Several years ago, in my job as a water treatment engineer, I was sent to inspect and certify a building's pipework and water. I arrived on site and introduced myself to the site manager with "Hi, I've been sent to ascertain the state of the pipework here and test the water." This elicited no end of amusement from him, calling me 'Professor' for the rest of the day because I'd used a three syllable word to him...... Sad but true story. I've loved Idiocracy the movie for many years.

I worked on a labouring site when I was 15, and one of the wheel barrows couldn't be used cuz it had a little hole in it, so I put a cigarette nub end in it and the supervisor said "ahh u know what that's called don't ya?" I said "ingenui......" (he cut me off) "it's called USING YA NOGGIN'" lol suffice it to say, the wheel balloon was used from then on along with all the rest of the half working equipment

I believe that Fox didn't push this movie due to the fear of backlash from corporations who are skewered in this film. I think they liked satire but that too many of the points were too close to home for comfort. I speculate that they would rather take a 20 million dollar hit over alienating potential corporate sponsors on future projects. Just my two cents.

[@justcallmemike1192]

Antaine Ó hÓgáin well after seeing a lot of of advocates on the left and right side of the political spectrum. Countries will eventually be run by celebrities. Since many people invest most of their time in social media and digital Magazines. No one really cares to have discussions about art and literature. When in reality music art today is just materialized by a corporation. Modern art is just scribbles that are plastered onto a canvas. Literature books might as well just be paperweight in today’s society. No one really talks formal English or Anglo English. Most english sentences today is simplified and substitute for slangs and phrases. However I do have a theory on how idiocracy can be in reality. If you look at the people in idiocracy and then look at the rural small towns or low income neighborhoods in America. You have teen pregnancies, homicidal crimes, and theft. The people in most of the small towns are also low in the education system and live off the governments welfare system such as social security. Even though most of them don’t invest their money wisely and don’t buy stocks. They tend to just drivel into mindless entertainment. Now look at the age demographic between 18-29 years old. Most of them are into hookups (could get pregnant), mindless entertainment (reality tv), social media (social engineering), and celebrities (Influencers). Meaning those adults eventually will tend to get dumbfounded by modern art and modern literature. That they start to accept modern art and modern literature as their culture. No one cares for traditional art forms and traditional literature. Because no one invests in their time in traditionalism. However it will probably take 600 years for us to live under a government system run by corporations. “Remember fellow citizens Red Bull give planes wings” I could see dumb children being indoctrinated by that slogan. Therefore those children will believe it. History books will be thrown away and will be substituted with iPads that have banners that says buy “red bull it gives you wings and it’s made up of Taurine”

Topics you might want to look up include but are not limited to when to use capital letters (such as at the beginning of a sentence or when using proper names), the correct usage of quotation marks (not for emphasis; and when used to denote titles, generally only for shorter works), the correct usage of ellipses (which are made of three periods and no spaces), the correct use of articles ( "the title of the movie" not "the title of movie"), and, of course, spelling (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Dave Cullen is an idiot who sees socialism in the film when it is the opposite. It's rather like turn-of-the-century 19/20th century corporation monopolies. Stocks in socialism? What the hell was he thinking? Does he think a truly socialist economy would even let the worth of a state-corporation to go down? The entire problem of state-controlled corporation is that they AREN'T allowed to fail and they languish.

[@brianwalendy3735]

[@TarsonTalon]

@@CrabTastingMan The stock market is a government invention with the intention of selling government bonds, and they threatened rich people and companies with high taxes if they did not participate in it. Also, I suppose never heard of China's 'zombie companies'? These are corporations that are not allowed to fail naturally, but they also never turn in a profit. This results in an overall drain on the economy, because other companies cannot compete with one that gets free government money. You act like the state can bend reality. It doesn't matter if they LET a state-corporation fail, it eventually WILL, specifically when the government itself fails. Hilariously, the most successful example of socialism is...wait for it..NAZI (NATIONAL SOCIALIST) GERMANY. But make no mistake, people definitely DID die. They stole from the Jews for resources, and killed them to conserve said resources. But, it would have eventually failed regardless if they won the war or not.

[@JohnCena-le1jj]

@@baldrickthedungspreader3107 What? Of course it cannot measure creativity, but intelligence is necessary for creativity to be useful, and IQ is the most accurate available predictor of intelligence which has been positively correlated not only with academic performance, but socioeconomic status, and negatively with criminality and fertility. If intelligence, the ability to acquire and utilize information, which has distinguished humanity from lower animals and allowed it dominion over the earth, sea, and sky, allowed it to erect great cities of metal and glass, to communicate instantaneously from two opposite ends of the Earth, and to plumb the stars, then what the hell gives humans worth?!?!?!?!

