I would say that the experience is purely delusional. Again, have you ever observed or heard of any particular person or persons holding a rally to push for a law that would increase in value of personhood of people who are more educated?

I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to take you seriously?
There's no superior attitude there. You asked a question. Someone answered it. You asked it again. Someone answered it again. Apparently, this went on 31 times and you still don't understand the
