Your selfishness is not equal to my desire for common prosperity. If anything, lone wolf-ism is what drags us down (no matter how proficient the wolf thinks he is). We live in a society.

> lone wolf-ism is what drags us down

with respect to what metric? economic growth? that's probably not true, lone wolfism is what drives people to develop expertise in the first place

if the metric is community or "sustainability" or something else, is pursuing that metric in the place of economic growth sustainable long term?
