Heideggerization 

The process of caring about others in order to actualize the self.

A phenomenon delineated by the philosophy of Martin Heidegger.

Self (meta) - caring.
Heideggerization uses solipsism (continuity-of-consciousness; discontinuity-of-corporeality) in order to achieve care.

Heideggerization implies that egoism is not a complete idea since human beings use caring to achieve a sense of self; and selfness is a more fundamental idea than selfishness.

Ie. Selfishness mimics but is not self-actualization.
