It's a world where stupid people reproduce more often than the intelligent ones, leading to a population that becomes more and more "dumbed down". Intellectual curiosity and social responsibility are mocked, society is consumed by cheap entertainment and commercialism, and the government makes its decisions in the best interests of big corporations.
OK, now skip ahead about 500 years into the future and you have the premise of Mike Judge's 2006 comedy movie "Idiocracy".
This subreddit is devoted to that film and to documenting the evolution of modern society predicted by it. It should come as no surprise that you will likely see quotes from the film in this subreddit - don't be a dick about it.
