I like the idea of altruistic egoism: essentially that it benefits me to improve things for others. I guess that's either not expanding my notion of self or expanding it to encompass the world.

I think that is another route to take, another lens for observation. I like the concept "altruistic egoism" makes you want to find the fallacy, yet the more I think about it, the more I agree.
Thanks for the input @eturnerx
Talk about the right person to show up on an altruistic egoism comment. @meno over here is really putting that into practice with @helpie and everything he is doing. He is lifting everyone up around him.
What is presented in this post is more like a half glass full version of psychological egoism.
Like @meno said it is another lens to wear. It is another way to interpret relationships and the world around you.
I think what is important in the end is that the goal is better interaction. More people winning.
