Idiocracy - The future for Humankind?

deepb
By deepb

It's not a great movie, who am I kidding, it's not even an average movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/
But the premise of the story was quite an interesting one -

The idiots keep breeding and producing offspring by the 10's, while the intelligent end up concentrating on research and career, ending up in late marriages if any, and producing 1 offspring at most. Slowly over a period of time, the intelligent end up taking themselves off the evolutionary scale and only idiots are left.

Nowadays, some observations in day to day life make me think this might actually be where we are headed to. Share your comments please and try to keep it clean. Thanks.

But WK, use of worse than that words in other language in one thread didn't get that ID banned or even warned. The thread is also still alive with all those words posted :-(

Pajju, I am sure MODs can read and understand those words by themselves. I don't want to question their judgement but this is really becoming too much.

IQ has an inverse correlation to population then.That's good news for the low IQ people.

By deepb• 27 Jun 2010 14:13
deepb

That is the problem FU. The ones with the higher IQ do focus on it. The ones below average on the IQ scale don't focus so much.

With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.

Blessing in Disguise......

once upon a time, three decades ago, Population was a curse for India...

Now, the same INDIANS..well educated and qualified, English speaking, IT professionals....quality population helped people around the World to learn and mobilies their natural resources to its BEST utilisation.

lol WK, sadly this kind of intelligence is what I'm afraid the general population is headed towards. He actually proved this theory quite nicely. I highly doubt an intelligent woman will procreate with him. So, the end result will be his kid with lower IQ points than him. And he might end up producing more than a couple as well. You see where this trend will lead to right?

mdobraz you dont need us? lol.. you must be kidding. send all the Indians back and see what happens there. Dont worry about India and its population, country is progressing in a much better pace than yours. sit back and watch dude

I fail to see where there are 8 children in an educated Indian household. Meanwhile, the uneducated are guilty of it, irrespective of being Indian/American/Arab. Your hillbilly's are quite famous for big households in case you were unaware.

China, has a strict 1 child per family policy. So I don't see how they are repeating their mistake. You really should check your facts before vomiting it out and then taking it back later.

This is my advice for you- "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

mdobrasz did you ever hear about the Chinese policy for population control.. Ever... I mean ever opened a newspaper or ever surfed a news related website or watched news on TV??? What, no, never.... Hmm thought so.. At least leave Chinese out of it, stick to India, you are on very slippery ground with China on this issue.

lol don't back down now mdobrasz.. Comeon shoot all the immigrants in USA, you can do it.. Comeon...

By the way India is creating jobs in USA as well, not just sending immigrants there. Get off your ignorant high horse.

You know this type of argument is demonstrated in the movie. "You no agree with me, you are dog. I shoot you "

Maybe it won't be that long before human population is headed that way. Clearly people like mdobrasz already exist. Can't be long before they spread their offspring all over the place.

By deepb• 27 Jun 2010 12:18

Couldn't find the clip, but here are the opening lines-

As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.

The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.

By deepb• 27 Jun 2010 11:27

Victory, IQ levels can't be improved. There might be a slight change of few points up or down. But the general range would be the same.

You should see the movie to understand how they have demonstrated this idea very nicely. And I'm not just talking about the highly intelligent. The people of average intelligence also get breeded out. Let me see if I can find a video of the intro.

By Victory_278692• 27 Jun 2010 11:22
Victory_278692

brain/mental exercises to increase IQ levels......

Focus on certain specific productive activity and by reducing distractions from non productive tasks.

Hard work and sincerity do pays off good results!

By deepb• 27 Jun 2010 11:18
deepb

IQ points are measurable and definable to a reasonable precision. The ones with the higher IQ points seem to be more focused on their careers. Don't you agree with me that these people who make up the bulk of the scientific community are not mass producing children in the bulk unlike their counterparts?

By drmana• 27 Jun 2010 11:14
drmana

Deepb, the so called intelligent ones cannot be called intelligent at all if they can't even think of their fate if they stop reproducing. So the whole argument is null. The so called idiots are at least safeguarding their presence in this world.

By anonymous• 27 Jun 2010 11:12

Intelligence can be classified from A through J. J being the most intelligent. It need not necessarily be about problem solving.

You can't increase your IQ, drmana. And please no drama hi-jacking on this thread.

I am actually interested to see if there is a counter statement as to whether any other route exists where human population might be headed towards.

I guess it's just survival of the fittest. Evolution taking its toll. The intelligent seem to have lost the long-term race by concentrating on the short-term goals.

I think the gap between intelligent people and idiots will grow as the gap between rich and poor. There will be a two-class society, and the intelligent group will know how to keep the idiots in their reservations.
