'Idiocracy' and Me

 The first time I watched the movie 'Idiocracy' (2006)....was around 2011.  Afterwards, I spent about an hour with the movie on my mind.

Describing it?  It's about a guy brought in for a military experiment....who was mostly just average.  The test revolves around putting the guy to sleep.....the doctor doesn't wake the guy up, and he just accidentally wakes up 500 years in the future. Society?  It has DEVOLVED....into a collection of  idiots/morons....mostly due to generations of intelligent people reproducing less than the dim-witted.  By this point....our 'hero'......the average guy.....is a Einstein-like character....surrounded by dimwits.

For five or six years....the movie would come up a couple of times a year.  Somewhere around 2017....because of society changes, it started to come up weekly.

Today?  Almost every single day, I think about 'Idiocracy'.  

I watch CNN, and I see experts who seem to be Idiocracy characters.

I watch the nightly news and see events which ought to be fitted into Idiocracy.

I watch scientists having talks, and think they'd easily fit into a Idiocracy movie.

I watched Joe Biden walk around in a daze for four years.....thinking he was simply a character in Idiocracy.

There's probably a rehab for this 'problem'....but the question is....if I'm entertained to this level daily....should I screw this up and get cured?

Seven Things I Believe Likely To Occur

 1.  Within 18 months, the WNBA collapses.  Out of the ruins....a midwest league (maybe 7 to 8 teams in a four state area) will come to exist, with NO connection to the NBA.

2. Hunter Biden stays permanently in South Africa....never returning to the US.

3.  Harvard opens up a 'annex-university' in Canada.....allowing Chinese students to attend the annex without visa-issues.

4.  The nomination letter signed by President Biden (Spring 2022)  to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court....will be found to be done by autopen, and become a problem because he doesn't remember this event.  The Supreme Court will eventually have to say it's NOT a problem.

5. Some college study will reveal that 40-percent of all kids have lost interest in school by the 8th grade.   

6.  AI-movie production will reach a level where sixteen different versions of True Grit exist.....with  AI-created Humphrey Bogart, AI-Gary Cooper, AI-Burt Reynolds, and  AI-created Donald Trump....are all playing John Wayne's role.

7.  One of the chief 'talks' given in 2028....to hype the Presidential campaign for the Democrats...will be 'we-support-gangs-from-El-Salvador/Venezuela'.  By late summer of 2028....the party leadership will admit it was a bold and fairly stupid move.
