Get the hingy mug.This word is a combination of "gnosis" (knowledge) and "narcissism" (self-centeredness). So, gnosonarcissism is a self-centered view that one's level of knowledge is correct and/or complete despite what others know. This implies a lack of understanding that others might know more in areas of knowledge in either a horizontal way (breadth of knowledge) or a vertical way (depth of knowledge).
Because of his gnosonarcissism, he was unable to believe that the ideas of others could ever be better than his own ideas.

Get the corpolytic mug.This is a person who either consciously or unconsciously constricts the spiritual development of others due to treating others and oneself as a mere pile of atoms (see poa).

Breath is known in Greek as "pneuma" and is synonymous with "spirit".
