As a stable super genius myself, I'm going to go ahead and say they're probably not as smart as you think they are. ?
God bless you for hanging in there with them, but know that the only cure for ignorance is humility, and some people, often those who consider themselves intelligent, lack this personality trait due to self preservation of the ego.
I often think of true intelligence as a wagon wheel: It's composed of many spokes representing different areas of "knowledge".
Empathy, humility, self-awareness, curiosity, kindness, etc are just as essential spokes as science, literature, politics, finance, etc. And there are a lot of "smart" people riding around in bumpy wagons.
Your path might be longer and more fraught with peril, but I'm willing to bet it's smoother and more Graceful.

Great explanation. Absolutely love it. Gonna have to steal this one.
Sincerest form of flattery; all I say is on the shoulders of giants. Steal away!
