I wonder if the writers of "Men In Black" ever realized just how profound that line was: "A PERSON is smart; PEOPLE are stupid."

A suggestion for Brian: Forget philosophy: take a statistics class.
Not only will you feel like an idiot when you start, you'll feel like a genius when you complete it!
In the process you'll also realize that within one deviation of the mean intelligence of the population (which can be pretty deviant and mean, even on a good day) is where the majority of us are. But by actually exercising our brains with intellectual debates and philosophical discussions, we on the higher end of the scale help to bring up the average, so the fact that he has a dilemma at all is a good thing. Some of the most important questions about human nature have been raised by people who became uncomfortable with the opinions of the masses.
Besides, as I tell my children, rest on your ass, not your assumptions.
