    Have you actually seen Idiocracy? There’s a whole lot of fuckery being glossed over here.

      No, they are 100% correct. President Comacho delegated to experts, which is something very few politicians today would do.

          I feel like the basic idea of delegation (assigning roles/tasks) is simple enough. If anything, it’s effective delegation that is tough because you have to know the capabilities of your people, and who would best be suited for what.

          I didn’t have to learn it, just delegated other people to learn it for me.

          He appointed him Secretary, and instituted the improvements Not Sure suggested. He tried to execute him when he got impatient, and the economy was crashing because no one understood why the improvements were suggested.

          Then when Not Sure was proven correct, the President made Not Sure President. So it was before and after trying to have him executed due to impatience.

    Isn’t the rest of his cabinet picked based off winning a contest, being a family member, or having tits?

    The point is the idiocracy exists and it’s so bad that the best they can do is elect someone who is, at best, average. That’s the joke. Yeah, the decision to put someone in charge who is smarter than the rest of them is admirable and pokes at our own politicians, but nonetheless the idiocracy exists.

        No, I didn’t. Just using him as a way to demonstrate why just grabbing the guy with the highest IQ you know can backfire.

    I really don’t get why some leftists like this movie. It’s message is very conservative, pro-eugenics and pro-meritocracy.

    It’s not even that funny or well written, considering it’s Mike Judge.

      Because it’s for entertainment purposes… I can watch horror movies and not be a fan of people being murdered. What a terrible take.

        I disagree in that I think the movie is hilarious, but I dunno man, there are way too many people in forums like this declaring “Idiocracy was a documentary” so they can feel smart for a moment.

        If you watch interviews of Mike Judge talking about it, none of that is the direction he wanted the message of the movie to go. “Lead, follow, or get out of the way” is the theme he wanted. Putting a common man in a situation where they are in a position to do something is what it’s supposed to be about.
