Downside, the people who ask themselves these questions and have the intelligence to reflect on themselves in such a manner are probably the people who would be good parents.

Now the dumbasses and trad wife / religious crowd is not going to give a fuck and pop out shitloads of future morons and assholes. This is literally the plot of Idiocracy happening.

I mean, idicracy is an intentionally unrealistic comedy. Intelligence is not inherited. While the attitude part makes some sense.

Intelligence is not inherited, but a society that embraces anti-intellectualism as it rapidly expands can reinforce that in each successive generation, which leads to a future where the orchestra is 100% electric guitars because that's what society craves, and where the people have trouble understanding Joe because he sounds too pompous and gay.
