In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.

Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.

    How exactly is it treated as a choice in the movie?

        Choice to have a baby ≠ choice to “be dumb”

          Choice to not have baby = choice to let dumb people out-procreate smart people = more dumb people

            And, returning to the original question - How exactly is that treating individual intelligence as a choice and not a genetic trait?

      You know how you can choose to pay attention in class and do the work and ask for help when needed? If you don’t do any if that you’ll end up dumb and that is a result if your choices

        Setting aside the ableism of your reply, it still in no way relates to how intelligence is treated in the movie that is being discussed.

          Dumb isn’t ableist really. It used to refer to mute people but it hasn’t been used for that purpose in decades. Nice try at another bullshit claim. You like those don’t you?

          You misunderstood the first scene completely to the point where I wonder if your sensitivity to this bit is because of your own perspective on where you sit intellectually or financially. You can decide on your own how much of that is the result of your educational choices.

            Lol. “You’re dumb and poor”. What an informative reply. Thanks for clearing that up.

              You really have trouble understanding things if that’s your take away from my comment. I never concluded that you are poor or stupid but Im leaning towards you not being a strong reader based on the skills you demonstrated today.

                Literally what you said. Feel free to clarify if that’s not what you meant.
