I opine that it is the nonindividuating altruists that are selfish. The individuating egoists are beyond selfishness. They seek not pleasure but see it as their joy and their duty to mavrize and serve God, and they hold and admit that enlightened self-interests benefits the individual and the community at large.
Where people are joiners, low achievers, they exist like vying beasts in the jungle. Their seeking to make it in this dog-eat-dog arena called life propels them to be selfish, and that is in concert with their instinctive, emotional decision-making capacities.
Higher functioning humans that maverize are more logical, rational and temperate. They are in touch with their passions without being ruled by them. Being selfish seems unseemly, crude, irrelevant and undesirable for them, so they will strive to get what is theirs without being selfish, and without savaging peers to get ahead.
