Who are the fools of this world?
"Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully." (Luke 12:16 NKJV)
""And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'" (Luke 12:17 NKJV)
""So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods." (Luke 12:18 NKJV)
"'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."'" (Luke 12:19 NKJV)
""But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'" (Luke 12:20 NKJV)
""So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."" (Luke 12:21 NKJV)
The fools are obviously those who put their hope in the things of this world to the neglect of God.
