For those whose IQ is above 130, let alone 140, 150 or greater, that's 
unavoidable. The only answer seems to be using the extra points to 
leverage your way to safety and purchasing power. You could try to 
change rather than exploit the tastes and opinions of those who clamor 
for mass-market products and values, but that course doesn't have a very 
good track record. (Although Gates, Buffett and a few others are doing 
okay.)
