Watch who breeds and who doesn't.
Watch the genealogy chart of the "smart" shrink, while the chart of the "dumb" expands.
Buy it so you can watch it a few times to pick up the nuances..
It is a somewhat vulgar, but very timely movie.
I have seen that movie, and concluded that we are 80% there.
Idiocracy oz fine, but completely falls apart if you look too closely at the premise. Firstly it’s just plain wrong on evolution. Secondly I kept expecting it to turn out that a few smarties were secretly running the country. A nation if idiots could live off the accumulated capital of our cibilization for a while. It’s easier to maintain electricity or the combustion engine, for instance, once you’ve invented them. And the idiots in the movie weren’t doing we’ll.
Still, they seemed to be doing too well for their abilities. They have a crop crisis, buildings are falling, you can escape from prison by telling a guard today is your release day, etc. But I think they’d all have starved to death by then in the real world.
Thirdly and finally they associated idiocy with Big Business, which makes sense in the sense that Carl’s Jr., Starbucks, or whatever, cater to idiots. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can be an idiot and run a corporation. Perhaps the CEO and any number of executives can be idiots, but someone somewhere has to know what they’re doing. This is also why I expected hidden smart people.
Maybe there was no central management and each individual franchise outlet ran itself autonomously, sorta carried on by inertia. But no, it takes some intelligence to run small businesses, surely. Not much to offer a shelter within which you give sexual release, but something to keep feeding people for as long as the idiots have lived.
