I'm an atheist and coming from a nihilistic world view when I say all of this. Inevitable death defeats pleasure.

Wouldn't nihilism mean that the very concept of "superiority" was a meaningless concept invented by humans with no inherent value outside of each individual's personal beliefs and experiences? Which would of course make Matt's claims of superiority nonsensical and worthy only of derision and poo flinging.
