We are actually in the Mike Judge Idiocracy cyberpunk future and it terrifies me. Our president is a reality TV freak, the citizens are so science-retarded that they think Covid is a hoax, the population all sit in our homes watching testicle-kicking videos on huge TVs while drinking Mountain Dew and eating Cheetos while the world melts down outside.
- icedchai 7y agoIdiocracy was oddly prescient. I really enjoyed that movie. Now that it's reality, not so much...
- kaibee 7y agoIn Idiocracy , the president recognized his limitations and looked for the smartest person to put in charge of solving the problem.
- jandrese 7y agoMore importantly, the president was able to discern who was smart in the movie. In real life we have Jared Kushner.
- threwawasy1228 7y agoIt clearly wasn't realistic enough.
- newsbinator 7y agoThat's all true. The difference is in Idiocracy there's no fracture- everybody's an idiot and perfectly content to be one. In our time, there's still push-back to any descent into idiocracy.
- ehnto 7y agoI think we are going to have to push harder. The anti-intellectual cohort has got their preferred elected leaders in more than one country these past few years. Just because smart people exist, doesn't mean they are holding the reigns currently.
- noir_lord 7y ago> The anti-intellectual cohort has got their preferred elected leaders. I think the anti-intellectual cohort have been helped in that by the super rich who had their preferred elected leaders as well.
