I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.

      The people in Idiocracy were wiser because when they found the smartest person they put him in charge pretty much straight away.

        If you want to hoard your supplies during the collapse of civilization, all you did was made yourself a target to the person with a bigger gun.

          Well, you’ll be pleased to know there are a lot of projects working on indoor vertical farming. Both as a method to spin up food production in heavily populated cities, and as a method for sustainable Mars and Moon bases. Which are effectively just bunkers, in space.

      I think there will still be many places that will be livable even if the temperature rises to +10, such as Nothern Canada and Russia. So it seems probable “rich” people could be able to have their own colonies their, though it’s probable rich will have a different meaning then, maybe more about water and food than numbers on the internet. Our species is far from endangered, it’s rather our civilisations that are, the bad and the good in them.

        Wait, so you mean the absurdist comedy movie made by the guy that made Beavis and Butthead doesn’t go deep into the causes of the issues experienced nor tackles potential solutions?

            I think you have a really good point.

            I’m anti-eugenics, I just want good sex education and free birth control and abortion. Educate people, and empower them with personal agency.

            I think the genetics/natural-selection part of Idiocracy is wrong and in bad taste - ignorance and stupidity are far more correlated to economic insecurity, poverty, food deserts, underfunded schooling. We can and should fix these.

            I suspect most people would ultimately agree with this over eugenics, even if they reference Idiocracy.

        I think you missed the point of the movie there, champ.

        Also, if you don’t like Carls Jr., then fuck you.
