Those who've already won and who have a bunkered winning position sometimes present themselves as our most virtuous. Those are the ones I have issue with, mostly.
Okay although I am not sure what exactly you mean. Are you referring to wealthy elites with influence or simply members of the intelligentsia? In any case, what is the root of your issue with them? The fact that they might have influence in society? Acting above their respective station?

I have never liked the idea that one could say they are virtuous, caring for the disadvantaged, after realizing they will never have to care about themselves in that way.
Education is extremely important.

@horace Still doesn't answer my question. Who considers themselves virtuous? Philanthropists? Elites? Educated people? Ordinary folks who do volunteer work for specific causes and charities?
That's a good question. I can't answer it, it's not logical, only preceptional.
Education is extremely important.
