So, of course everything you do is for a selfish reason. You behave to fulfill behavioral and emotional needs, but its mostly based on emotion; for without that you would just sit and die. Emotions drive all, even "logic" and "reasoning". But, the issue is not that we act selfishly, for that will always be, as that is how we can be autonomous; selflessness though, facilitates us acting as a group instead. It is pro-social to improve things for others, and so there must naturally be internal mechanisms that drive that behavior, and dopamine is pretty good at getting behavioral responses. But to say 'selflessness" doesn't exist is like saying there is no sun. Selfless does not mean you get nothing out of it, just that you get little to nothing out of it; or may even end up suffering considerably for it. Maybe our definition of selfishness/selflessness is skewed, but they both exist.
