Are ghost lights demonic?

I watched a youtube video about the brown mountain lights, and apparently they are linked to feelings of dread, and murders.

Are they demonic spirits masquerading as ghosts or natural phenomena, and therefore require exorcisms?

Are social skills lesser than things like math and philosophy?

I know technically social skills can be a science or derived from philosophy, but when I say social, I mean “street smarts”.

It always seemed to me that social abilities seem to leach off the accomplishments of actual labor.

For example a king has authority, but he is in no way capable of inventing new weapons to defend his kingdom most of the time, nor did he work the hardest, come up with new inventions. Yet he is treated disproportionally well.

In another place, a person who can make others laugh an be happy and hold a conversation might have just as close of a bond with many people as another person who has saved said people’s’ lives.

A person can much more easily make money as a smooth talking business man or even good communication than a capable engineer even though the engineer provides the value.

With God, Jesus is king because He is the most high, but with human, why does the act of talking the right way and manipulating people through words have such a disproportionate utility compared to other skills? By making others do things for you and skipping out on the hard work yourself?

I was curious on potentially mastering my social abilities, but wouldn’t studying philosophy or science be a far more valuable pursuit than speaking better words and making other hard working people do things on my behalf? Is that really a talent worth the same as say being a musician?

Should I count preaching as social skills? Perhaps that shows I am completely wrong.
