> we are still worth something even when our achievements are completely removed.

You can’t logically derive this from anything. It’s just a choice of how to see the world. “Worth” is inherently a subjective value judgement.

Who ever said it has to be logically derived?

Most of what we do and how we think is not “logically derived” and is extremely subjective; we’re human, not Vulcan.

The GP claimed that "this logically isn't true", implying that the question is one of logical reasoning.
