I think it’s the opposite. Most people aren’t that egotistical. We all feel quite small relative to history. But I think OP is highlighting that even history is quite short. Ancient Rome, which feels like a very long time ago, is actually only 80 generations ago. If “life’s short”, then 80 lives is short too.

I think you might not be entirely sure what ego is/means. “Egotistical” derived from it, but they’re not the same thing.
Otherwise, you’re basically just saying what I said.
