In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.
Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.
Idiocracy was too optimistic. it supposes that when people are having problems they will realize, realize they can’t fix it, and try to find someone who knows more than them to fix them
Not just that but the story also suggests that the US can fail so terribly while still functioning to be able to still host monster truck rallies and have a working water system that can pump millions of gallons of mountain dew
It’s also not how genetics works. Smart people don’t only have smart children and dumb people don’t only have dumb children.
People evolved from ape-like predecessors. Would you say the children of a predecessor and the children of a modern human are equally likely to be of a similar intelligence?
Nah. The existence of evolution in no way validates your pseudo-science racism. Billions of years of natural selection doesn’t equate to your garbage notion that “certain people” shouldn’t procreate.
When did I say that only certain types of people shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce?
I’m antinatalist, I don’t think anyone should be allowed to being life into the world, which is filled with so much suffering, without the consent of the child.
Regardless, I was just disputing the claim that intelligence is in no way a heritable trait.
Why not both?
