At a time when social media gives you the unfiltered thoughts and self-narration of many of these people, proving daily that they are, well, not generally of superior stock, we have much evidence of how ridiculous this is.
Anyway, the dinner party thing sums it up pretty well to me. They invite people over for dinner, and do it in a more sophisticated way than you do! Because they talk about, you know, stuff!!!
And if a writer is actually impressed by this, what the fuck does that say about that person's life and interests? Wow, dinner parties! Where they talk!!!
Just amazing.
