Not speaking for/from the op, but:
Proverbs 3:5-6 (the verses you referenced) in context seem to be broadly an appeal to humility*, to know that you do not know, like Socrates.
But also an appeal to the true source of wisdom: a genuinely external force, source, or really, entity, that is YHWH.
If this entity is not real or cannot be communed with, then this is obvious absurdity.
BUT… if He is real, and we CAN know Him… then hypothetically, nothing could be better, and no greater state of humility exist than submitting oneself directly to He who is above all things.
*(this seems to be exactly what the aforementioned “trust the science” crowd, and bad-science in general, is lacking: you cannot search for what you think you already have)
