Perhaps it's a slight diversion, but I must interject. While it's interesting, and while I agree at some level, I don't find it terribly pragmatic to tear apart terms like selfishness and free will--terms which everybody should agree have recognizable moral connotations in the social context in which we live.

Put another way, if I said to one of my kids, "Don't you think you're being a little selfish," and they came back at me with, "well, so are you with your criticisms," I would not reward them with an ice cream for brilliant philosophy.
