It usually goes the other way around. People who are guided by their intellect only show moral degeneration

Moral and ethical values are transitory and they change with time, place and mind-set....they are basically to tame the animal in us.
intellectual progress has nothing to do with morals....even a highly intellectual person may be immoral in society's eyes

clearly not.... personally, i think as average intellegence in the west has improved, so the morality has declined.
i suppose this is because as people become more aware of their environment, they become more obsessed with the self (a concept developed since 1920s, but also a human trait). and selfishness has become a higher priority that morality and govts look more towards satisfing that precept instead of actually being responsible...

Heck no. Haven't you ever heard of evil geniuses? Lots of extremely brilliant people have been decidedly lacking in morals.

the two have nothing to do with each other.
You could be the dumbest person in the world and have good morals or the smartest person in the world and have good morals.
