All exclusive clubs share this habit of claiming superiority above the 
common people.

But such superiority needs no proof anymore, once people have been 
accepted by that club.

Add inheritence of membership and you can see such clubs drift away into 
obscurity, because the requirement of superiority cannot be inherited, 
but had to be earned.

In effect very ordinary people gather, do obscure things, which are 
meant to raise them above the common 'worms'.

But, as a matter of fact, the rituals don't do the trick and cannot 
really replace hard earned merits.
