Is it wrong that I look down on Joe Blow?

I have to take an introduction to programming concepts class. In this class there are only two other students and myself out of thirty who have ever actually programmed anything. The rest are just average people who decided to go for computer programming out of the blue. These people don't even know what computer programming is and their inability to grasp simple concepts like if statements is mind baffling to me. It's as if their brains are simply not wired for any type of critical thinking. For one of the weekly homework assignments we have to post in a forum and reply to at least two other students' posts. Every week I feel like the posts are troll treads but it makes it worse knowing these people actually have such poor reasoning abilities. I rarely run in to people who I consider to be on an equal level. The huge majority of people practically require me to speak in primitive grunts and can't seem to grasp anything beyond sports or celebrity gossip. Constantly being surrounded by these so called average people makes me feel so disconnected because I simply can't hold any type of meaningful conversation with them. Am I the only one who feels this way or is this normal?

Wow. Just... wow. Call me crazy, but this is only going to death spiral from here.

Maybe it will, but still. It was fun.

In time the project grows, the ignorance of its devs it shows, with many a convoluted function, it plunges into deep compunction, the price of failure is high, Washu's mirth is nigh.
