I've just watched the film "Idiocracy".
The basic premise is that, because humans are free to breed as they like, natural selection favoured the dumb (because there were so many) and survival of the fittest had gone out of the window.
The film is set 500 years from now where, instead of being all sci-fi with hover cars etc, futuristic earth looks like one big advertisement board for takeaway food and trash tv. The American President is a former porn star and pro wrestler, designer clothes are made by fast food chains, and humans are barely one step away from being cavemen again.
Anyway, my question - do you think this future could be likely, given that the poorly educated breed more than the educated?
