You are NOT an idiot and in fact quite the opposite. I read people's general intelligence can be "measured" by what they talk about most. People on the low end tend to talk about other people. Average people generally talk about people and/or events. The extraordinary person likes to talk about IDEAS. You seem to be an idea person, and may need to curb your enthusiasm with some people because they are just not on the same vibe as you are. They typically end the conversation or say something to the effect that you are stupid or "off" to protect their ignorance. I write from practical experience and suggest cultivating the knack for listening to others to determine their "level" before engaging in too much intellectual stuff. Remember, you are the intelligent one. Don't let others general ignorance, bring you down . Okay?
