I think you misunderstood the OP and, mistakenly, thought that by transcending death I meant being famous among people. Well, no, not at all. People like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer are reasonably famous, but I think we can both agree that their deeds don't really transcend space and time.
People talking about you long after your death is definitely not a good metric of how meaningful your life was.
Does literally anyone expect that their deeds will transcend space and time? Even in Becker, while it's been years since I've read him, I don't think the immortality projects he talks about are even supposed to go quite as far as that. Creating something that will leave an impact for generations to come, yeah, but outright transcending space and time?
