That seems circular to the point of absurdity. If rationalism is whatever makes you win and winning is achieving your goals and my goal is to be rational...
That's why I cut at "and my goal is to be rational". Instrumental rationality is systematized winning, winning is steering the future into regions that are higher in your preference ordering. If the possession of truth is also fun, that's just secondary fuel for our epistemic rationality.
