There might be times when we do well to imitate Paul in speaking with a little #foolishness, but it certainly should not define us.
We should also interpret and apply anything from 2 Corinthians 11:1-12:13 accordingly.

Even at my age, the inner 9-year-old still exists.
I hope it does in you, too.
From 2 Corinthians 11:1-12:13, Paul addressed the Corinthian Christians in a "little #foolishness," speaking in ways he might not otherwise do so because of the kinds of matters he was compelled to address.
In 2 Corinthians 11:1-15, he would thus speak about being not less than the "super-apostles," how he would not be ashamed of not being a burden to them, and how his opponents were false apostles leading them astray.

"The Atlantic’s David Frum discusses the American seizure of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and President Donald Trump’s deeply flawed thinking about Venezuelan oil. David argues that Trump’s worldview of exploitation and predation is likely to doom his ambitions in Venezuela rather than secure them.
David is then joined by the national-security analyst David Rothkopf to examine the U.S. military operation in Venezuela and the Trump administration’s alarming lack of a coherent plan for what comes next. Rothkopf explores what it means for a president to sideline or altogether ignore the National Security Council before launching a major military action. Together, Rothkopf and Frum speculate about possible outcomes of the Maduro operation that Trump appears not to have considered.
Finally, David closes with his thoughts on Rudyard Kipling’s “Recessional” and the poem’s warning about national boasting, overreach, and the perils of collective foolishness."—The Atlantic.
