The smartest ones are the ones they are most threatened by.

Is this really that common? Even yesterday I was talking to some friends about this, are people really more agressive towards "smarter" people just because they feel threatened?

I try to be the most open I can and learn the most from people that I feel are smarter than me. But it seems that it is not the norm, even with "non-tech" people.
