Fair intellectual rivalry should not be seen as a thing of jealousy, but one that can encourage willing thinkers to dare the limits. Putting too high a price on someone just because the person's ours, and putting down another just because the person doesn't seem to belong, or perhaps thinks differently is not cool.
Ordinary sensible understanding, or basic intelligence may arguably not be too common, but it's nobody’s monopoly. If we make it exclusive, we are doing ourselves a big disservice, because we will end up rendering all else but ours useless, hence satisfaction with the only but avoidable recourse, and that's a means to mediocrity.
