There comes a point in every precocious, budding intellectual's life where he or she must decide whether they are truly exceptional and everyone else is wrong, or capitulate to the status quo and go under the waves of homeostatic mediocrity that the rank and file of academia seeks to enforce. The fragility of the average academic's ego cannot be understated. They are, for the most part, a motley crew of hacks, frauds, and true middle-brow bugboys who have huddled together for safety, trying desperately to sterilize any level of genius above their own (neutering Nietzsche, cauterizing Kant, whoring out Hegel, etc.)
Looks like you're about to make the right choice. Just be sure to go all the way and never sacrifice novelty or ingenuity for the sake of making sure the plebs can understand you.
