    Which is the plot to Idiocracy and why the movie is no longer a fantasy and it is now a prophecy.

          It doesn’t have to ONLY be inherited for the effect to be present, it’s about 75% inherited, which is quite enough for a scifi premise to stand up better than most scifi plots.

        I wouldn’t say that it’s entirely eugenics. Most of the point they were making is environmental factors like having uneducated parents that don’t enrich the child’s life or being too poor for education because the parents were too poor because they had 10 kids. It’s where we are headed because they are trying to actively destroy our education system and force people into unwanted births.

          First, the comparison and core of the intro is about reproduction. Second, welcome to the Internet, where not everyone is from the USA.

              I think it is a wonderful movie exactly because it is applicable everywhere. Berlusconi was already walking that path in the early 2000s in Italy.

          Yea sorry, I accidentally anglicized.

          Skimming over the link, I can see that a clear explanation is still lacking and that environmental theory is showing results.

          Believing it is mostly genetic reinforces the claims of the class who has access to better education to maintain those accesses and resources.

            Intelligence is inherited, but evenly distributed over the population/across (so called) ethnic groups You’re skimming over a wikipedia article, but the guy you’re replying to isn’t off the mark.
