Idiocracy is a 2006 American science fiction comedy film. Plot: In 2005, United States Army librarian Joe Bauers is selected for a government suspended-animation experiment as the most average individual in the armed forces. Over the next five hundred years, average intelligence decreases due to societal expectations, discouraging well-educated individuals from having children as the less-educated reproduce indiscriminately; genetic engineering is forgone in favor of hair loss and erectile dysfunction treatments. As a result, infrastructure deteriorates, low comedy and vulgarity defines culture, and consumerism is left unfettered.
