“Being a jerk” here means “being a jerk according to other people’s notion of morality, but not according to my own notion of morality”, right?
I sort of take offense to “we’re the ancient Greeks”; I make sure to disagree with Western morality whenever it’s wrong, and I have no reason to believe the resulting distribution of errors is biased toward agreement with Western morality. If you meant to say “most of them are the ancient Greeks”, then sure.
