That...what...science? Science isn't a THING that....what? Science?

Anyway.

Of course we act in our self interest (or at least no act is purely selfless), we experience the universe and interact with it *ahem* "through ourselves" so it is literally the only way to act within it.

But I prefer people whose "selfish" acts are those that sometimes help others though.
