1. The movie is a work of genius. |
|
I don't know how edited it will be, but everyone who hasn't seen it should.

3. The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate |
|
Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.

4. Saw a great comment about it on DU awhile ago: "I didn't realize it was going to be a documentary" |

7. While funny, the movie buys into a racist social darwinian conception of evolution |
|
Social Darwinism has latched onto some racist presumptions about the genetic inheritance of intelligence. If you ever stumble across current racial supremacist websites, you'll find a theory of human intelligence that pretty much matches up with Idiocracy's premise. I've had a couple of otherwise intelligent friends say that they were afraid that's where the human race is headed because of how Jerry Springerfied pop culture is becoming, as if dumb people don't ever have intelligent kids.
But that said, it's a fucking hilarious movie.
No go 'way. Baitin'.
