[quote] Everything you do is for yourself. Even when you're doing something for someone else, you're still doing it for yourself. Altruism is subordinate to egoism.[/quote] I have thought this for a long time and have literally no problem believing it. "Altruism" doesn't really exist. The only limitations placed on egoism are empathy and punishment. But, naturally, I'm a big fan of Nietzsche and Hobbes, so that can be expected of me.
