On the off chance that you're actually trying to engage seriously here... you nod here in the general direction of an important point that comes up a fair bit on this site, namely that for human purposes it's not enough to be arbitrarily good at optimizing, it also matters what I'm optimizing for.

Put another way: sure, one way of becoming really successful at achieving my goals is by discarding all goals that are difficult to achieve. One way of becoming really successful at promoting my values is by discarding my existing values and replacing them with some other values that are easier to promote. This general strategy is often referred to here as "wireheading" and generally dismissed as not worth pursuing.

Admittedly, it's not precisely clear to me that what you're describing here matches up to that strategy, but then it's not precisely clear to me why you consider it the easiest way of being rational either.
