Why? If the majority is wrong 99.9%, it likely means you have a lesion to your ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and have cognitive blind spots you aren't even aware of in regards to calculating morality and the worth of others.
Why it's a lesion and not just full fledge brain trauma is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex also controls appraisals of self worth and those of close friends and kin, and a sense of property and familiarity with objects.
Basically you are not a Nietzschesn Ubermensche, but rather someone rather ironically mentally impaired and prone to being bumped off, out of the gene pool.
But I wouldn't advocate blind faith in Democracy or any other stage in the Kyklos Cycle.

I'd recommend very close self analysis of where you seem to get confused and not understand things where everyone else seems to get it, and try to figure out if you have a cognitive impairment.
Gene Roddenberry, the inventor of Star Trek, had a concept for a show called Andromeda he tried for decades to get filmed as a TV series. After his death his eife finally got tha lt permission. The plot of the TV series was someone with your basic outlook was a future subspecies of humans called Nietzscheans, after the philosopher Nietzsche. They were a very strong and intellectual people who generally didn't like democracy either, and looked down on humans. They eventually lead rebellion, collapsed their multi-galactic civilization, and turned into petty criminals warring against one another and crucifying the weak. Barely a trace of intellectualism in their ranks. They generically modified thier subspecies to feel superior and enjoy hurting others, but this backfired as they couldn't maintain complex alliances without it constantly (and predictably) collapsing due to mutual jealously and distrust. This kften lead them to massive, costly defeats. Even little traits they programmed in, such as a refusal to self harm, not to commit suicide, and flee from overwhelming danger (which sounds prudent) meant they oftentimes became paralyzed with fear and would let their families and friends die out of meaningless self interest, while your normal humans had no problems adapting.
They were basically Khan's race of super humans from Star Trek's Eugenics War. Same writter, two almost identical sub species of superman with notible uninended weaknesses backfiring on them all the time.
