Camacho was actually a very good president. He didn’t ignore, downplay, or blame the opposition for the crop crisis. He found the smartest guy in the world to solve it, listened to the expert, took brave action in the face of corporate opposition, and gave full credit to whom it was due. Camacho 2024!

IMO this perspective makes the movie a Utopia not a Dystopia because we sure as hell aren't finding the smartest people to run our world. America's VP was chosen based on Skin color and body parts and the other option was a reality TV host. The last place our smart people go is the government...If we don't collapse I give it 50 years until corporations take over control of America because the governments incompetence is too great.

@@danielfietkau733 What I mean by takeover is the 2 party system dies and we don't vote for a person we vote for a corporation. It will be Apple VS Microsoft in the 2120 Election instead of Giant Duche vs Turd Sandwich. It will still be an illusion of choice just like today but the choices will be corporations instead of people...and if AI actually becomes AI those corporations will have AI representatives making the phrase 'Corporations are people too' a factual statement instead of a legal statement. But corporate power is getting consolidated what was 50 corporations in an industry is now 1 or 2 both with the exact same objectives which makes this movies social observations/predictions even better.

@@thehumansmustbecrazy impossible, the base of this issue is already a very real problem today. low iq people will have kids even if they can't afford or care for them, while intelligent people don't do that. therefor dumb people will always out compete intelligent people as they literally reproduce at a rate of 3:1 only solution is remove all welfare and social programs that give money to low iq people who pump out babies, and give that money to high iq people so they can have larger families easier. The fact is our taxes subsidize the dumb people of this nation and allow them to thrive.

Camacho was part of the problem - likely a big part, but a leader knows you have to hedge your bets and not disregard something because it sounds crazy. Think "Contact" or "World War Z" or even "Search for Red October". He stumbled onto this smart guy (some underling was paying attention) who said he had a cure for the crops, but then nearly had him re-educated. It all sounds uncannily similar to a businessman (or WWF wrestler) turned politician we've already had experience with.

Funnily enough someone just said that to me after I made a comment America hasn’t won a war on its own since 1898. That “We showed up late til WW1 and wouldn’t have won WW2 without the other Allie’s especially the Soviets (which we don’t want to admit). But they lost 27 million vs our 600,000 and captured and killed more Germans in a single offensive than we fought and struggled with in the entirety of Europe/N Africa. But even the Civil War was whitewashed in our history classes (“states rights” weren’t a thing til after they lost and realized it wasn’t a good look to say “you died fighting a war because your local plantation owners didn’t want to pay for labor”).” Before that I had never heard someone say you aren’t “one of the zombies”. I just try to view things objectively though it’s nearly impossible BUT I think it’s something to strive for. But pointing to the facts is not something people wanna hear.

Indeed, it is the silver lining in that movie. It isn't just the president either, every single character has this sort of 'aura of innocence' about themselves. They don't do anything with malice , just stupid actions they think correct due to a lack of understanding. Even the concept of lying to each other is something they can't wrap their heads around.... So many twists in that movie, it is one of the few I re-watch for a reason.

I had really Dunning-Kruger'd myself in my 20s thinking I had it all together and tied up perfectly, but as I got older and started to see my true limits and capabilities I gradually lost that sense that others (ANY "others" including companies, politicians, so-called "experts" etc.) had the answers. Eventually you realize that it's 99% blind people groping around in the darkness... and they don't even know what they're lookin' for. Aside from obvious logical functions, every single thing someone ever tells you that you don't have a way to verify is just you taking them at their word.

