We live on a world with nearly 7 billion people, resource scarcity and access to basic necessity are serious issues which the majority of those people face. I think that we as individual members of humanity owe it to ourselves and our brethren to now and again contemplate on our net utility and indeed consider if our greatest contribution wouldn't be the ultimate one. Going on past contributions and approach of the editor in question I am personally convinced that a detached analysis would favor such an outcome. That said, those same behavioral artifacts also point to the inability of the editor to act in such a selfless manner, so your concerns - while no doubt thought to arise from the best of intentions, are for naught.
