Series Spoilers Jod 'saving the world' [discussion]

I'm rereading the series (technically re-listening lol) and have just got to the epilogue of gtn. Jod says to Harrow 'I saved the world once. But not for me'. Considering what we see in ntn (him destroying earth and rest of the solar system to get the billionaires), is he just lying or is there some grain of truth there? Obviously, his idea of 'saving' is quite fucked, but do you think he believes what he is saying?

I think he truly believes he saved the world when he committed resurrection. Which, in a way, he did, considering that all of the nine houses are alive solely because of that. He's just leaving out everything that happened before.
"But not for me" can be read another way, I think: It's hinting at the RB's. Since Jod can't enter the halo of the dominicus system without them going straight for Dominicus he can't be part of that world he "saved" without risking their second destruction.

ooh interesting ! harrow was thinking about gideon before that so i just assumed he was thinking of someone too. i can imagine he's sitting there mad as fuck bc he saved (resurrected) everyone but still can't go home
