Thanks for expanding my vocabulary.
Actually, the Pococurante I was referring to was a minor character from
one of the Enlightenment's most famous novels.
Voltaire chose Pococurante as the name of a character in his famous
novel Candide.

Everything Lord Pococurante encounters is beneath him. Despite being
surrounded by the trappings of luxury and high culture, he complains
that none of it is of any real value, or interest, to him. He is too
good for the world.
