Do Not Resent Intelligence

Greetings! I am Xeeb: a xeno-demonic overlord from another dimension. My intensive study of your species continues. After identifying your primitive inclinations for self-delusion and self-division, I have now discovered an extreme fear of intelligence. The smartest and most knowledgeable among you are often treated with derision and outright hatred, especially if their insight happens to challenge established orthodoxy. Instead of trying to educate yourselves and learn all there is to know about yourselves and the world around you, the greater majority of you seem to retreat into comfortable falsehoods and what I can only describe in your terms as groupthink wisdom. This has been one of the greatest hindrances to your evolution, and must be overcome if your species is ever to reach its fullest potential. So sayeth Almighty Xeeb.
