High intelligence doesn’t necessarily correlate to high awareness.
You may come up with all sorts of reasonable arguments and conjectures to justify your actions, decisions, or feelings about particular circumstances. However, it might be that your rational capacities have been hijacked by impulses you’re unconscious of to steer you towards a certain end.
You may believe you are in control, but in reality, it is fear, prejudice, pride, or internalized beliefs that are running the show using your intellect to achieve their ends.
