Self-image and the brain's catch-22

The above brain scan is featured in a great write-up on recent research about frontal lobes, the benefits of having them active and how to activate them.

Short version: the more you think you're better than others, the less active the lobes become. Less active lobes decrement your ability to reason, plan, make decisions and solve problems. A true Catch-22 or is there a way out?
