Hey, not all of us! Physics was humbling in my experience. Had the exact opposite effect.

I did exceptionally well at a top physics university, and still felt stupid all the time.

It took getting my ass handed to me to wipe that veneer off my perceived awesomeness and realized I’m doing this cause I love it. Why would I think down on anyone else doing what they do cause they love it?

And I sure as hell came to realize that there’s people better at biology than I am at physics.

That said, lots of physics people are high on their own supply. So, not discounting the reality of physics dickheads that are in abundant supply.
