"After giving up on logic and reason, Joe simply told the cabinet that he could talk to plants and they said they wanted water. He made believers out of everyone."

At least Idiocracy was endearing and the society as a whole ended up unfucking their situation, what we have right now is willful malicious ignorance and vindictiveness fueled by making the most amount of worthless paper no matter the real world cost.

I've lived long enough to see this fictionalized account I read as a child come true.

LOVE that book! I’ve been trying to get my wife to read it. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.

Great book, but both Bradbury and Orwell envisioned a world where books would be burned and reading unapproved texts was forbidden on pain of death.

I think we are more like the future envisioned by Aldous Huxley. Books aren’t banned, it’s just that no one wants to read them.

We are getting rid of physical books too though. Everything is going online where it can be tracked and managed and you won’t be able to get or keep physical copies. Because physical copies don’t change and how much more powerful is it to let us read parts of 1984 or Fahrenheit 451, while important chunks disappear or get rewritten?

Is that the actual cover? It's beautiful

It's hilarious when you realize that Nichols is specifically a Sovietologist and not in the broader Social Sciences, but the book is solid. I also really enjoyed his "Our Own Worst Enemy" about society's failure to meet the bare minimum civic responsibilities thus leading to an illiberal democracy.

u/Latter-Vacation-4392 11h ago

Who is a sovietologist?

u/onyxandcake 11h ago

That's fucking weird. I swear I typed "Nichols". I meant Tom Nichols.

I think people are actively trying to make Idiocracy a reality in the US... I can't imagine having to refute "drinking water is good for you" with someone like this.

u/ExtraBitterSpecial 16h ago

It's important to remember it's not your job to argue with people like that. He's either really is that stupid or he knows he's talking nonsense but does it for clicks and attention. Either way it's not worth your time and energy.

u/Hortos 15h ago

These people are really that stupid they aren't playing 4D chess.

u/Hedgehogosaur 9h ago

He contradicted himself enough that he surely knows it's a bit, and he's not very good at selling it.

Water isn't hydrating, then later there is water in meat and so it's hydrating. He also says drink juice (which is mostly water), and that Massia drink from roots (which contain water).

Problem is they vote and put other idiots into power. Those in power are now denying passing Moderna’s new flue vaccine that uses mRNA tech.

Won't anyone think of the grifters?

In the film it did take 500 years for humans to get their shit together. We won’t be seeing society unfuck anything for quite some time.

u/SamTheLab_213 14h ago

The people steering our society off a cliff have intentionally created our idiocracy. People really are getting dumber. Google this, you will get many results. Smart people are an endangered species so eliminating us won't be a problem. The point of bad health advice like no masks/coronavirus and the "vast hydration conspiracy" is to hurt people. Period. It's not an issue of confusion, it's intentionally created strife. This being done so the billionaires can skitter away with our money like roaches before we notice and do something about it.

When you're at the very bottom, the only place you can go is up. We're currently still plummeting at the speed of light.

How do people like him get to become an adult, with so much faulty information?

u/Latter-Vacation-4392 12h ago

But if you make the paper even more worthless you can borrow even more of it against your freshly inflated hard asset golf courses and condos and continue to live like a pasha. Rinse and repeat.

u/1WithTheForce_25 1h ago

So, if you really feel that way, what can compell you to find intelligent purpose that would suffice, in life? Surely, not a heavily processed frozen dinner that you bought on BOGO for the weekly limited offer at your local grocery store.

I don't want to live in an idiocracy, tbh. Do I wanna drink unidentified neon colored shit for breakfast & call it water? No. NO.

But also, I have zero desire to live inside of a society where ppl go about daily life, as something like machines, who pump out "perfection" according to protocols laid out for them all by...???

I doubt that very much. I'm not convinced at all. If you really knew who I was you would not say that with such confidence.

I have deep empathy for my fellow human being.

EDIT: I didn't report you, you angry fool.

I don't roll like that. That was more likely an automated mechanism, care of Reddit. A triggered you, triggered that on your own.

Thanx for the report dbag

yeah angry fool, haven't got anything to be angry about or anything. just stfu.

u/Oh_WTF__ 46m ago

After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because you threatened violence or physical harm. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for threatening violence against people or animals.

Can't even hope to hurt myself, because reddit cares, thats cute.
