I wonder if it's just an unfortunate choice of words.

It strikes me as consistent with a "there are the real, heroic, important people who make decisions and do stuff and change the world and do the impossible and are thousand-year-old vampires and wish to become stronger and etc., and then there's everyone else" vibe that pervades the Sequences.

(ETA: ...but which apparently is either unintentional or subsequently updated away from.)

According to OP's reply, Eliezer_2015 likely disagrees with Eliezer_<=2013 on this issue... and we have Brienne to thank for it.

Cool. Updated (both the comment and my beliefs).
