Even seemingly educated people (i.e. graduates) tell me that I "think too much", and that sometimes I use long words that other people might not know, and by implication, that this is a bad thing...

What I hate about this attitude is the expectation that I should 'dumb-down' for people. Why should the prefered option be that of less sophistication and thought?

People are mentally lazy, except for when they are inventing ways to justify their mental laziness, and then I have to deal with endless accusations of elitism, poorly thought out relativist opinions, and mock humbleness.

Educated =/= intelligent.
