Modern science fiction usually portrays the future world as a shiny utopia of science and advanced learning. Either that, or it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by science gone amok or man's own arrogance. Idiocracy takes a look at where the world's headed right now and says forget it. None of that's going to happen, we're just going to get really stupid.
Think about it. Who has the most kids? Stupid people. They're out their breeding like rabbits while geniuses spend their time developing a cure for male pattern baldness. That's the gist of the hilarious opening sequence to Idiocracy. The smartest, the most fit among us no longer procreate while the stupid screw their brains out ensuring that the human race as a whole gets stupider and stupider and stupider. Without any natural predators to thin the herd; with science, welfare, and television keeping the dumbest alive, healthy, and happy enough to remain potent we're done for. Evolution will take its course and centuries from now we'll become a planet full of Bam Margeras.
