I also read some philosophy, and while the dichotomy between doing what you want and helping others isn't often stated explicitly, it's common to assume that someone who is doing what they want is not benevolent and is likely to screw people over. Mainly it's only the virtue ethicists who think that egoists would be benevolent.
