So what about your own seemingly mostly emotion-based blanket one-sentence statement that omits even the attempt of citing prove, or even to actually examine the issue you present?
Relevant ancient educational tiny story: https://riddlesbrainteasers.com/three-philosophers-tree/ https://riddlesbrainteasers.com/three-philosophers-tree/
I got an epiphany moment about that story when I read a story about a medical doctor visiting a "quack" conference. There was one "esoteric" who complained about the others being "esoteric" (he practiced something else than the others, but still something weird), and the doctor looking down on them all. But the crowning part of that story was that the doctor herself held a believe by now proven to be wrong by studies. So they were all laughing about each other, in addition to the original three-philosopher problem this anecdote included a hierarchy (I am better than you), going over several levels, and it turned out the person who thought was at the top looking down on everybody else actually wasn't and should have had a good look in the mirror herself.
The hint should have been seeing that one guy lamenting that all the others were esoteric, but introspection based up on what we see in others isn't many people's string suit. No, (only) they are "stupid".
The philosophers in the little ancient Greek story/riddle managed to get to the truth by including themselves into their logical reasoning and not just think about the others. When you come to a conclusion about other people, always consider if/how it applies to yourself.
The more modern saying is that about throwing stones in a glass house... but it lacks the educational value of the three philosopher problem because it's only the "TL;DT" (too long, didn't think).
