Well, we're made out of meat, so I try not to expect too much. We'll always be savannah survival machines, at least until we do a lot of genetic self-engineering. Superstition is a survival trait.

But don't knock the technology piece. Humans may not be very good at thinking, but we're definitely better at it when we're safe, warm, and well fed. Especially so if that's what we've had a lifetime of.

Maybe this is a little too engineer-y of me, but I think if we want wisdom, we have to construct environments where people naturally produce wisdom.
