Let's think about the many inventions, philosophical insights into wisdom, and human progressions creativity has sparked.
As for us thinking for ourselves, or critical thought, I have learned that is mired in psychological human traits/failings, such as programming, denial, ego, power corruption, need to be validated, biases, etc. That too needs to be considered when determining what intelligence/wisdom entails, IMO.
Indeed!
Another point I personally think is important to mention is that if you are intelligent then you can explain yourself in a simple way because you know what you are talking about, and therefore you don't need a lot of unnecessary words to explain your point.
