This misunderstands the motivations of real-life evil people.
Once you accept there is no afterlife, that your legacy means nothing, and that you're a piece of shit who has no desire to contribute to society or help others - only your personal success and self-pleasure while living matter.
Tarquin says it best, though much more humorously, here: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0763.html
By Rush's personal measure, he absolutely won. So did Kissinger. So did Reagan. Trump and Jones and Rogan are on track.
You don't beat such people with legacy.
Here's the comic. Thanks, it was a good read.
I don't think that most of the people we might consider evil have that level of self-awareness. Certainly those with a pathological lack of empathy are overrepresented in the highest echelons of power. It doesn't logically follow that they see themselves as bad.
You can either make somthing for younger generations. Or burn what's been built for your own pleasure.
Boomers made thier choice
Tarquin ! What a beautiful reference. Sadly still as pertinent as ever.
