What about ignorance of science and belief in divine help and righteous ritual instead?

i see that as a portion of said definition. Hubris plays both sides equally.

Well, we had a program that was not renewed to map out and understand potential threat of some 100 plus novel Coronaviruses in wild animals, globally and we didn’t renew funding and so shut it down. That’s not scientists’ Hubris!
Isn’t that just dismissal of irrelevant “tree-hugging science day-dreamers” by ignorant businessmen or politicians who are averse to environmental science?
The scientists showed no hubris. Or am I mistaken
Most scientist are modest, relatively poorly paid but devoted to unraveling nature’s secrets. Where is the hubris in that?

humans in general do. its really relevant to where you are on the "food chain" perspective. as is being demonstrated as we speak.
"Most scientist are modest, relatively poorly paid but devoted to unraveling nature’s secrets. Where is the hubris in that?" if only that were true all of the time.

But as a class, they are more likely to be serving the public rather than simple greed.
But I agree that being recognized and exploiting those working underneath you, is also part of that ecosystem!
So yes, “food chain” position is always relevant!
