Rational self interest is supposed to be when everyone does what's in their own best interest while recognizing the rights of others so that competition breeds innovation and success for the group as a whole, but really it's just withdrawing consideration for others and getting what you can at the expense of others. American capitalist doctrine and propaganda promotes the former but really fosters the latter. I'd say you're bad at all that and don't want to be that but ultimately it still infects your worldview.
