Fundamentally, because we are still worth something even when our achievements are completely removed.

If you take the view that our achievements are necessarily integral to our self worth this logically isn't true.

But this isn't the point. The previous commenter was replying to someone who said that what we do has zero to do with our self worth. They were saying, no, it does have quite a lot to do with it.

Saying "well it's not all about what we do!" is not in keeping with the conversation.

You can’t logically derive this from anything. It’s just a choice of how to see the world. “Worth” is inherently a subjective value judgement.

Who ever said it has to be logically derived?

Most of what we do and how we think is not “logically derived” and is extremely subjective; we’re human, not Vulcan.

The GP claimed that "this logically isn't true", implying that the question is one of logical reasoning.
