Do you think you're better than other people? Why?

I think I have a greater potential but I don't use it so I'm an inferior pretentious cunt.

I am the greatest person on the planet. Everyone except for me is a conformist who doesn't listen to my cool meme music. Like if you agree

It's pretty hard to be objectively better than someone, maybe even impossible. I am however better at some things than most, but I guess that can be said of nearly everyone.

This feel is real, user I can´t motivate you that is something you have to do on your own. But just think of the great works and great men you admire, and think of how they got there. By doing.

No, but I try my best to point out their (and mine own) hypocrisy, so people probably think I feel superior

I believe I have advantages. Some of them cultivated through action, some of them inherent through genes and socioeconomic circumstance.

I believe going around and acting better than other people is socially advantageous in some situations.

I believe going around and acting humble is socially advantageous in other situations.

I believe actually believing you are objectively better is a dangerous delusion, and that superiority and entitlement should not be confused with advantage and discipline.

The mental capacity to cultivate and develop skills are themselves inherent traits that people don't really choose to have, so even the things that seem brought about through "merit" in the sense of superiority are not necessarily so.

I doubt I will resolve this question for all time.

In some ways, sure. My job (college student shit job, not like I'm going to be spending my whole life doing this) is doing customer support for people's prepaid welfare benefit cards, so desu it's pretty hard not to feel like you're the smartest person in the world after hearing 25 shaquandras griping about how Tyrone ain't paid no chile 'sport and 25 Billy Smith's moan about why their unemployment payment hasn't been put onto their card yet.

Yes, compared to the people i know.

I'm not better than them, but I recognize that I am smarter than most in most aspects.

I'm still not smart enough or knowledgable enough to make a contribution to the world that someone else might not, so I am not of more value than anyone else.

So better? I don't know.

At this point being smug is the thing that makes happy the most

I think I am very smart and I have huge potential (some of which has been expressed by being in the top X % of academic achievement etc) but I think everyone is smart and has potential but is not lucky enough to be as interested as others in "intellectual" topics or whatever society wants to reward.

So I'm not genetically better than people.

Yes.

In some ways. People often tell me they are impressed by my intelligence and discipline. But as far as the most important Christian virtues (e.g. empathy, charity, humility, prudence) I think I fall short of most people. I blame the 'bergers.

1: yes

2: you sure this really belongs here? It could be turned into or interpreted as some philosophical discussion but it's obvious that this thread won't be anything of value.

Yes because I am aware that I am not

Yes and no. No in the sense that I don't have any more intrinsic right to live than other people. Yes, because despite that, I'm still a firm believer in self-preservation.

I don't seek the destruction or marginalization of others for it's own sake, only instead to prolong my own life.

We are all sinners.
