If I have learned anything from the first disc of the second season of Errol Morris' First Person, it's that people with really high IQ's grow up to be bouncers. Two separate episodes feature guys with IQ's over 190 with that job. We watched them out of order. One guy spent the interview trying to structure the argument that smart people make better decisions and this should influence society's structure. On his own, he failed to be particularly compelling. Being followed directly by a guy who decided to repeat his senior year 7 times did nothing to help.

And when I say decided to repeat, I mean, faked records in order to enroll in a new school every year in an attempt to get his senior year correct. Yeah, great decision making skills there.

Glibness aside, season 2 is a lot more interesting than season 1.
