Ultimate selfishness i refer to ultimate cause:
You ultimately reproduce to have offspring, but that does not mean that is in your mind when you are having passionate sex with someone. You may even want to avoid it.
The proximate reason is your own.

Ultimate selfishness must include not just producing an offspring, but leaving living conditions for it as well.

That would imply a foresight along with intent on genes. The living conditions are the environment that will do the selection.
