Yea in the end you need to set some axiomatic framework for rationality.
If you asked me, I would probably include some term about the happiness of others around me, and some further away in my stochastic utility expectation-maximization/risk-minimization in that a rational individual should follow. But then I'm not sure if that would be necessary since I might be automatically less happy if I see others are miserable.
Not relevant to this kind of analysis, but there's also a few of bugs (or paradoxes) to naive definitions of rationality: for example, say you took a pill that somehow leaves you completely happy but in a state of "stasis" and people provided you just subsistence food (essentially, taking heroin) -- if you define happiness in a straightforward way it's something you should seek.
In other words, there's no small mathematical formula that will give you the perfect 'rational' action to take, it requires nitty gritty definitions involving the human mind.
