"selflessness is ultimately self-serving" Foolish. You conceive of your selfishness or selflessness as independent from humanity, when they are part of our survival strategy as a species, cooperation itself. How can you conceive of selflessness as individual at all
they are values that cannot be extricated from the masses, and since survival benefits all survivors, whether it is "truly selfish" to be "selfless" is an immaterial and pointless question to ask. It does not matter. It benefits all regardless.
that is intrinsically why selflessness is more moral than selfishness. Two or more benefit, as opposed to one. Simple math defeats the supposed paradox.
