omfg I have a coworker who is just like this and he is a turbochud who claims to be apolitical.
Every now and then I will pull up something to completely factually correct him and I can just see the look of cognitive dissonance at being proven wrong in front of an audience and the frustration flowing from it and then he just moves on and forgets it ever happened, continuing to condescend to me and act like the smartest person in the room on every SINGLE topic despite the fact I have repeatedly proven him wrong just on memory, then I have to wait till a break so I can get my phone pull up a source and be like NO MOTHERFUCKER YOU ARE AN IDIOT STOP ACTING SMUG.
Ah same, my guy is in tech and is related to me. He never really listens to what I say and starts to impose his understandings of what I think and am like on me often before I can even finish what I was trying to say.
Likes to throw out things like "dunning-kruger", but when I reply with something like "doesn't actually exist" just completely dismisses me and trucks on with those prefixed ideas.
He also loves to state how he is a feminist and on the side of equality. Thinks other men are misogynist, but treats the women in his life in a very condesending way. Exhausting to try and talk to.

My guy is my brother. He acts like I'm some kind of a mark for not believing in ghosts.
