Idiocracy is real.
“Idiocracy is real.”
We are, in fact, essentially there.
[I only saw the movie a year or so ago.]
When I was in high school ...we would light the coal lamps and read from BOOKS .... I know that sounds odd ...(we really had electric lights)
One of the books that left an impression on me was...
The Peter Principle
How everyone rises to their level of “incompetence”.
I have watched for this as I have moved through life , and have found it to be unwavering ...... it's true.
Not 100% but more often than not.
Even in my own life, as long as I was doing a good job, handling everything with ease .... up the chain I went...
fortunately for me I retired before I actually hit my “incompetence” ... but just barely.
I think that's one reason everyone thinks their boss is an idiot ... most are.
Of course what we are seeing now days is absolutely more in line with the documentary you mentioned
