Are you serious? So when I drive Uber to pay rent and feed myself, it is actually because I want sex and attention?

Might want to remove the "Wizard" from your bio, it'd be far more accurate.

Yes that is correct

people want to get money so that they can have an “enjoyable life” very few indeed dedicate themselves to a virtue or an ethics above pleasure

“enjoyable life” as defined through pretty much the entirety of written human history consists of sex and play

So yes humanity is demonstrably composed of egoist consuming hedonists
