Epistemic rationality may well affect what you should want. Epistemic rationality values objective facts above subjective whims. It also values consistency. It may well be that these valuations affect the rest of ones value system, ie it would be inconsistent for me to hold self-centered values when there is no objective reason for me to be more important than anyone else.
