    How is this not the Idiocracy timeline? I’d anything it feels like the pace of the “dumbing down” is too fast.

      The president in Idiocracy sought the help of someone smart.

      Y’all need to remember that and realize we are way past this movie.

        Yeah, there weren’t leagues of malevolent rich assholes seeking to make the world worse for their own profits. Just a bunch of idiots who apparently forgot how to think.

      Absolutely, idiocracy was too optimistic. In their version, it took 500 years to get there.

      We’ll be there in a generation, maybe 2. (If we have that many generations.)
