Psychological Egoism is the theory that selfless actions do not exist, and Ethical Egoism is the theory that it is better to be motivated only by self-interest.

Does anyone actually believe this stuff? I've seen arguments for them, but neither I nor anyone I've talked to seems to find them very convincing.
