Stupidity Virus

[rvm45]

Friends,

Imagine a Virus that strikes 89% of the people and drops their IQ ABOUT 17-Points—up to 20 OR 21-Points occasionally..

Well, Joe-six-pack, with a depressingly average IQ of 100 will now have an IQ of 83—below "Low-Normal" (Down to 90) and well into borderline mental retardation.

You can PROBABLY, tell that the fellow in question has become slower and thicker-witted; but IQ mainly affects how quickly and easily that someone can learn new mental skills. People with IQ lowering brain damage can get by on already acquired skills and knowledge to a degree.

Where we are REALLY going to be hurtin for certain is in the next generation of technicians; doctors; scientists; etcetera.

Let us also assume that while 11% of people seem naturally immune; that all the children born to the afflicted will also be afflicted—the Virus alters the DNA.

Also, if the human race can endure another 25-years, WHAT will the Poll-Lick-Tick-Kall climate be like in 25-years with all of the dumbed-down voters diluting the public quorum?

Imagine a boy with a well over normal IQ—the child of unaffected parents—he navigates through a world filled with the stupid while trying to stay below the RADAR, lest he be forcibly recruited into a Government Atelier for the gifted…

Reminds me of A Wind Called Amnesia. YT link:

And of course, there's the movie Idiocracy, also on YT.

Friend,

I thought of "Idiocracy"—someday I need to watch that movie in its entirety…

However, "Idiocracy" is a bit of a parody. The rank and file have NO IDEA that they're stupid and their society seems to be functioning—after a fashion—despite their stupidity.

I wanted to imagine the measures that serious men might take to try to preserve their society.

We joke about the stupidity of Politicians, but many/most have IQ'S in the high 120's or low 130's—even after taking a 17-point hit, they should STILLbe bright enough to see a shit-storm on the horizon

I wonder where we would;d first feel the pinch?

Amnesia was the first anima movie I ever saw. This was WAY back when AMC would show commercials before or after a movie and my copy is on VHS. As to Idiocracy, you're right. I mean, those people are beyond mentally handicapped. it took awhile, but someone finally put the entire movie on YT, so I watched it.

We currently have the most qualified leaders for Idiocracy in the White House.

Friend,

Our "Commander and Cheat" is apparently suffering from senility. As much as I didn't like him or his ilk, it no longer seems appropriate to denigrate or insult him—his HISTORY AND HIS POLITICS—sure—just not the man himself.

IF we may make an analogy: IQ is like the processing speed and efficiency of your biological computer.

Given an IQ of "X" It is entirely another question whether you chose to fill your mental software with good stuff or trash…

WELL…

To some degree, folks are held back by trash programs that their parents; their schools and the mass media downloaded into them.

Clearing out all the "Group-Think" cobwebs is far more difficult than purging a Computer Virus.

Most Politicians are full up to the brim with bad Paradigms that make thinking morally and constructively almost impossible…

But that has little or nothing to do with IQ.

It isn't EASY to kiss-ass and toe-the-party-line while simultaneously appealing to the masses to get erected.

All joking aside, I would guess that MOST Comngressmen have IQ's in the 120's to 130's…

You can have an IQ of 300 and still be a pandering; statist IDIOT.
