alevic

This means unwilling to acknowledge that humans have various levels of consciousness development resulting in different degrees of skill in expressing life skills. Being alevic may imply a projection of equality upon others in the mistaken belief that determining quality of another's consciousness (hence, level of development) is unfair to that other person in and of itself. But understanding qualitative differences and levels can lead to a realization of just where a person can improve himself or herself if willing to do so. See the work of Ken Wilber for discussions of levels, lines of development, and states of consciousness.

Her alevic view tended to stall the development of her students as individual differences were seen as relative in her eyes. Difference was honored above development.

gnosonarcissism

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.

gnosoarsonist

"Gnosis" means "knowledge", and "arsonist" means "someone who sets fire to property", so a gnosoarsonist attempts metaphorically to destroy knowledge perceived to be unacceptable. He seeks to suppress knowledge contrary to his own stand rather than winning others over by reason or truth.

He was a gnosoarsonist who thought that a "liberal" view favoring racial diversity should be destroyed. He didn't understand that such a view was "humanist" and affirming of understanding and acceptance in an expansive manner.
