That makes no sense to me. You're basically saying that people can't change their mind or their approach to life, which is simply false. So, no, you haven't "already lost" just because you're trying to persuade someone to take the bigger picture into consideration here.
"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." -
John F. Kennedy
That's probably his most famous quote. It's not hard to extend it to... "Ask not what your world can do for you - ask what you can do for your world."
Isn't that a good attitude to encourage yourself and other people to have?
Especially people with exceptional abilities, talents, and/or power for obvious pragmatic reasons?

Yeah, everybody else is irrelevant. The only person Shiina should care at all about is herself. Gotcha.
