And, well, I still like the movie, but now it seems the basic idea got a few things wrong. In the beginning it explains why that movie future got as stupid as it is by showing an educated couple who never manage to have children because they spend too much time to first get their education and then concentrating on their careers, compared to some trailer trash couple who keep on popping out child after child after child, and explain how the IQ of the nation kept dropping because of that.

Well, of course to start with, that is not exactly how inheritance of intelligence actually works (JD Vance...), it's a bit more complicated than that - and in reality also the really high IQ individuals are actually often enough dropouts because the current school system is not actually well equipped to deal with them. But then when it comes to those somewhat higher than average people who can excel in the current system, what we can now see is that it's not exactly teaching them much of value.

While among the people who keep on having kids are lots more people than just the stupid version of the trailer trash, also people who are religious, have solid old fashioned values, work in trades and not in offices...

That Idiocracy future should maybe have had an upper class of idiots who keep destroying a majority of the kids by forcing them into their schools from as young an age as possible, and then ruining their critical thinking skills that way... Well, we almost got there. The save that seems to have happened now really looks pretty much as if it was a Hail Mary pass.

Hm. Is that the movie we have been watching?
