This world is turning out less like the movie Idiocracy and more like the series Continuum.

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.

Idiocracy was too optimistic. it supposes that when people are having problems they will realize, realize they can’t fix it, and try to find someone who knows more than them to fix them

Your point, like many similar, misses the fact that idiocracy is MANY cycles in before they attempt to right the ship. There is an entire population of adults in there that seemed to have been born into the already broken world and developed wholly inside of it (and probably several generations). Not a lot of “Back in my day” in that world, because back in “that day” everyone was still a fucking moron in a broken world.

500 years covered in the link below alone. Settle in, we’re just getting started. Unfortunately we’ll never live to see the movie, “Ass” or to see it win those 8 Oscars.
