That's quite emotionally immature really.

Yes, you can choose to be an asshole, regardless of your intelligence, and others can choose to reciprocate in kind. Worst case you're lynched and gain some sort of martyrdom people might or might not care about. Best case you drive everyone away and end up abandoned and ignored, left to your own bitterness.

Or you could try communicating your genius idea, improving people's lives in the process, if its a worthy one. But that only makes sense if it was about the idea in the first place. If it was about proving everyone else wrong you might want to reconsider your motivations.

Having a different idea can potentially carry risk but it is what it is.

It is about idea in the first place.
