Tricky semantics here but I take Ayn as making a distinction between a broad sense of self interest (selfishness) which should include every aspect of the local environment, the entire planet, vs self centered which is the place of an infant or fool or psychopath.

@lbear3321 Not defending anything you clown. Prove what someone meant? Read her work it's clear. I described my take the best I can. Typically "selfish" is used as self centered , simple narrow and childish, obviously NOT how Ayn uses term. She uses it as the opposite of self sacrifice. Get it? To run into a burning building to save some one you love would be selfish, to do so to save someone who preys on you, someone you properly hate, might be self sacrifice which is not necessarily admirable. To steal might be self centered but it's not selfish if one understands theft to damage local society you are a part of and/or degrade your own self respect. A selfish person sticks to their principles for their own reasons, to protect their own value.
