I think that pretty much answers the post's question:
"True rationality" is, pretty much by definition, the best way of achieving your goals. The above question should be written as: do you have goals that are so important, that you would agree to give up something fundamental to the human experience to achieve them?
My personal answer is: mine only such goals are of the form "do not undergo a huge amount of torture/suffering".
