"Antoine is a very smart young man. He begins to wonder...what would happen if he became stupid?"
"Comment survivre dans le monde cruel du libéralisme triomphant quand on est, comme Antoine, un jeune homme lucide et moral ? Après avoir essayé en vain de devenir alcoolique et avoir renoncé au suicide, il décide de devenir stupide pour être heureux."
"... "Tu veux dire, prononça lentement Ganja en mâchant des graines médicinales, tu veux dire que tu as été stupide d'essayer d'être si intelligent, que c'était à côté de la plaque, et que devenir un peu stupide, c'est ça qui serait intelligent ..." Antoine a beau être diplômé d'araméen, de biologie et de cinéma, il n'en est pas plus heureux. Et, selon lui, ce sont précisément son intelligence et sa lucidité qui lui gâchent l'existence. Aussi décide-t-il d'arrêter de penser. Il envisage d'abord de devenir alcoolique, mais, dès le premier verre, il sombre dans un coma éthylique. Il s'intéresse ensuite au suicide, mais la mort ne l'attire décidément pas. Reste l'acte ultime: la crétinisation. Loin de tout moralisme, avec humour et détachement, Martin Page pointe les contradictions contre lesquelles nous nous battons tous, pour peu que nous tentions de réfléchir."
