IMO, kicking a dog, taking candy from a baby and murdering someone is not STS. It's just being mean and exchanging catalyst with others.
Service to self is admiring Stalin and wanting to do the same, which Saddam Hussein did. Millions in the USSR loved Stalin and practically worshiped him because he enslaved them to his will. THAT'S true STS. An STS person likely was temped toward doing that at an early age and it just kept being a good idea.
Most people, OTOH, by nature and by a certain tendency built into Earth society, decide to be more and more compassionate toward others. Once they choose to be that way and ARE in more than 50% of their interactions with others, they are good for Harvest.
