Isn't there a short story like this where the smart guy's solution is to send 99% of the dumb humans into rockets to colonize the stars, except they don't have working rockets and basically just mass-execute most of the population by shooting them into the sun
Yeah the ship accidentally crash lands on what will become earth and the idiots found humanity.

The initial society dies out because of a dirty telephone.
Other than the US which is on a downward spiral, the most successful countries in the world are ethnically homogeneous. Unless you consider Brazil to be a good example for multiculturalism.
>despite being the butt of much of its humor
It’s weird that redditors can’t understand why other people don’t go insane when people make fun of them a little.
The movie is the version where basically the NAZI's ran the world, which ensured everything became so moronic, it all stopped working, but they were too moronic to see it as self-proclaimed geniuses, so Joe Averagemen points it out to them, which blows their mind.
Even the author knows it's an unpopular opinion. Read the sub he's in. He's making an argument because it can be made. Doesn't mean even he believes it. He even concedes it's more lazy than problematic. Guess you never did debate team.
If you read Marching Morons, it will explain why it actually happened. In Idiocracy, they kind of hide it and dumb it way down, but it's there at the very beginning of the movie.
Idiocracy went with the easier way to wave off who gets it all started (listen to the narrator and ask yourself why he is saying any of it as they blame Clevon), since it is a movie meant to be entertaining, the story needed restructuring to NOT appear to be Marching Morons (10% difference, holla up!).
But it did retain the basic stuff from the short story, but you have to look close. It's the reverse of the short story on how it is presented. In the short story, protagonist is baffled by the actual morons running society (and who ran it up to that point he went to sleep), and in the movie, it's not about the actual morons but "we live in a society of morons" that apparently just went downhill. Joe Averageman then becomes the good guy in the movie, which is backwards from the story (everyone is a moron, but there are levels of moronicity).
Judge does wisely keep the scientist part at the beginning, but swaps in the military for it. Like I said, it's dumbed way, way down from the story. And it works just fine for that.
I wouldn't mind an actual fairly strict adaptation on the screen.
The Idiocracy universe must have had self sustaining AI. That's the only way the cars, TVs, etc could still work despite the population being too dumb to tie their shoes. This is a likely outcome if AI becomes self sustaining. The population devolves into a permanent useless blob. If AI doesn't become self sustaining then we will probably have an epic collapse and have to start over from iron age level technology.
This is a good explanation, in the movie most people cant even solve basic puzzles made for kids yet how are they supposed to be able to keep most of the technology running in game? The only other explanation would be that it was just america that became that dumb and they somehow got help from the outside/outsourced all of that shit to other nations (as in,they would build the tech,occasion come and repair,maintain etc in exchange for a fee/resources)
But that makes no sense, smart parents don't produce smart children, they are just systematically better educated with more exposure.
Collective IQ shouldn't drop at a genetic level from lower class people reproducing, yet in the movie they are all morons.
>Collective IQ shouldn't drop at a genetic level from lower class people reproducing, yet in the movie they are all morons.
IQ didn't drop only from lower class people reproducing, more important was that inteligent people didn't reproduce.
>But that makes no sense, smart parents don't produce smart children, they are just systematically better educated with more exposure.
That's the real message of the movie and the stuff with genetics was just a joke that people took too seriously.
The critique was at consumerist culture and vapid americana garbage. The president in particular was named "Mountain Dew" and was satire of the ongoing trend at that time to make celebrities governors (like Jesse Ventura and Arnold).
Oh no, how will they survive with a meager 1 billion people instead of 1.4 billion. That isn't the issue causing western nations to decline at all, you're a moron falling for the "we need more people" meme.
China models itself after Nazi Germany and as soon as there's no America trying to police the planet, they could go all the way and get rid of undesirables in massive numbers.
Are you dumb? Old people don't contribute to the economy they drain ressources occupy hospitals and so on.
It's not about absolute numbers but proportions. And proportionally they will have to allocate most ressources to elderly care nursing homes and so on. >China models itself after Nazi Germany and as soon as there's no America trying to police the planet, they could go all the way and get rid of undesirables in massive numbers.
Weird power fantasy. Brown or /misc/?
How the frick is that a power fantasy and does me describing China and how they operate make me brown or a board full of people that don't like China?

