Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

"Huh...? 2013? And you're still here? Damn! And above all: what now?" All of humanity was looking forward to the Great End. For centuries, we consciously pursued an economic and ecological policy of "everything must go." So that everything would be celebrated, used up, and spent by 2012. Together, we counted down to the Apocalypse. 3... 2... 1... ! And then nothing happened. We have been historically deceived! Duped by clever "marketing mayas." Raw materials, oil, credit, original ideas for TV programs: it's all exhausted! Here we are now with a global hangover and a gigantic clean-up. What now?
