He needs to learn the meaning of the expression "There but for the grace of God go I". Even if he doesn't believe in God, he needs to understand that but for other circumstances of birth, he could be one of the people whom he scorns.

You might be describing a personality disorder in the making. Time will tell.
Interesting. That means this personality runs in the family.
I don;t think this was inborn. I think for my son at least, he developed it over time. His mindset is survival of the fittest.
