You have a moral obligation to do it
Working in concert, thousands of you could save all the orphans from all the fires, and then go on to right a great many wrongs. You have many many good reasons to gain power.
So unless you're very aware that you will gain power and then abuse power, you will take steps to gain power.
Even from a purely selfish perspective: If 10,000 of you could take over the world and become an elite of 10,000, that's probably better than your current rank.
It's probably easier to cooperate with copies of yourself than with other people, but you also stand to gain less as all of you start out with the same skill set and the same talents.
