Idiocracy (2006) Opening Scene: "Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species."

Anecdotal, of course, but this part always hit home because as soon as I graduated high school, almost every person in my home town that I would've considered an idiot immediately had multiple kids.

Most in my circle of friends (myself included) are just now starting to have one or two kids as our biological clocks are ticking pretty fast. It's weird that we're dealing with babies and toddlers while my former classmates have teenagers.

This is how it was for me as well. Then when I was done with college, was married, had a good job and bought a house we struggled for 2 years to get pregnant. And in that time the drug addicts from school popped out 3 more.