Either you don't know how to spell the word "rot" or you're so fat you couldn't lift your finger off fast enough
It does. All the people saying that is going to happen are white shills who are fooled by the Chinese government
They paint the ground green or put rocks on sticks so it looks like someone is farming from satellite images
Chinese labor has been increasing and now moving to Mexico because its cheaper and you can see this by the Peso going to one of its highest values against the American dollar while places like Japan are losing value against the American dollaw
It was a 2006 projection on the direction that American culture is heading in based on Mike Judges own observations that a man of average intelligence in 2006 would be hailed as a genius in the distant future based on their standardized IQ testing. Mike Judge said in interviews that the movie was inspired by a day trip that he made to DisneyLand (or Disney World?) and experienced some unpleasant behavior while standing in-line at The Mad Tea Party ride.
if anything it was too optimistic
it downplayed how much dumb amerisharts worship gangsters. there would be widespread gang violence, not just lazy dumb people.
how would you remake this movie? I would replace maya rudolph with megan thee stallion. After waking in the future, she applies for a job at a strip club where she discovers her latent talent for twerking. Naturally she gets famous because in the future people worship brappers. That's how she ends up meeting the president and saving the day
it has no mesage wtf it's jus a dum move
Care about asses and why they fart
The low-intelligence masses have poor impulse control and breed like rats while the intelligent and capable are more reluctant to take on the responsibility of parenthood.
the future is stupid, brown, and vaguely mexican
How did Mike Judge predict the future of America so accurately?
Anyone paying attention could see it coming from a mile away.
White men do turn me on when their racist. Wtf why?
Because you're a homosexual with low self esteem. And nothing that he's saying is racist.
>their racist.
their racist what?
rare right wing kino
Don’t be stupid, be a smartie, come and join the Nazi party.
And what exactly are the Nazis going to do? They had their shot and failed miserably.
Face it, kiddo. Things are better now than they've ever been, you're just too lazy and bitter to enjoy the ride.

IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE A DOCUMENTARY
The world will be destroyed without the practice of eugenics
Eugenics were practiced a lot from 1900 to 1945 and it didn't work. What now, Wannabe Goebbels?
>What now
See film for what now homosexual
>Eugenics were practiced a lot from 1900 to 1945 and it didn't work.
isn't CRISPR just an extension of eugenics?
CRISPR is merely a technology. It could be used for eugenic purposes but that would be moronic since eugenics is a flawed model based on bad science.
>it didn't work
then why would the entire world go to war against 1 country because "it doesn't work lol"
>it didn't work
There's a reason why Scandinavians look so good, tall and strong (account for majority strongman competitions)
Other than the US which is on a downward spiral, the most successful countries in the world are ethnically homogeneous. Unless you consider Brazil to be a good example for multiculturalism.
GO AWAY IM BAITIN
You talk like a gay and your shit's all moronic

Nice
>wake up moron! we have dumb shit to do!
>*guitar riff*
>*screen fades*
>*moronicity 2077 logo appears*
>Evolution does not reward intelligence
I'd disagree on that
The majority of Animals survive based and strength, intelligence and adaptability
yeah but only if there are natural predators which we humans don't have
Intelligence is an evolutionary disadvantage in humans
The Idiocracy universe must have had self sustaining AI. That's the only way the cars, TVs, etc could still work despite the population being too dumb to tie their shoes. This is a likely outcome if AI becomes self sustaining. The population devolves into a permanent useless blob.

'Civilization' has a sort of inertia. You see it throughout history
There hasn't been a single period in our known history that's comparable to the last 50-100 years

Intelligence is inherited to a certain extent. It's well studied.
>trust the experts

Don’t have kids.

There's a hereditary association of IQ of around 60-70%.
People are stupid
I wish they didn't explain everything at the start. Would have been better to have little clues along the way.
That Maya Rudolph is hot occasionally.
Eugenics is real and important.
Good things don't just happen by accident.
That America doomed the entire world.
>doomed the entire world.
America/the west falling apart is not dooming the entire world. Chinese century soon
China has western problems times ten. Oldest population in the world.
Oh no, how will they survive with a meager 1 billion people instead of 1.4 billion. That isn't the issue causing western nations to decline at all, you're a moron falling for the "we need more people" meme.
