I must also compliment you on the title "Individualism Is Misunderstood"... free of Ayn Rand's flawed condemnation of altruism as immoral, individualism breathes as consensual freedom of choice.
We are a random distribution of individuals shaped by natural selection, some outliers entirely egoistic others entirely altruistic.
Most of us are a mix of varying degrees.
That is one attribute of the nature of us.
Compassion is another attribute that can be sampled statistically across our entirety to arrive at its mean and standard distribution.
I agree with what you write. For more info on Individualism, visit www.individualist.one
