dysgenic

Your next paragraph is flawed in saying that somehow being anti-dysgenic is being dysgenic.

It's very explicitly a dysgenic apocalypse narrative, which could have been avoided with earlier eugenicist intervention.

This dysgenic path humanity is taking is the primary reason for the ever increasing medicare costs of countries with socialist medicare.

Intelligent life tends to succumb to dysgenic fertility, and ceases to be intelligent.

But it's certainly a dysgenic narrative which has eugenicist implications.

Genetic techniques can even be globally beneficial in the long run by counterbalancing the dysgenic effect of modern medicine that helps genetically disadvantaged people survive and procreate.

In a world of dysgenic fertility, this is guaranteed[1].

>partly to curtail China's population explosion, but also to reduce dysgenic fertility among rural peasants.

> Intelligent life tends to succumb to dysgenic fertility, and ceases to be intelligent.

This is true - otherwise we'd have consistently growing intelligence over the generations - and instead we find the inverse - dysgenic fertility rules the day.

A lot of people talk about dysgenic trends that they imagine must be happening because the weak are being protected from having their genes eliminated from the human gene pool.

>The movie did have an unfortunate eugenic implication You’re thinking of dysgenic, not eugenic.

That's why extreme income inequality is actually dysgenic, despite the love for it by "Social Darwinists".

I don't agree with the dysgenic narrative, but I have often found myself thinking, "Gotta hand it to the movie Idiocracy, it's feeling familiar".

Also, we can't be sure yet since nutrition "science" is almost indistinguishable from quackery but I have the strong feeling that eating only plants has some dysgenic effect.

And the Redditors who get themselves hot and bothered about this film aren't laughing, they're congratulating themselves on being the intelligent ones instead of the dysgenic stupids while crowing about how "Idiocracy is a documentary" -> stupid people are overbreeding.
