children of men I guess

seems pretty accurate

Planet of the apes.

None. i hate being alive right now

>scare you off the future
Even correcting the off/of typo, you still sound retarded. I can only conclude this is bait, or else I feel sorry for you.

I'm not scared of anything

jajaja the future Op? i'm afraid we already at the door of 1984 and soylent green.

We are fucked... these movies, real science fiction movies have been trying to warn us for a while now but we have disregarded the warnings.

Watched this the other day.

Wasnt funny at all.

I tip my fedora to you!!

Fuck off and die

Every single woman will become sterile? That's accurate to you?

The Road
Threads

I'm still waiting for a good movie about AI as an existential risk though. Never seen one.

no I mean britain taken over by muslims and terrorists and stuff. Also wasn't the only baby black or something?

I'd say Brazil but we're already there.

movies concerning intimacy'
that passionate real-love kind of stuff
makes me tremble

A Good Man
Horribly terrified somebody will snatch my birthday

Funny in 2006

Not funny anymore in 2016

Where did this meme of Idiocracy being somehow prophetic start? I seriously don't see how anyone seriously believes that the future is going to be like that apart from le wrong generationers

...

...

...

Seems like it is "off" not "of" to "scare you off" something is a term people use.

...

Dude that wasn't about the future. That was about the actual real world times it was shot in and is still valid today. The very movie itself is to placate you by allowing you to "get angry" vicarious through the characters so you don't do anything in the real world about it.

So long as healthcare is as good as it is or gets better, the stupid of the world will simply increase exponentially.

if you don't see how, you probably belong in that movie.

Arguably the problem has become exacerbated since the creation of internet journalism that favours opinion over factual evidence.

shes busy fighting pandas

Don't watch
youtube.com/watch?v=0Rnq1NpHdmw

It has always been like that though. Ever since the companies realized they could control the populace very easily through the media they've been spinning everything. You can't believe anything you see because what you are allowed to see has been hand picked let alone may be an utter outright lie.

Calling bullshit. Trump being a meme candidate does not mean that the world is getting stupider.

>spoiler
Hilary will win

Seriously the whole world becoming stupider thing is fucking dumb. We are arguably the best educated generation in the history of western civilization. People going on to higher levels of study at University/College is higher than it ever has been before.

Only because it is now becoming fact.

and yet here we are in the year of our lord 2016 with goddamn Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton our presumptive Presidential candidates. Maybe that movie is just about the United States?

wow

The Road
never have scared me anything like this no horror film or anything
dont have balls to watch it again

hey look you missed the point entirely. The point is that the stupid ones are BREEDING MORE. Intelligent people have been having less children for a long long time. Meanwhile cletus at the trailer park is having 10 kids with 4 women, and the 70 IQ africans are breeding like rabbits. It's not hard to figure out, if you can't see it i don't know what to tell you.

>muh education

Go enroll a chimpanzee at Harvard and see how that goes. If we keep breeding stupid people education can only do so much.

Ignorant = uneducated, you don't know about something. Curing ignorance is easy, you merely educate people so they know about it.

Stupidity = Educated but doesn't do something/does something they shouldn't.

An example is fire. We all know fire is hot and will burn you. A toddler won't know this and is ignorant of it. The toddler putting its hand into the fire and getting burned isn't stupid. However, if the toddler does this a second time then it is stupid.

The point is, we are highly educated, yet we do absurdly stupid things.

Also, in the USA colleges are literally just tuition farms/loan mills for stupid people.

>best educated generation in the history of western civilization

Courses on gender studies / memes / cannabis

Lower birth rates is also a sign of increased economic wealth among a society. When a country becomes more wealthy, its people start breeding less.

>education is intelligence

Found the idiot.

>muh universities
>muh gender studies
shouldn't you be fucking making youtube videos whinging about free speech or something?

idiocracy was just as much about you retards. reacting to clickbait as if it were gospel. kill yourself.

