When Nerds Attack: Badfellas - The Murder of Jared Whaley

On the HBO series The Sopranos, retired mob boss Uncle Jun says,
“Some people are so far behind in a race that they actually believe
they’re leading.” He was talking about hubris, I think, the
temptation to convince yourself you’re king of the mountain, when
really everybody’s snickering behind your back. What goes hand in
hand with that kind of arrogance, of course, is a seething well of
jealousy and paranoia. Commit the unforgivable sin of being cooler,
or smarter, or stronger than me, and I won’t be able to rest until
I’ve cut you down to size.
