Why yes, I agree that the vast majority of people aren't very high in the Humanity Table of Records (to put it mildly). However, I think that if you're trying to set the world ahead purely to appear higher in the record table, you're misguided.

I'm not saying I can't understand the human desire to be liked, or adored, or remembered after your death, or considered to be the Best Human to Ever Live on This Planet. I can. But what I can't understand is why so many people try to justify such feelings.
