What does Egoist really mean?

Sure, I'd be happy to explain what "egoist" means! Basically, an egoist is someone who is really focused on themselves and puts their own needs and desires above others. So, instead of thinking about how their actions might affect other people, an egoist is mostly concerned with what's best for themselves.

It's like when you're playing a game and someone only wants to make the rules in a way that benefits them, without thinking about how it might make the game less fun for everyone else. Or if you're working on a group project and one person only cares about getting the credit for themselves, even if it means not working well with the rest of the group. That's kind of the idea behind being an egoist.

Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any other questions!
