Overview
Being well educated and being intelligent are not necessarily the same thing, so do not assume that someone is smarter than you are just because they can spout off about philosophy, science, religion or other intellectual pursuits. When you come face to face with someone who has a reputation for being knowledgeable, be confident that you can hold your own in a conversation! You two are a meeting of two different minds -- and yours is full of ideas that deserve equal attention.
