In times past, the unproductive parasites would have died off. Now we provide for them, and they do nothing but breed and tell us how “privileged” we are.

True natural selection would cull the herd.

Researchers from the University of East Anglia find that natural selection is favoring poorer people with little education. The study “shows how natural selection effects are stronger in groups with lower income and less education, among younger parents, people not living with a partner, and people with more lifetime sexual partners.”

It is no longer conjecture on the OT, it has been proven by science.

They're just taking advantage of the evolutionary situation in which they find themselves. Maybe on the grand scale of evolving life, that makes them fitter?

Scary shite but here we are.

Translation:

People, that have nothing to lose, are to stupid and/or not able to better themselves, are having as many "hide the mushroom tip" parties with as many other people as possible.

As a result, they are winning the frick trophy aggregate against people with fiscal responsibility, dreams and dedication to a single set of genitalia.

You nerds are just jealous that you’re sterile. Get a life.

You know, I’m curious when that dam broke.

Either way, it’s true and the movie does a good job to show how the responsible ones wait til they can “afford” to have a child vs those that just have a weak pullout game.

I’m curious if the human condition has really changed that much or if we just tolerate bad decisions more in modern times, but I want to venture that the biggest difference was, back in the day, the haves made sure the have-nots knew their place and nature did what it always does, eat the weak.

Spoken like someone who would ramp a jetski into a pool but impale your junk on an iron gate, only to have the miracle of modern medicine not only save your life, but also your reproductive organs as well, further diminishing the gene pool.

It's happening because the more intelligent people are the less kids they have.

That's a pretty rough take on the elderly

The whole point of society is largely to thwart natural selection. The byproducts of this paradigm lead to unequal distributions of labor and financial outcomes by valuing different genetic traits than in the state of nature. This is something people of intelligence in middle school understand.

To me idiocracy was more about a poverty of ambition and values than about just being stupid.
