Idiocracy was a film laughed at 2006.
In 2016 it became a warning.
In 2026 it became reality.

One thing you missed here was that a lot of boys in the public school system are semi-required to be dosed with ADHD meds that turn them into virtual zombies.

The focus on the least common denominator is what ruined US education. And we all know who that denominator is. We have crippled ourselves because of them. They drag us down further everyday.

All you need to do is look at current music, cars, fashion, TV and movies and compare them to the 1970's and 1980's. What you'll notice is in 2026 there is a complete lack of imagination, variety and creativity in ALL those things. Creativity has been replaced by a sausage machine of mediocrity designed to extract cash from a mindless society

The Epsteins control the banks and the leaders around the world. They want only the very wealthy families to be properly educated in private schools with other wealthy families so that the children of these families are able to run family corporations and they can make alliances and form relationships with families like theirs.
They are shutting down the middle and working classes because they don't want the small business owners and entrepreneurs to be a competitive entity and gain any monetary power. Also, the middle class are the people who are smart enough even without a proper education to question the authority and talk among each other giving advice on how to think and what is going on with our leaders and our tax money.
The lower class, and poverty class is growing and that is a planned situation. Dumb people won't unite and fight back against the government but they will fight against each other, create chaos, and continue being dependent on the "government" for housing, food and drink and drugs.

When I went to school, it wasn't considered cool to be one of the smart kids, and it's just gotten worse. Parents use the school system as a day care and don't get involved. Many teachers are more concerned with teaching kids what to think rather than how to think. School administration has gotten top heavy and is only concerned with more money. If I was raising kids today they would be homeschooled.

I taught 8th grade in an inner-city school. It's basically prison for kids. BTW, I've met people in their 20s and 30s who waste hours watching and re-watching short clips on their phones.

Well, I’m old enough to remember saying idiocracy is real in like 2014 and also sometime around then was the "adpocalypse" on YouTube where they claimed that most truth and reality-based videos and channels needed to be "demonetized" and or censored because they weren’t ad friendly or family friendly. Fast-forward to today and on this very video I had a full 30-second ad about shaving your balls.

Bought some "ice cream" recently. The first ingredient is Palm Oil. Milk Cream is the 6th ingredient down. Here: "Palm oil, sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, milk cream, corn syrup, cocoa, chocolate, wheat, soy, cocoa butter, corn starch, confectioners glaze, FD&C colors (yellow #6 lake, yellow #5 dye, yellow #5 lake, blue #1, red #40 lake, red #3 dye)"
The 2006 film Idiocracy has transitioned from satire to a documentary of modern American life. The observed degradation of American intelligence is not an accidental phenomenon, but the direct, foreseeable result of a culture and political establishment that systematically undermines the potential of its citizens.
Educational Bankruptcy: American schools have largely abandoned academic rigor in favor of political indoctrination and "daycare." By prioritizing identity-based outcomes over merit and intellectual development, the system actively discourages the cognitive growth of intelligent children.
Nutritional Impairment: The widespread consumption of ultra-processed "slop" food is engineered for addictive craving rather than sustenance. High-fructose corn syrup and chemical additives like fluoride are actively linked to poor memory, slowed learning, and neurological decline.
The Attention Economy: Modern technology, specifically short-form video platforms, is an "attention extraction machine." The business model relies on turning time into inventory, training users to lack patience, sustained concentration, and the ability to follow a complex argument.
Environmental Isolation: Children are increasingly raised in car-dependent, isolated environments, detached from face-to-face community interaction and forced to rely on digital interfaces that prevent them from developing independent thought.
The United States is not "degenerating" by some mysterious, inevitable force. Rather, society is being conditioned for decline. The tools for human flourishing and wisdom exist, but the current regime is actively feeding the population garbage, distracting them with endless novelty, and penalizing intellectual development. The final state of this "Idiocracy" is a population that has forgotten how to think, even while surrounded by the most powerful information-processing tools in history.
