The stupidity of brilliance

THE THESIS: In the era of credentialism, virtue signaling and godlessness, people who have been granted intellectual gifts by God display impressive stupidity. They are wise in their own eyes. 

THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 

Ecclesiastes 2:15

Then I said to myself, “As is the fate of the fool, it will also befall me. Why then have I been extremely wise?” So I said to myself, “This too is vanity.”

Proverbs 3:7

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

    fear the Lord and shun evil.
