It isn't necessarily clear that ForrestN advocates "contributing to humanity." I think that was more of a statement that while goals like "fight the status quo" are ostensibly for the purpose of "contributing to humanity," they're actually motivated by "love, insecurity, and fear of death," without making any value judgments on these goals. That is, ForrestN is explaining how fighting the status quo doesn't even fulfill the stated motives of those who wish to fight against the status quo.