President Camacho is a very good leader though. He realizes they are in trouble and too stupid to fix it, so he finds the smartest person he can and gives him the power to actually fix things. When the plan causes an economic meltdown its not unreasonable to blame the guy that inadvertently caused it. But when the plan works he is strong enough to admit he was wrong and give Not Sure full credit. We should be so lucky to have a leader like Camacho.

Really, Trump IS Camacho; a populist leader that does cede to his experts, especially Mattis, was in the WWE, seems really dumb, but is actually pretty effective at what he does. That being said, the cautionary aspect is missing because Trump is not the one causing the problems in America today; it's the Lying Left. If the Left would not have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I might be more inclined to criticize him more. Now, I have to back Trump simply because the Left is insane and underhanded.

"Intelligence and human greatness emerge out of competition and as a result of overcoming some form of conflict and adversity." So are we just going to ignore the centuries of examples of erudite scholars who contributed more to science and philosophy BECAUSE they were born into a privileged life and were thus encouraged to pursue higher education both as a profession and as an intellectually stimulating pursuit? You don't need competition and adversity to make people want to learn, you just need to teach them that learning can actually be fun and engaging.

[@thesollylama130]

Not so much 'fun and engaging' but rather....USEFUL. That is where the point of anti-intellectualism comes into play. People today can't survive 20 seconds without some form of technology, and yet intellectualism and education are not only ignored but often decried by populists. The smartest among us, the people that dedicate their lives to discovery or learning are often the least trusted. People fear what they don't understand, and we live in an increasingly complex world at the same time as a general shrinking away from education required to understand it. A great example is when Penn and Teller got 'anti-chemical activists' to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide-- water. They lacked the basic scientific education to recognize H20 and more importantly- rather than spend the time being educated on science, choose to spend their time being 'educated' on anything that is simply anti-establishment. Science is hard, appeals to emotion are easy. This is why people will claim doctors are corrupt for making good money, but then throw any amount of money at quack therapies that don't work- simply because it is anti-establishment. Whether or not something actually works or is even plausible is not the primary metric being used to judge. You see this now in politics where the new fashion is being totally unqualified for the position somehow became exactly the qualification that matters. I guess given the choice between corruption and incompetence, people are more willing to forgive incompetence. Even though the end result is the same- bad for the people.

Corporate monopolies is exactly what you get with unregulated capitalism. Survival of the fittest for companies. At some point there may only be a few suppliers of...let's say food left (Nestle as a mega company with tons of sub-branches) the wealth accumulates in these companies and god forbid they use that money to influence/bribe politicians, regulators and eventualy either eliminate the competition or cut up the market so they can coexist without competing. That is the end stage of capitalism and it is basically how the US operates today. Companies and rich folks get what they want by -bribing- donating to politicians or parties while massively popular policies are completely ignored. The problem I see with this movie is the idea that intellect is dependant on your genetics. While it's possible to have an influence, the most important factor is obviously your uppringing. Do your parents support you in school? Do you even go to school? If your family is poor you are likely to not visit great schools, not get the great jobs, basically you are very likely to stay poor.

This world is the result of hyper capitalism, not socialism. A highly regulated socialist system would never allow one massive company with no accountability to basically own the economy. Competition in an advanced society can’t exist without rules, and regulation. With no rules you eventually end up with everything as commodity, at that point the winner is basically whoever holds capital, no competition or striving is required. Rules and regulation are needed to create a competitive environment in advanced economy’s, this film to me is a depiction of what happens when you remove all rules and allow monopoly of mega corporations to take over.

I gave a lot of thought to the plausibility of the premise of this movie. Even going as far as to do some rudimentary simulations of population dynamics over time and IQ probability distributions in the population. And for any reasonable parameters, I found the IQ never dropped beyond a certain point. Because you see, IQ 140 people may breed less, i.e. have have a breeding disadvantage relative to 100s and 60s, and the survival disadvantage of being a 60 is made less by science, but it doesn't go away entirely, and it seems that there's no breeding advantage of 60 over 100, even if there is over 140. In other words, the 60s and 100s have an advantage over the 140s, but the 60s don't really have an advantage over the 100s, and that's what kills the IQ descent. So essentially the worst that could happen is you could end up with a civilization without any geniuses, and the average IQ would drop to a certain level and no further. Not a civilization that gets dumber without limit. Honestly I think HG Wells's The Time Machine with the eloi and morlocks is more believable, with 2 separate populations. The ordinary dolts, they're going to be the ancestors of the eloi, while Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, they're going to spawn the morlocks. Just think about it, it's perfect. Zuckerberg OWNS your fucking soul, internet sheep, admit it. You will eat whatever he feeds you. And eventually, his descendants will eat yours. Could that be the endpoint of the ever widening income inequality? Possibly. More likely than idiocracy. Besides, despite Mike Judge's best attempts, the people of the future in Idiocracy actually weren't all that dumb. They're wiser than WE are, in one fundamental way, after all. WHAT did they IMMEDIATELY do with the man "Not Sure" as soon as they identified him as the smartest man on Earth? They put him in charge of everything! WE'RE not that smart, right? I know one thing, if I ever got a job as a Costco greeter, I would unenthusiastically say "Welcome to costco, I love you" to everyone at the door.

