People who think Idiocracy is how evolution works are less-informed and more dangerous than creationists. The idea that society is collapsing because people are “breeding wrong” is historically competitive with any religion for getting innocent people slaughtered.
You’re assuming that species evolve indefinitely. All fail eventually. There were lots of extinct creatures who lived with alligators and armadillos way back when. They either failed to adapt to change or were eliminated by an external force.
I think we have an evil external force working againt humanity, but I have no evidence for it and realize it sounds crazy.
Never seen Idiocracy, but there is a clear correlation between low IQ and making lotsa babies. There’s a somewhat famous sci-fi short story called The Marching Morons that I’d bet Idiocracy got ideas from.
I don’t think there is any other movie that is as pro eugenics. I see where they are coming from but also I don’t think that’s how intelligence and geans work. This was discussed as a possibility in the early 1900s however I think it was more the crime gean or the unemployment gean. Both where discredited.

Idiocracy is more about what the world will be like when everyone is stupid rather than how everyone in the world will get stupid.
