So perhaps an objective perspective that recognizes everyone's objective approach would account for this. It's being objective to be altruistic to be objective; ying/yang. I think bacteria operate similarly with their" signal molecules" and the awareness it gives them to operate interdependently. There's a balance to this, you first, others second. Everyone wants someone who stands up for themselves and has their own opinions. If you sacrifice yourself for the group you'll end up a shell of a human, open for manipulation and dangerous to a world that is ripe with lies and corruption. It all must stem from necessity, true to yourself so you're true to everyone else.

Objectively Altruistic
I believe altruism is mostly started by rich people who feel guilt and have the comfort and luxury to write about it, and of course it's approved by other guilt ridden rich people who where probably the only people who knew how to read and write. Objectivity usually comes from down trodden people who have only felt control, like the usual Ayn Rand and all those other ex-commies. So I'm using Kant and Rand for this. To be altruistic you first have to be objective. I say this because you first have to take care of yourself to take care of others, your not good to yourself or anyone else if you're not good to yourself first. If you only care about others as your first priority you would die; you'd lay down your life for someone else before you saved yourself. And if we all only followed Rand and only cared about our own goals we'd conflict with everyone else trying to do their own and kill each other.
