"I read book X and now I'm more intelligent"—no, I know that doesn't exist. What I'm looking for with this question are recommendations for books (academic and fiction), websites, apps, articles, etc., that will help me stop being a complete ignoramus about life and society.
I have no idea where I should even begin.

What are you interested in? Start there. When those books mention something you’re not familiar with, seek out books to fill in those gaps of knowledge.
The more you read or learn, the more you start to realize how vast the world’s array of knowledge really is and how little you know (or could ever know) in the grand scheme of things. I think that in itself is a mark of intelligence and something you can constantly cultivate while you reach for a more wide variety of books.
