Nah, we’re never gonna get to idiocracy. The movie’s premise rides on the idea that intelligence is a heritable trait, or a measurable quantity. It is more the case, I have observed, that people are idiots by necessity. You know, it’s uhh, difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. It’s pretty easy to just call everyone stupid, and then move on, but it’s much harder to understand specifically why they’re stupid.
