Translation: "I want to act more often on my altruistic desires relative to my selfish desires. I want to have a higher emotional attachment to the states of the world my intellect tells me are of higher value."
Which is a fine example of exactly what I was talking about. It's all about you, and nothing about the recipients of your altruistic largesse.
Except I hadn't specified the purpose of that desire, which is to make me act more altruistically, and hence benefit those who I could help, on the margins.
