It’s not people so much as people’s relationship to technology. Having all the information in the world a search away has put us in a position where we don’t have to store as much information in our brain, so we don’t. Of course the less that’s in there the less you have to work with to make analysis and decisions. Eventually we’ll work with all this info differently.

The education system, greater access to drugs, parents who don’t care if their child can do any more than obtain an EBT card, a pop culture of the stupid for the stupid (rap, hip-hop, whatever it’s called), mindless tv for hours on end....

Am I reading that graph right? It says the average IQ is 84 in the UK?

That doesn’t seem too bright.

It was spelled Idiocracy.

Isn't that one of the first signs of declining intelligence- spelling errors ?

The billionaire socialist class has wanted to see the Earth’s numbers down.

Well... you are breathing THEIR air, and drinking THEIR water, so it's just natural that they want us dead.

Yes, an “ideocracy” would be a political system based upon ideas whereas an “idiocracy” would be a political system based upon low IQs. I guess we know the poster does not know the difference between the two words.

We can only wish that Idiocracy was a documentary!

I think President Comacho had a lot of merit, compared to some of his predecessors...
