Do You Think You're Better Than Me, or Something?
Manage episode 332687737 series 2654181
Nothing quite gets under our skin like when we feel like someone thinks they’re better than us. But yet, the odds are that you think you’re better than the average person.
Today we’re talking superiority. We’ll explore how humans evolved to rank each other and dig into the theories on why we tend to put ourselves higher in those rankings. We’ll also look at what happens when that feeling of superiority goes too far.
All to answer to our rude question: Do you think you’re better than me, or something?
That’s what’s coming your way today, on Impolite Society.
