Yeah, i think that’s it. It was pretty much just a hyperbolic commentary on the 2000s and the world kept heading in that direction.

It gets a lot of flak for it’s eugenics themes. I agree that the problem isn’t a system that breeds people genetically predisposed to stupidity. I would have preferred it if the movie had chosen a different mechanism for the dumbing down of the population.

Personally, I think it’s socioeconomic. Rising wealth inequality is causing a decline in the quality of the average median level of education.
