arrogance

The act or habit of making statements based on pride, self-importance, conceit, or the assumption of intellectual superiority and the presumption of knowledge that is not in evidence or supported by any facts or experience.

"The War in Iraq is similar to the War in Vietnam" stated by Howard Dean is based on Dr. Dean's arrogance and self-importance, and not based on any understanding of current events or direct knowledge of the situation in Iraq.

Senator Kennedy repeating "Lie after Lie after Lie..." is evidence of his arrogance that seems to derive from little more than his family name, and not from his knowledge of the subject matter, or his understanding of events.

Contrast this to ignorance -- for example, claiming that Islam is a Peaceful Religion when in fact the religion is only peaceful to others who submit to it (the meaning of "Islam") and even then it is not peaceful to other "believers" who belong to different Islamic sects. This is not an example of arrogance as much as an example of ignorance, but the act of making such claims is similar to arrogance.

Arrogance

Somebody that moves to your neighborhood from theirs, then gets embarrasssed by your presence there because they thought they owned the place.

I knew you before you moved to my neighborhood, had a car, a house, or a job, or claimed to be a seasoned, award-winning somebody here, back when you ran to your mother and had her have your father threaten (or woop) somebody instead of the police. So you can shove your awards, your experiences, and your threats about having somebody locked up in a jail or a mental institution right up your ass and get out. Arrogance doesn't come from your family.

Arrogance

Arrogance can come from youth or old age, not just one or the other. Assuming that somebody else envies your youth is arrogance of youth if it isn't based on reality. For example, if a person that lived through the 80s (or 70s, or decades before) wouldn't trade their time during those years for youth, since youth would mean they missed out on all that time and mostly just remember the 90's or 2000's, then they are not envious of anybody's youth. They had their own youth, and they are where they are now, and that is fine with them, because they'd rather be themself than a younger version of themself, or you.

Arrogance can be there at any age. The kind of person that assumes someone else envies their youth must envy the youth of people younger than themselves, and yet not every younger person would make or has made such a narcissistic assumption about other people.

Arrogance

Convincing people in an area they need you because you believe they do is arrogance. People that are home don't need a welcome from anybody else there, and nobody could make them unwelcome there, because they are home.

The artists didn't make the neighborhood cool with their art. The neighborhood was already cool and diverse before the art and gentrification. If anything, most people thought these artists were mostly dorks that saw the same dollar signs developers did. Arrogance was what made these folks think they were making anything cool.
