It seems like the dystopian world shown in the movie Idiocracy is inevitable.

  And yet, GP shows that nerds do emerge in a family of idiots. There is quite a bit of jitter in the genetics of human intelligence.

    To me that comment reads as though genetic predisposition has little to nothing to do with it. It's all about nurture; nurturing curiosity, encouraging academic achievement and hard thought. These are in no way genetic traits or predispositions, so please leave the eugenics out of it.

      Idiocracy has a purely genetic premise. I'm saying even that isn't strongly hereditary. Cultural heredity even less so.

        I didn't say it would happen for the same reasons depicted in a clearly fictional film.
