I disagree with the way you are presenting it, but let me take a different stab at re-summarizing your post:

Humanity's legacy will be measured as a group effort, rather than any individual input. At its root, this is because individuals will die and have relatively short lifespans compared to the collective human species.

I'd let the implications start rolling in from that point instead.

I would like to add, that our collective morale is disproportionately distributed and those with much more money and power, be it political, social or some other to the point, where 1% can sway the 99%... and the end result of collective morale is ... ^(I'll let you, reader finish the sentence)

Other thing of note is prevailing socioeconomical system that has biggest share - capitalism. The constant race for profit and seemingly infinte rate of growth is killing planet and morale .... same could be said about communism though and it's impact ... no model is perfect, but wealth neeeds to be distributed more proportionately and we need much more social approach for those who are most vulnerable - lower income people, our planet, animals and the whole climate ... if there's no nature and most of animals are dead, than it says something about the age of anthropocene - age of men, we are at right now.

stay safe, love your neighbour, breathe the fresh air while you can, do the right thing always ...
