It looks like that we are close to conclusion that QI mainly put difference between “egocentric” and “altruistic” goal systems.
The most interesting question is: where is the border between them? If I like my hand, is it part of me or of external world?
There is also interesting analogy with virus behavior. A virus seems to be interested in existing of his remote copies, with which it may have no any casual connections, because they will continue to replicate. (Altruistic genes do the same, if they exist after all). So egoistic behaviour here is altruistic to another copies of the virus.
