That is a very western, independent cultural paradigm you have there. Western culture and values are not shared by everyone in the west let alone all humanity.

Only a few of us have strong narcissistic and anti-social personality traits, but they are vocal and usually end up in positions of power.

I would argue the vast majority of humanity throughout history is more selfless and willing to sacrifice and work towards a goal than you give us credit for. Look at the big picture and think about how much innovation has come from a place not driven by profit potential but for THE potential to go further.
