Knowledge is suffering. Ignorance is bliss. Plus, humans.... and foxes are social creatures. You're better off in life knowing more people... or being more popular.
Since you didn't post a question, I'm going to take it as a 'same question'.
I'd rather be smart than having superior social skills, because you often don't need social skills to get good friends, because good friends will accept you just as you are. A good way to find out who a good friend, and a bad friend is.
