In Idiocracy they actually valued an intelligent person and wanted him to lead them. We're living through the prequel, we even have "ow, my balls" (jackass)

They have reach the idiocracy years ago.

Right now they are far beyond this line, and the humankind don't have invented the word to describe this non existence of intelligence.

This is more than just being stupid its creating an actual philosophy and social movement that is ideologically opposed to intelligence as a concept.

Also, Idiocracy is Baby's First Eugenics, with a large side dish of classist bullshit.

Seriously, everyone who likes that movie needs to go and watch it again without the rose tinted glasses. It's a movie about how "intelligence" (a basically unquantifiable concept) is 100% genetic, and if we let the stupid people (portrayed in the movie using visual signifiers of the working class rather than, say, wealthy idiots like the Winklevoss Twins) breed too much civilization will collapse. This is literally some Ayn Rand "the stupid poors will be helpless without smart billionaires to guide them" nonsense. It's Atlas Shrugged for stoned teenagers.

Do you want to know who was really, really into this idea that you needed to force more "smart" humans to have babies, for the good of civilization? Jeffery Epstein.

Another big fan? Elon Musk. That's why he has, like, seventeen kids, all sex selected to be male. He genuinely thinks he's improving the gene pool with his progeny.
