Give them a 100 zillion page source code.
Commented very clearly, as follows:

// renormalize collective volition based on best place to live in 40 billion
years
bool COLVOL_Dynamic (belief * humanbelief, belief * correctbelief, int
threshold)
{
    if (humanbelief->silliness >= threshold) // are you a fool
    {
        // this is what you'd believe if you weren't stupid
        humanbelief->content = correctbelief->content;
        return true; //pass back true to increase fools_count
    }
    return false; // ok whatever.
}
