The idiot is always the other! But aren't we all idiots at times? What makes our brains regularly function contrary to common sense? And why do some people develop such a personality by granting themselves rights to the disregard of those around them? Are there remedies for stupidity? Under a somewhat provocative title, In the Head of an Idiot explores these questions in depth, thanks to a series of fun experiments and the informed opinions of specialists in human behavior. Stupidity has never been as visible as it is today. It is displayed without complexes on social networks and in reality TV shows. What fascinates us about this spectacle? Probably the disturbing pleasure of proving to ourselves that there is always someone more stupid than us? Some decide to free themselves from common rules to behave like one, in a selfish and narcissistic manner. A leading figure among those who make money from human stupidity, Jean-Marie Bigard gives his testimony in the show. From one transgression to another, the show explores the mechanisms that lead to developing this type of personality and the reactions it provokes in its victims. Because the asshole provokes much greater indignation than the often limited harm he causes us. The proof is in a sequence where an actor plays the idiot in the middle of innocent victims. We also discover that stupidity is contagious. It is difficult to resist it, for example, when you are behind the wheel. Two female drivers from Valais have the courage to speak openly about it. Among the experts who put the different subjects into perspective is psychologist Jean-François Marmion, author of Psychologie de la Connerie (Editions sciences humaines). 00:00: What does it mean to be stupid? 13:19: Social experiment 16:40: Idiots behind the wheel 24:06: Does the idiot have good reasons to be one? 31:05: Why are we idiots? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RTS - Radio Télévision Suisse is the French-speaking public service media in Switzerland.
