HOW WE ARE ALL CONTRIBUTING TO THE LACK OF INTELLIGENCE IN THE SOCIETY

About this sermon

Has society stopped rewarding intelligence? In this thought-provoking episode of The Classified, Femi Lazarus sits down with Dr Ogunyomi Opeyemi for a deep conversation on the growing perception that modern society celebrates speed over depth, popularity over wisdom, and low-effort success over genuine intellectual excellence. Are we becoming anti-intellectual? Has social media changed the way we value knowledge? Is critical thinking disappearing in an age of instant gratification? And what does this mean for education, leadership, creativity, innovation, and the future of society? Together, they explore the cultural shifts shaping how we think, learn, and define success, while asking difficult questions about whether intelligence is still respected—or simply overlooked. Whether you're a student, educator, entrepreneur, creative, leader, or lifelong learner, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to think more deeply about the world around you. In this episode: - Is society becoming anti-intellectual? - Why low-effort content often outperforms thoughtful ideas. - The hidden cost of instant gratification. - The role of social media in shaping intelligence and attention. - Why critical thinking matters more than ever. - Can intelligence still thrive in today's culture? - How individuals can cultivate wisdom in a distracted world.
