Idiocracy (2006) - The Movie
Some say that there is a strange relationship between truth and fiction.
As a Sci-Fi fan, I'm amazed at how often old movies seemed to have predicted current states of society.
With that being said, I'm calling your attention to this movie.
You may glean something by reading about it; but, if you ever have a chance to watch it, you will see my point immediately, and at the same time, have a laugh or two...

I extracted this from the I.M.D.B. synopsis of the movie:
"A narrator explains that natural selection is indifferent to intelligence, so that in a society in which intelligence is systematically debased, stupid people easily out-breed the intelligent, creating, over the course of five centuries, an irremediably dysfunctional society. Demographic superiority favours those least likely to advance society. Consequently, the children of the educated élites are drowned in a sea of sexually promiscuous, illiterate, alcoholic, proletarian peers."
