For the general public, don't even attempt to go into interesting and thought-provoking topics. The general public is usually too polite (or, too ignorant) to deal with such things.
As you go through life, you'll acquire a core group of friends who share your intellectually curiosity. In the meantime and to the rest of the world, just talk about sports and celebrity gossip bullshit. Every now and again, drop a sophisticated idea or word to test the audience with whom you're having a conversation. If anyone is smart and intellectually curious like you, they will respond positively and happily. If there is no positive response, you're dealing with sheeple so you can go back to sports and celebrity gossip.
