People who think Idiocracy is how evolution works are less-informed and more dangerous than creationists. The idea that society is collapsing because people are “breeding wrong” is historically competitive with any religion for getting innocent people slaughtered.

You’re assuming that species evolve indefinitely. All fail eventually. There were lots of extinct creatures who lived with alligators and armadillos way back when. They either failed to adapt to change or were eliminated by an external force. I think we have an evil external force working againt humanity, but I have no evidence for it and realize it sounds crazy.

I don’t think there is any other movie that is as pro eugenics. I see where they are coming from but also I don’t think that’s how intelligence and geans work. This was discussed as a possibility in the early 1900s however I think it was more the crime gean or the unemployment gean. Both where discredited.
