My supporting POV on selfishness motivating human moral values

[smax]

I don't think it's that complicated at all. But, perhaps to sort through an obvious objection you have to this philosophical point of view, you could provide the alternative to this theory which you feel is clearly a better explanation for moral values in human beings. 

And, by the way, I never, not even in the slightest, tried to pass this theory off as my own, hence, the words "supporting POV" in the thread title.

Well my alternative point of view is that human actions are inspired by multiple things, selfishness only being one and probably just a small part of it.

I actually have a pet belief of mine that boredom is probably the key motivator in the universe. Even for myself, and I would say I rank way above average in the selfishness department, far more of my actions are inspired by boredom than selfishness. 

Have you considered that the actions you take because of boredom are in the pursuit of self interest? I mean, that seems like an obvious cause and effect. 

Am I conversing with you on these forums because I am selfish? No.

I'd argue that you are, in fact, conversing on these forums for reasons of self interest. Or, is it your argument that you get absolutely nothing out of this at all. No mental or intellectual stimulation. No satisfaction of your curiosity about the thoughts and beliefs of others. No reinforcement of some of your own thoughts and values. 

You would argue that your presence here is a complete act of selflessness?
