I agree with Annoyance below. I value rationality. I also value other things. I think that it is true for some X that it is rational to X and I should not X, as it conflicts with things that I value more highly than rationality. I’d have to do some work to find an example, though.
This only makes sense if you think that “rational” only applies to a subset of your utilities. I can’t see how X could be “rational” to do if its negative utilities exceed the positives, using my definition of “rational”.
