Yes, that’s what I read, too. IMO in humans there’s mostly idolizing and low self worth going on, causing feelings of inferiority/superiority towards others. „I am worth more/less than this person because XY“ is a very common thought pattern that we better do away with. Using a common denominator can be useful to realize that everybody is equal - like the fact that we all die, or that nobody has perfect knowledge of the world.
