The 2024+ Idiocracy was a Documentary thread

I just saw my first social media post since the US election with this trenchant observation

i was thinking about how he gave up trying to convince them to put water on plants instead of gatorade and gave up and said he coudl talk to plants and the plants said they like water . I think we may be at that point with MAGA people

my beef with idiocracy would be at least 50% less if the people having "too many" kids at the start had been fundamentalist evangelicals rather than rednecks, guess that would have meant a different (better?) film though.

one of the problems with that intro now is it's the white elitist billionaire eugenicists who are super into procreating

you'll never go broke making people feel like they're smarter than everyone else

I think the process of dumbification can actually happen without natural selection - maybe its being caused by social media much more rapidly
