I can assure you that there is no substantial correlation between intelligence and immoral/destructive behavior.
>It's not true that each genius work was created in a social vacuum - a ton of intellectual work has been done in cooperation or in close contact with others.
Yes. But two things bear in mind. First, this kind of collaborative effort is usually reserved for the hard sciences and mathematics, rather than philosophy or metaphysics. Second, these communities, and the people in them, have been monopolized by academia. This means that if you are looking for work produced within academic circles that falls outside the circle of what academia deems acceptable, you are simply not going to find it. Unfortunately, this circle is heavily guarded and excludes the vast majority of worthwhile philosophy and metaphysics. As for the rest of your post, it comes across as a little arrogant and possibly hypocritical to say "He has limited education and self-awareness." and "I don't think he'd really stand a chance against me at full power" about an author whose work you admit - in the very same paragraph - you "don't understand very much about".

You're welcome to go ahead and post it.
