Yes, in refusing to honor God as the seat of wisdom, society has made man the seat of wisdom and the measure of all things--the classic definition of secular humanism. This ultimately devolves into statism. We are here: Francis A. Schaeffer has argued, “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Compassion demands open borders.

Or welfare, or gender tolerance... and so on.

It depends on who decides who is deserving of compassion. It's not compassionate to the lawful citizens to seed their society with the lawless. It's not compassionate to the productive class to subsidize sloth by stealing the fruits of the productive class' labor.

Wisdom is compassion, directed to the proper recipients.

It is more likely because good is perfect. There are none that are perfect except Christ, The Son of God. Christians are perfect in Him, having all our sins washed away by His blood, but at the same time we are not perfect, far from it, in our actions. Christ was/is perfect in every way.

Some people have some wisdom, some more than others, but no one has perfect wisdom, except God. Jesus is God come in human flesh and had/has perfect wisdom. He is the good Son.

"Indeed, Dr. Michelle Cretella, the president of the American College of Pediatricians, says parents who place children on puberty blockers around age 11 or 12, and the doctors who support this, are engaging in “child abuse.”
And what happens when these kids become adults at the other side of puberty? How many will be completely screwed up because of the dirty little secret of transgender remorse, not to mention the underlying issues these kids would still have that were never addressed in the first place, thanks to some quack therapists and their equally dysfunctional parents indulging them in their so called gender reassiggnments? It sounds so much like a lucrative racket the psychological profession has going.

Not sure if I fully buy this.

Can an adult with an IQ of 75 have wisdom? Surely the person could have compassion.

The only true compassion is personal compassion. IOW you give of what you have to those who you think deserve it, and you use your wisdom to help you make those decisions.

The type of compassion that Prager is talking about is “delegated compassion”, where some third party, in most cases the State, steals other peoples resources to pass on to whoever the state wants.

This type of “compassion” is theft and fencing. It is a despicable act that leads to corruption, ingratitude, and a degenerate society.
