Love is intrinsically selfish

[Angrboda]

I think, though being a bit tipsy, am unsure, that egoism doesn't pre-suppose the notion that you can choose to be egoistic or not. If there is no such choice, then egoism collapses into meaninglessness. It is akin to people who object to the idea of the selfish gene because they view selfishness as immoral. The gene is only selfish in a purely mathematical, stochastic sense, and humans are only egoistic in the sense that they might be otherwise; if this sense does not exist, your notion is an idea without sense or meaning, or, value -- or practical use.
