Idiocracy is a prescient movie, however, I think it is pretty far off the mark about who's getting dumber, and weaker. It implies that intelligence is solely an inherited trait, and that the "bottom" tier of humanity IQ wise will outbreed the "top" professional class, so the world will turn retarded.
I think our civilization keeps making people dumber and weaker across the board. The "elites" are getting dumber and weaker too. In fact, I think they're in a worse position than Joe Sixpack, or random mom and pops who live in a trailer park.
The so called elites are so cut off from natural necessity that they think there's no "real world". Their philosophy is completely solipsistic and narcissistic. They believe in the sci-fi version of technology. They believe that a man can cut his dick off and become a woman, and vice versa. They believe imposing their cultish nonsense on others makes it "true".
They're really in the "Forbidden City" of this version of an Empire. They're totally cut off from knowing what's necessary. I doubt many of those talking head representatives of globo-homo could even setup a coffee table. In their mind's eye, though, they'll be directing the entire economy while their brain is plugged into the Internet.
