“But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.”

Simplified Meaning:

Just because smart people were sometimes made fun of doesn't mean everyone who gets laughed at is smart. People mocked famous inventors like Columbus, Fulton, and the Wright brothers, but they also made fun of a silly clown named Bozo.
