If your goals are picked based on facts then you are subject to the idea that rational thinkers will come to the same conclusions about matters of fact and so when exposed to the same facts will come to the same goals.

If your goal was not picked rationally based on facts, you can't claim to be a completely rational thinker.

So the only room for human individuality is the knowledge gap between us and omniscient beings where we can pick goals arbitrarily, then pursue them as rationally as our limited mental abilities allow.
