Friend sent me this, I found it to be an interesting read.  

Though I don't fall under the criteria of the most extreme cases, it's quite an interesting hypotheses as I've seen it pop up here and there in my life.

TL;DR of it is basically people who believe that they are infallible in nature are often the one's who are incompetent. So basically if you humble yourself and treat everyone that they have a sense of intelligence (and not refer to them as lol fudgeing retards, that feel when people are not as smart as you etc.) you can find flaws within yourself (or others can point out your flaws) and fix them to become a more competent person.

Don't be an asshat and take legitimate criticism well and you'll find with the help of others you can become a better person.

Anyway, as this is a theory and what not, take it with a grain of salt (not to mention there ARE exceptions to all of this). It's just that, morally, I agree with this in the first place and it makes sense too if you think about it, how can you fix something that you aren't aware of?
