The long-standing pessimist in me agrees, but the hopeful Trekkie in me wishes for better.

I mean, I'm not saying things can't get better... but they'll never be like Idiocracy. The reason people seem to be getting stupider isn't because of eugenics, it's because of the concerted efforts of those in power to stigmatize intelligence. They're not just going to up and disappear... they're going to exploit the under-educated.