It is about how if we are misinformed we can be taken advantage of- in the case of the movie the population is only informed by brawndo propaganda and thus the weakened government is then taken over by it. If you watch the movie it is obvious that the dystopia of idiocracy is hardly even close to socialism because the protaganist is arrested because he couldn't pay his medical bill. There is also a scene where a mother cannot pay for food at a kiosk and the police show up to arrest her. This whole review feels like a bit of projection by you with your hatred of socialism.

@NPC 19867 If you want to live in a lawless society where armed corporations are allowed to lie, murder, and steal from you through sheer organization and armament at a scale you can never defend yourself from, go ahead. Adam Smith wanted governments to constantly shackle corporations so they will be FORCED to work hard and compete instead of using scale of economy to crush start ups and smaller shops. Go live in a Brazilian gangland favela or something where gang lords' decrees are the law and they have no obligation to provide protection or food for the people there. The democracies of the world worked hard to create a system where people had at least some degree of power to affect who becomes leader. It's not perfect but you'd be a fool to think governments are unnecessary altogether. Don't throw the baby out with the water just because you see a few problems.

[@Chromodar]

@NPC 19867 ".. if there was a theoretical natural "monopoly", what would be stopping some entrepreneurs from joining the phone market and destroying the monopoly?" If you have a monopoly on something like cellphones, or phone services, you probably have enough money to buy out any emerging competitors. Or buy out their suppliers. My point is you'd have a lot of money, like a hell of a lot, and you can do a hell of a lot with a hell of a lot of money. Especially if there's no regulation.

[@Chromodar]

@NPC 19867 The thing is, if you hold a complete global monopoly on cellphones, if you produce, sell and earn a profit on every single cellphone every single person in the world buys.. Then the amount of money that would overwrite ANY *No* from a newly established competitor would be literal pocket change to you. And if the wannabe competitor is dead set on breaking this monopoly, then you buy the people who deliver the components they build their cellphones from. Or their distribution network. Or maybe you make a deal with phone service providers to not work with competing phones. I mean no regulations, right? Your money is SO much better than theirs.. And what good is a cellphone with no signal? Hell, ultimately you'd probably want to buy up all these (compared to you) small corporations competing in the phone service providing business, and turn it into your own telecommunications monopoly to go with your phones, right? In order to successfully enter the market as a competitor against that, I would have to own everything involved in the research and development, production, assembly, packaging, transport, and selling of cellphones.. As well as a global telecommunications net with competitive coverage and speeds. And everything I just listed that already exists is owned by the monopoly holders, so I have to create it from scratch. That's one HELL of an initial investment just to not get tripped up. And after all that I still have to actually compete on quality, prices and service as well. The thing I'm trying to get through to you is, the sheer scale of money we're talking about when discussing global monopolies of expensive goods that sell in droves.. And the intensity of desire to protect such a thing once you have it.. And how powerful money is when presented in such quantities, how much you can actually do with it.. Add in your claim of no regulations and we're 2/3rds of the way to a cyberpunk dystopia with megacorporations deciding the law already. It's just so much money man, that's all I'm saying. So much money you can't imagine. So much money that what you would usually consider insane amounts of money is literal pocket change in comparison.

They're not very good judges about what they actually need in life and often times spend their money on things that no one needs at all, or things that are damaging to society or to the planet. Capitalism creates a culture of self-righteous consumers where everyone is correct, because they are the customer, and where the seemingly benign decisions made by billions of people (people who have been psychologically coddled by an endless stream of entertainment products and other diversions from reality) combine to form an ever-growing tsunami of unmitigated ecological destruction and consumption.

