Idioctacy isn't about how stupid society has become, it's literally justifying Eugenics.

It's a 90 minute film. You are taking issue with the first 2 minutes.

Also, eugenics involves unnatural control and sterilisation. It sounds like you have a problem with intelligence being inherited.

It's the friggin setup to the movie.

sounds like you have a problem with intelligence being inherited.

... which is a eugenisist idea.

As far as I'm aware there's little doubt genetics play a role in intelligence though? Of course it would not have as extreme of an effect as in the movie for a multitude of reasons.

We don't have to pretend that genetics don't matter, we can just agree that eugenics are morally wrong because all people should have the right to reproduce.
