I think most actions-in-the-world result from a (very) complicated matrix of motivations inside the actor’s head.
I think it’s very rare for an action to be entirely driven by altruistic motivations, or entirely by egotistic motivations.
I do think that many actions are mostly driven by altruistic motivations, and many others mostly driven by egotistic motivations. (And I’ve found it personally helpful to get more clarity on when I’m acting from a mostly altruistic basis, versus when I’m acting from a mostly egotistic basis.)
