self-interest

Wanting what is best for everyone, including oneself, not, as commonly believed, what is best only for oneself.

People are not that interesting between the beginning and the end of their lives, they're only interesting toward the beginning and toward the end. So it's weird for someone to have an everyday interest in someone else, it's weird because they're usually gathering intel or counter intel on the person they claim to have an interest in, rather than minding their business.

The guy wasnt interesting, and yet the other person claimed to have an interest in something he was doing, so he had to wonder what agency sent the other person. There are no victims in the spy community, spies get paid for their work, not forced into their work.

What you say when you want to accuse a chess player for cheating but you're too much of a coward to say so directly.

Vladimir Kramnik: "Some small new piece of statistics, recently noticed, a player had scored 45,5 out of 46 CONSECUTIVE 3 minutes blitz games against approximately 2950 in average rating opposition (few different players) which is equivalent to 3600+ performance in those 46 Consecutive games. I believe everyone would find this interesting"
