Well, that just says it all doesn't it?  Curious, may I suggest that you do
some basic background reading (beyond the potted Ayne Rand inevitably
trotted out by the more pseudo-intellectual proponents of this absurd
postion):  you could start with a good dictionary, and the definitions of
ethics, then perhaps some basic Philosophy and a little reading in the
evolution of human cultures......

As a hint, ethics, being a set of rules grounded in a morality, are
*precisely* about limitations on selfishness......
