CDZ Was 'Idiocracy' a Work of Genius, or just Nonsense?

[JimBowie1958]

The term was invented by H.L. Mencken iirc. Haven't seen the movie but the idea ha been around since the 1920's, mainly aimed at white Christian culture and a favorite with pseudo-intellectual fashion victims who thought endorsing such stuff as eugenics, pop psychology, and other 'progressive' fads made you 'intelligent' and 'superior', i.e. mostly people who never actually lifted a finger to help anybody else, just ran their mouths about what a failure others they sneered at and disapproved of were.

Well that is the history of the term, perhaps, but the FACT is IQs had been rising, generation after generation, and in Europe they have started dropping for the last three, doing a complete reversal. I think the average of 7 points per generation was what was claimed, which put the average IQ of Northern Europeans at least on the path to stupidity(I think it was Norway's military scores that were studied).
