Is it wrong I want to be so smart that I intimidate and borderline frighten people?

I don't think I would be intimidated by someone if they were only smarter than me. Now, if they acted on their intelligence in a way that may affect me (building new weapons and what not), then there might be cause for concern.
You don't have to be smart to twist and break minds. Also, it depends on how you want to define what's right and wrong.
Personally I like to listen to peoples philosophies on life, morals and other things in college. I then like to try an break their philosophy and explain to them why it is wrong. If they listen long enough I like to try an replace their philosophy with another that's much harder to accept emotionally or logically. It's quite fun to watch people try an reorganize long held beliefs all in a instant. You get a slight glimpse into how the mind works when that happens.
It's what I do at school sometimes when I am bored.

Just be yourself. Everyone is a genius in one way or another. I wouldn't be intimidated by extremely intelligent people, unless they made it obvious that they think they're better than you...
It's not wrong to want it, especially since it's extremely unlikely that you are ever going to obtain it. And that's not a dig at you, that's just a natural fact for most people, myself included.
Also, what is with you creating threads with the angle that you're so awesome/smart/different?
To be honest, you just sound like a dick... Nobody will like you if you are constantly trying to break down their life views. Not to mention the fact that you're likely not nearly as successful at doing so as you think you are. If you keep acting like that you'll eventually just become an anti-social outcast because nobody likes being around somebody who will try and act like that all the time.

Troll thread.
You have a mighty ego there.
Staying on topic here, what you wish to do doesn't take that much knowledge. Manipulation is practiced by the worst that humanity has to offer, hell I wouldn't be surprised to find out that trump uses it daily.
What truly takes knowledge would be cutting edge science like quantum mechanics, a field that has presented itself almost impossible to understand.
