This sounds self-aggrandizing to me. To construct a monument to ourselves, for the expressed purpose of ensuring that future generations remember our awesomeness? I don't really think that this is a message that I—as a member of this current generation—would want immortalized for all time.
I suppose it is fitting, though. I mean, there are few things that encapsulate the spirit of the age better than "Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!"
