It’s possible to feel superior to most people because you can recite Koran by heart even if you are a homeless beggar. It’s possible to feel superior because you can solve a Rubik’s cube faster than anybody else. There will always be some peers who would award you high status for unusual accomplishments. If that’s what you want, there are hardly any objections to be made.