Harry Potter Lit: If you want to appreciate the Harry Potter novels as more than just a fun read, head to Ohio State to spend good money exploring the larger themes within the seven book series. [Ohio State]

Age of Piracy: Johnny Depp’s kooky but sexy Jack Sparrow has gotten many students interested in learning more about the pirating arts, and this course offers them the chance to take a look at the much less appealing, real-life lives of pirates. [Arizona State]

The American Vacation: Study your vacation time more closely with the knowledge this historical and social course offers. [U of Iowa]

The Science of Harry Potter: Unicorns and magical spells might not be real, but this course addresses the magical happenings of the Harry Potter series through a scientific lens, applying physics to things like quidditch. [Frostberg]

Cyberfeminism: Learn just what the heck cyberfeminism is in this course. [Cornell]

Myth and Science Fiction: Star Wars, The Matrix, and Lord of the Rings: Explore larger issues of myth and speculative fiction through these popular movies. [Centre College]

Queer Musicology: According to this course, those who are homosexual create and experience music differently than their straight counterparts. While many experts in the field see this as a growing field of study, most outside were quite critical when this course was introduced in the 90s. [UCLA]

Underwater Basket Weaving: Here it is, the course that has been the butt of numerous jokes about the declining quality of college education in America. Yes, it really exists and you can take it at this school and others for credit. [Reed College]

Tree Climbing: Students who never learned to climb a tree as a child can now receive college-level education in the subject through this course. [Cornell]

>no I mean britain taken over by muslims and terrorists and stuff.

this is literally the opposite of what happens in the film

there's a shitload of refugees, but britain won't let them in

Yes, population growth is higher among those with less IQ. Yet those people aren't in positions of power are they.

Right now we still have Obama, and say what you like about Clinton (like the fact that she's a self serving cunt) but she's is undoubtedly an incredibly intelligent woman.

Trump, as I said is a candidate specifically created to appeal to Cletus at the trailer parks, which is probably why he has managed to beat out Cruz in the first place.

Like I said, Trump won't win because he has no support base outside of dumbasses, who don't actually make up that much of the population.

On the education front, Harvard, Cambridge and Oxford have never had to lower their standards in order to let prospective candidates in. If anything it is more competitive than ever to get into these prestigious universities.

But whatever, I have derailed this thread enough. Believe the meme if you want but I just don't see how its true.

meh elective courses have always been shitty, or at least for a long time. A while ago I saw my mom's college transcript from the 70's and I almost spit out my coffee at some of the electives she took. Way worse then anything I could remember being at my uni a decade ago.

How to Watch Television: Though most of us are pretty adept at turning on the TV and vegging out, this course aims to teach students how to watch TV actively. [Montclair]

Campus Culture and Drinking: As many students may have been sad to learn, this course doesn’t encourage students to go get trashed, instead asking them to more carefully consider the social and cultural aspects of drinking on campus. [Duke]

Finding Dates Worth Keeping: Students who find themselves constantly falling in love (or just in bed) with Mr. or Mrs. Wrong can take this course to learn to make better dating decisions. [University of Sioux Falls]

Nonviolent Responses to Terrorism: Recent news reports tell that most students today don’t even know what year 9/11 happened. With the memory of terrorism in the distant past (or so it seems) this course seems more and more relevant as anger fades and the American public grows tired of conflict. [Swarthmore College]

Intelligence isnt related to genetics in anyway

way to jump down my throat

universities will take any retard now days; they will give a degree in lets say... french because my new-age courses were upsetting you.

No-one will tell you that this degree means nothing, will not help you get a job.

You are now "university educated".

You are not any more or less intelligent

(source: a university took me)

>muh electives

It is an easy way of seeing who is stupid and who isn't.

Don DeLillo took the piss out of ridiculous university courses with White Noise. Redundant courses to trap idiots aren't anything new.

Now I'm mad

you keep this handy for your little neckbeard STEM buddies?

you whack off to this shit in between episodes of South Park?

OK i'll spell it out for you it's not hard. High IQ people are breeding less, low IQ people are breeding more. Now, bear with me here, TIME PASSES. A lot of time. Remember the movie we are referencing? He goes into the future. So take those 2 conditions above and think it through, what happens over many many years. You end up with a horrendously stupid population with a few very bright ruling elites.

Now, you could argue that's how it is now, but i'm saying idiocracy level stupid. Now, all it takes is for the dummies to get pissed off about this or that, kill the few smart ones left and boom, you have the movie idiocracy. And there is no reason to suspect that exactly won't happen. In my opinion it's one of our more likely futures.

Yeah, electives are fine being stupid, but the media tries to play a degree in memes as being equal to a real degree (say in engineering or science)

>Intelligence isnt related to genetics in anyway

fuck so my dog is just as smart as any person? Why the fuck didn't we enroll him in school? Fucking racists.

