There are tons of very smart people working in academia if you want to feel smart (you wont feel smart you will feel dumb but that's good) and talk to smart people just go into grad school.

I'm sure everyone can point out how academia is far from perfect, it's full of professors who can't communicate the ideas that they're researching, terrible supervisors, incompetent departments, obvious corporate interests, but the one upside to there now being a zillion Master's and PhD students is there are a lot of people running around, engaged in relevant scholarship in a desperate bid to stand out from the crowd in order to get one of the few tenure track jobs left to a bloated pool of candidates.
