What is the greatest lie every created? What is the most vicious obscenity ever perpetrated on mankind? Slavery? The Holocaust? Dictatorship? No. It's the tool with which all that wickedness is built: Altruism. Whenever anyone wants others to do their work, they call upon their Altruism. 'Never mind your own needs', they say, 'think of the needs of... of whoever. The state. The poor. Of the army. Of the king. Of God!' The list goes on and on. How many catastrophes were launched with the words: 'Think of yourself?' It's the "king and country" crowd who light the torch of destruction. It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure.

Plot spoiler: Most, if not virtually all achievements of humanity were driven by selfish gains and the ability to reap the fruits of the necessary labour to achieve them.

No arguments here, but in the end there needs to be a balance of personal amelioration and societal progression.
