What are nerve impulses; Y'know, synapses and axons..

Actions potentials..

Simply put it's chemical and electrical interactions.

Biological responses, that's what nerve impulses are.
Biological responses to the environment around you.

Explicitly selfish.

So eating food? Having sex?
Being explicitly selfish is basically stealing for your own benefit, to be able to survive in some cases, but apparently not most because we don't live in the wild any more and most of us aren't homeless or in a situation where we need to steal to eat.
There is no physical harm in sharing ideas so I don't see why you feel the need to mention 'explicit' selfishness.
Survival responses, hereditary traits, genetic inheritance, instinct, intuition all seems to fit.

Note the First Cause egoic reaction to "selfishness".

perfect is a score to aim for on a test, maybe. in an artificial situation, it is an artificial goal.
you want to work with the idea of suitability, not one of perfection. you want to move through life appreciating what you can add to good effect and when you can let things be. when the outcome is consistent with your intentions and the needs of others then the act is suitable.
forget perfect. appreciate imperfection.

Is this not appreciation of imperfection?

If a majority of society considers themselves perfect, which 95% do whether they consciously admit it or not, then I'm insanely imperfect. Hope that answers this well.

I think the idea of 'perfect' is largely shaped by consumer advertising and marketing campaigns.
Gotta have white teeth to be on TV etc.

^^Pretty much, I come towards a feeling of cringing when people say shit like "I'll never be good enough, or perfect enough".
Stop stating the obvious and take hold.
