I'm pretty sure a dude made a career in science by proving that statistically altruism is, on average, a net benefit to the individual and his (potential) progeny.

At least it's an honest philosophy of ethics. Look at our society - neo-liberal, capitalist - and then look at the behavior that is most rewarding in this society. It's self-centered, egotistic behavior. That's why narcissism is usually overlooked as a mental illness; the ability to remorselessly potentially fuck up everything in your path to get ahead is celebrated, not condemned. If a moral system like utilitarianism has its place in the 'society' as superior being, I feel like Rands moral system has its place in today's individual.
