Paul isn’t claiming foolishness because he’s lost his mind, he’s drawing it out to show a contrast with his rivals. It’s foolishness to try and be a “super apostle” because all apostles should point to Christ, not themselves. So Paul launches into his own credentials, holding it up against those who were against him. It’s a goofy comparison, and that’s exactly what he wanted to Corinthians to see.