You are an idiot btw

maybe in the very distant future and Mike Judge had a point on that front. but this whole argument started with how we are supposedly living in Idiocracy right now, when I just don't see that to be the case.

>all this projection and angry

kek

...

[citation needed]

These courses are mocked constantly. Both in print and online.

Filling your head with trash, as part of your formal education, is never a good idea.

you're the faggots bringing it up on an imageboard.

I'm not the one with a copypasta list of shit that doesn't affect me.

:o)

Found the underwater basket weaver.

Your dog is truly smarter than you

This you?

I do not support the media making these degrees look like anything other than a joke. I do not support the site I am linking. This is just the citation you requested.

gawker.com/5841779/this-woman-getting-a-masters-degree-in-lolcats-will-be-richer-than-you

This is the media making a joke degree look like it will make money.

>mfw reading this

Oh well i didn't see anyone say that, thought they were implying we are heading in that direction, hence the term "prophetic". I would however argue that there are some pretty stupid leaders running countries around the world but i'm fairly certain that has always been true.

.

I was appealed to learn that there's a surprising amount of professionals actually studying how memes work and proliferate through society and the internet.

But that's why they exist, to filter the dumb-asses from the normals

the filter used to be that it was hard to get in to university

>American Education

this you?

>appealed

God damn it. "Appalled" what is up with terrible autocorrect?

...

>appealed
youtube.com/watch?v=hO2HDYouNuU

all I could think about.

There's a surprising number of people doing all the dumb things you'd never even consider doing, that's the problem

...

You see the problem with that line of thinking is what happens later when there are so many of these people thinking that these courses should not be elective and should be mandatory. Then the entire system degrades even faster than it already is.

Also, those classes exist not for what you think. They exist to make loan officers and colleges money for nothing at all.

Plenty of stuff that implies that we now live in Idiocracy. It's true that a higher education is its own contraception, but I don't see the shared IQ of the world depleting because Cletus in a trailer park has 8 kids. If that were the case then we would have seen the world IQ dropping long before now.

I like Mike Judge, but i feel that people take Idiocracy way too seriously. Are there things it got right? sure. But on the whole i think its ridiculous to suggest that subsequent generations are getting more and more idiotic.

...

Anyone remember when evil was easy to recognize from a distance?

yeah no were far fucking off from soylent green. We are finally at a time were we are producing more food than we need.

This is anecdotal. How many people do you think actually enrol in a literal meme course compared to those enrolling to do Law/Medicine

Thus proving the point of Idiocracy becoming a real possibility in the future.

I was complaining about the filters becoming lower and lower.

1970s - University Education = success
Today - University Education = ????

Someone with a degree trumps someone without, even if the degree is bullshit.

E.G. Me and my brother apply for an I.C.T. job, he has a degree (in languages) I have no degree, but have been fixing computers and doing all the things required for the job in my own time.

Who gets the job?

He does; because he has a degree.

Degree = successful in the populaces eyes
Bullshit degree in memes still = degree.

...

More than 20 years ago

And in 20 years, there will be more still.

Subtle.

Ah, I see what you mean. That does make sense.

>Intelligence isnt related to genetics in anyway

You are fucking dumb

...

I dunno man a lot of jobs would rather you have the experience. Not all, not by a long shot but a lot do.

Imagine the Sup Forums assignment

>Get at least 10(you)s for 1 post
>collect at least 20 different image of smug anime girl.

Trump has massive popular support solely because he "speaks his mind" and appeals to their anger, even though his policies are absolutely insane if they're held to any scrutiny. I can't imagine that happening 20 years ago.

What is worse is when the excuse for not hiring you is that you are, "overqualified". That makes you really rethink taking that extra Underwater Basket Weaving course.

I literally do not even know anything about his policies beyond building some big wall which I think was just a joke. Then again presidential voting is always a top tier joke.

I can't help but think people who think the wall is a joke don't know fuck all about history or even the world as it currently is. People build walls to stop the foreign hoards all the time. Isreal has one. MEXICO has fucking border protection against their southern neighbors who are even worse then they are. You can make arguments about whether it is worth the cost or not, but it's not a joke man. People love walls. It wasn't until super SJW's started the wall = racist meme that anyone thought different.

>500 word paper

Ahahaha.

Yeah, I accept this, but experience in this case means having worked professionally in that field before.

Which means my brother would get still the job in the scenario.

If I also had a sister who had no degree but had worked at a lower level of ICT than me, but had done so in a professional environment; then she may get the job over my brother.
