pygmy tyrant posted:Idiocracy has a terrible premise and I can't remember anything else about it. It's classist propaganda depicting a poor person having multiple kids with different partners as detrimental to ~the human race~ even though as we understand it, the intelligence so prized by Mr. Judge is based on the ability to maintain higher numbers of social relationships. This is only demonstrated by the "stupid" person while the "smart" couple fails to achieve the relationship success to achieve even open relationship level of polyamory. Furthermore, Sir this is a funeral

Even before Idiocracy there was an sf story called "The Little Black Bag", where a doctor's bag from the future ends up in the hands of a contemporary disgraced doctor. The future the bag comes from has the majority of the population having ~50 IQs, while a minority of smart people actually do everything or make things like the bag, which has devices that essentially run themselves. The sequel, "The Marching Morons", was based in that future, and a contemporary real estate scam artist wakes then. He helps the smart people by convincing the "morons" that Venus is a swell place and every red blooded American should go there by rocketship. In both, the background premise is the same - smart people have fewer kids than dumb people, leading to a dumbing down of humanity. Which does stem from a very eugenics-based view of humanity.
