Same as you. I say this because we do not know, for sure, that being
more intelligent does not force you to be wiser. That is, I don't think
we have enough data to conclude that being intelligent allows you to get
away with not being wise. I agree that it is most likely not the case
that intelligence can be correlated with wisdom, but I don't know for
sure.
