    People like to think that humans as a whole are intelligent.

    The reality is about 80% of us are barely above a dog in intelligence meanwhile the other 20% are desperately holding the other 80% on their shoulders because empathy is a thing for them.

      Read “The Marching Morons” by C. M. Kornbluth. The novella that "Idiocracy’ was based on. Much darker than the movie. Much, much darker.