Have you ever watched The Big Short? That film's breakdown of the housing collapse can be applied to current society. Ryan Gosling's character uses a Jenga model to explain how the mortgage bond market is going to implode when a small percentage of the mortgages in any bond go into foreclosure. This makes me wonder what percentage of the population taking from the system versus putting in will cause collapse. Right now I am seeing an incredible amount of young people checking out and with the WWII and Baby Boomers filling up hospitals and nursing homes I can't see how the current system can survive, which is basically the message made in Idiocracy. The WWII and Baby Boomers are pretty much done putting into the sysyem and that leaves Generation X and Millennials responsible for putting in and that scares me because I have never seen so many people with so much BS dysfunction. Remember when PTSD was something reserved for combat? Now anything and everything is being labeled as PTSD. Get into a fender bender, PTSD! $h!tty job with a mean boss, PTSD! Daddy didn't hug you enough, PTSD! Now add on the accross the board addiction to opiods! The number of people in all generations popping pills like candy is crazy.

Your social commentary lacks real world understanding. The exact opposite is true. The less resources people have the more people breed. Remember, people used to have large families, but thanks to the industrial revolution and higher wages, people actually have less children. People used to have more children because it was a lottery. You not only needed more hands on the farm you also didn't know how many children you would lose to various diseases. Look at under developed nations across the globe. They have multiple children and they barely have enough to eat. They barely have any resources. If what you said was true that more resources would mean more children then that "High IQ" couple would have breed like rabbits, but they haven't. High IQ couples and Wealthy couples don't have that many kids. In fact even the so called welfare low IQ people you attempted to demonize don't even have that many kids. Most families regardless of IQ and wealth have 2 to 3 offspring. So your entire synopsis fails when you look at the real world. People breed more with less resources and breed less with more resources. I could go on with the economic portion but lets keep this simple. The economics would be pages of bullshit i just don't have the time to deal with.

teddybruscie Yeah, I don't even know where to begin with the idiotic claims he made to try to fit this movie to his political beliefs. Conservatives are completely blind to any real world evidence. European countries are the ones with the most welfare programs and they're much more educated than us here in the US and they're having fewer and fewer children. Bill Gates actually wants to improve the living conditions of impoverished people as a means to reduce population growth because people who have secure futures and access to education have fewer children. The rampant capitalism in the movie was blatantly obvious, yet somehow he blames socialism just because he doesn't like socialism?

What the movie was saying and I think both of you (Dave Cullen and teddybruscie) are missing is that : This is what is happening right now. It's a fact and if it keeps going this way then this could be our future.

@Kooky katt I suggest you read the dumb dumb leftist comment again and think about it, but this time dont assume its stupid, dont try to find something bad or failing about it. Just read it without emotional weight in either way. Read it to understand the words themselves, and not the words as an attack against your own worldview. Treat it as a learning experience. Dont do it for me, or anyone else but yourself. Intellectual curiosity, just like you said. Dont redelegate it as a mere emotional comment. Think beyond it. Think in decades, not in moments. Think in attitudes, as well as tangible things. Think not in mere moment of now, but think like chess: several steps ahead. It can take your skill several steps ahead too.

@Kooky katt Your statement was incomplete: you said that welfare recipients breed more, but you didnt say compared to what. Now that could be seen just as a lie and propapanda, where you claim that welfare recipients breed more than poor people who dont even get welfare and are poorer than those who do, but then nefariously, using a lie of omission, make it seem like you are actually comparing welfare recipients and middle/upper classes. A smart, very smart con as you gain factual support, and then turn it into a nonfactual claim, which it actually was from the beginning, to disprove the factual claim itself! Its quite brilliant, i admit, while still being complete bullshit. Have you considered working as a spindoctor?

[@Aquabeing1]

The message isn't that poor people breed more. It's that stupid people do.

[@earlofdoncaster5018]

I don't think this movie is a criticism of the welfare state, although it can be read as such. I'm pretty sure that if birth rates in countries without a welfare state are higher than countries with a welfare state. Compare Sweden with India for example.

As a rabbit fan, I would like to point out that the other reason rabbits breed 'like rabbits' is they are preyed upon by just about everything. Hawks, foxes, coyotes, wolves, bobcats, cougars, eagles .... they need to breed a lot of offspring so that some survive to reproduce. And having a pet house-rabbit, I can assure you that the smartest rabbits survive - I swear my rabbit is smarter than I am. (cringes awaiting jeers ; )

[@Halcon_Sierreno]

That's cute.

0:50 -> 3:40 - this is visibly happening in New Zealand right now. This movie is proving difficult to obtain in my country :(

[@jasonbourne9819]

It's not that people were born with low iq, socialism and it's education system dumbs down the population. Reject socialism and corporatism and all will be well.
