I see. Well, I'd like to categorize myself in the upper echelon of education myself and I occasionally listen to lil' wayne or rick ross because they say hilarious shit. I've also had relationships with pretty dumb women who just liked to party. I see it as sort of an escape from what I do everyday. Everyday i'm with people who are smarter than me or who are just as smart as me who constantly push my thinking to higher levels. It can be mentally exhausting at times and I try not to discuss medicine 24/7 because I try to achieve balance in my life.
I think a good rule of thumb is to break it down into a fraction spend 33% of time with people smarter than you, 33% of time with people on the same level as you and 33% of your time with people dumber than you. Just my opinion on the matter.
