It doesn't say that, though -- he perceives "wisdom" as senselessness and something with no "eternal meaning", in contrast to the simple pleasures of daily life, which (apparently unlike wisdom) have supernatural approval and eternal value.

That's not helpful. True wisdom doesn't ignore physical reality. It doesn't deny basic pleasures; it illuminates them. And it's the only way to find sense in the world -- directly, not just mouthing the words provided by a human authority.
