Yeah I was thinking of this idea of everyone having their own crypto coin while writing this!
The belief in one's own superiority is often tied to external outcomes by the individual himself. This is why artists struggle instead of feeling indifferent toward people's indifference. The reason is because, if you believe you're objectively right, then there's an objective "ought to" hiding in your belief. To be more concrete, the person who believes in his own let's say artistic superiority cannot, I think, believe in the following two statements at the same time: (a) I am a superior artist to person X (b) X ought to have greater artistic success than I, all things being equal. I think there's a contradiction hiding there somewhere, though there's no immediately evident logical fallacy there, and I think in this and similar ways our subjective beliefs get tied to the external world, and we begin to attempt and to struggle to externalize our inner convictions.
Thanks for the comment!
