I don't see myself as superior. I'm jealous of wealthy people. My real motivation for writing the previous comment is that I'm just not good at pretending and so I'm bitter about missing out on opportunities because of that.
For example, I see that the kinds of people who get funding are those who are really good at presenting themselves in a particular way. You don't need to be smart, you just need to look/act smart, talk fast and tell the prospective investor exactly what they want to hear - In the current economy, only people who are really good at faking seem to succeed.
Those who are good at faking are those who don't realise that they're faking. "Fake it till you make it" is the name of the game. Nobody can lie better than those who lie to themselves.
