Perhaps then I’m not understanding what you mean by rational default? I see for instance shirt or long term as two different goals therefore two different lines of reason. They may be in conflict but they are separately each rational. Then I need to prioritize do I solve the short term or the long term goal in this moment. I could rationalize all kind of short term gains, till I felt satiated enough to tackle a long term action, which might be the exact opposite of my actions for the short term goal. Both equally rational both justified, both beneficial to whatever the goal to benefit was. It is rational to serve your short term and long term goals so I guess I’m missing what you’re calling “no rational default”.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
