Everybody is equal before God and law, but everybody cannot be equal with respect to his intellect. High intelligence is rare, it is not determined by formal education, academic career, money, etc. But if you hold it, you cannot think as others, as the masses. Your worldview, values, personhood and so on would be quite different: I don't say you should artifically differentiate yourself from the masses, however, you cannot run from it. High intelligence gives you more thing, it enables you to see, distinguish what is hidden from the masses, mediocre people, but they never forgive it for you: mediocre people seek to lower great men.
