Actually, the science is against you on that one. Altruism is a survival trait in social species... and humans are a species about as social as it gets. Pure selfishness without regard to others is a defective trait - it may help the short term survival of an individual but is detrimental to the *group* survival in social-based species. People might consider that the next time they're encountering a "I got mine screw you" type of person.
