    In Idiocracy, everybody is dumb. This is unrealistic, as in the past, now, and in the future, there have been, are and will be plenty of intensely intelligent people screaming the answers in our face, all while we keep fucking it up.

      I feel like it can be broken down to roughly 30% of people are stupid shitty dumbasses (regardless of demographic, that percentage applies to everything, all the time, in every context. At least 30% of everything sucks, as a rule.), 40% of people are intelligent enough but are generally apathetic to other people and politics in general, and 30% of people are the change needed and sometimes that is enough people.

      You act like intelligence is some kind of evolutionary goal that cant be lost once obtained. Not a safe bet
