Beginning to see the point here? Even if there's no social scientist pedigree for backing, I'm seeing that very attitude within neighbors, friends, fellow employees, and in particular politicians. Which begs the question, just what dues do you think you've paid to claim superiority?
I certainly haven't seen that attitude in any of the humble deities of religions we claim to follow but, it surely shows up in the character traits of those who want to rule over others. And they always seem to have credentials that lack character or qualification.
Except for loud mesmerizing voices. And the forced opinions of their ilk.
