Let's see...
1 - We are insignificant.
2 - Human accomplishment is a conceit.
3 - Let's cherish our blue dot, and be nice.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

I think the bullet points were directed towards the smug vid and the smug Sagan that inspired it, not the human condition.