Aside from obvious logical functions, every single thing someone ever tells you that you don't have a way to verify is just you taking them at their word." THE BAD NEWS: Unfortunately for us, Alan is in a minority and a large number of people are moving in the OPPOSITE direction: CONSPIRACY Theories, in which there is a very small, very smart elite who DO have all the answers but they're 100% self-serving and don't care about us peons at all. This is very dangerous because when REAL experts tell us things, like the 99.9% of climate scientists who tell us that the world climate could careen out of all known limits unless we change what we're doing, and thus the consequences of doing nothing could be catastrophic, the vast number of deniers, conspiracists, southern Bible punchers all unite to tell us that it's false, we're just being tricked, etc. We need to start respecting experts in their field, not instinctively repudiating them as hated elites. OTOH, don't listen to experts like Professor Jordan Peterson, a master of human psychology, if they use their platform to voice unqualified opinions (like Dr. Peterson's bad idea that we shouldn't do anything about Climate Change). MORE BAD NEWS: Since I brought up Climate Change, you might think I'm a 'Green Party' environmentalist.. but most of them are just as unscientific as the redneck monster truck owners. eg: Until we invent affordable grid-scale battery tech, wind & solar can NEVER represent more that a small percent of total electrical generation capacity; nuclear power generation is the ONLY viable option to reduce CO2 & make power. And there is NO scientific problem with safely storing the incredibly tiny amounts of nuclear waste, it's a political NIMBY issue, nothing more. PS: Where can I get me some Brawndo? That stuff is awesome!

As you learn things, along the way you realize how complicated everything is and how you really don't know much at all. It's a really profound and humbling insight, and at the same time really exiting. The most direct result of this is when you start to think about how pointless all the superficial, affirmation seeking people around you really are. It can really easy turn into a contempt for the whole world in all it's shallowness. So when you find your self saying something cynical, remember that you're not the only one who knows why.

Mike Judge has made some of the most insightful and deep movies of the last 50 years. I went to "Office space" and came out feeling validated for how my life had mirrored the movie through the 1990's. I didn't see "Idiocracy" in the theater but sought it out about a year after release on the recomandation of a co-worker. He was the first to use the phrase "documentary" in regards to the film, that I had heard. Mike Judge and the "South Park" gang speak truth to power and need protected at all costs.

In a person who is mechanically oriented, I worked on machines, all of my life. The new cars and stuff are ridiculously over engineered, and most products are made out of degradable plastics and just subpar materials that will not last very long and people are forgetting how to repair things. It’s pretty scary to an old man like me. Most people would have no idea how to make a fire without a freaking lighter.

And then to note that that constant barrage of time having been spent making a choice about myself/my life in comparison to ads/content not only creates a reflection of myself but also makes it even more difficult to separate myself from the identity I’ve anchored inside of corporations and ideals I never got to choose.

This is why I am of the belief that corporations should not be allowed to be bought by other corporations, and one corporation should not be able to own and use competing brands. The only time a corporation should be able to sell its assets is when it is in bankruptcy. At no point should a corporation be able to buy a customer base or customer information. When I gave Company A permission to have my information I did not give Company B that permission, Company B buying Company A should not change that situation. I focus here on corporations and not businesses in general because I think if someone owns a business, but never made it a corporation that person should have more freedom to do what they want with it because that business is an extension of the owner instead of being its own independent legal entity that the owner just control.

Then Windows 95 came out and suddenly we were inundated with calls about software problems that couldn’t be fixed because they were bugs in Microsoft’s code.

OP, the big problem with the video author's argument is that we can't possibly know everything. While the advice to 'think for yourself' is a good one, if you're not employing legitimate critical thinking, rational thinking and logical argumentation skills, then you're just going to engage in the same tautological circles the president's cabinet was in the movie. We live in a very complex, technological society which necessitates deferring (outsourcing) to expertise. The real challenge for our time is learning critical, etc., thinking skills, and the ability to discern actual experts from posers for clicks. Keep in mind that even experts can be wrong sometimes. Be very suspicious when an 'expert' starts opining or pontificating on topics and fields outside their expertise. Some good places to start in how to discern an expert is to ask: who is incorporating all the facts vs. who is cherry-picking the ones they like; who is admitting to and correcting their mistakes vs. who is hand-waving them or pretending they didn't make them; who is using sound reasoning and appealing to intellect vs. who is being hyperbolic and appealing to emotion or creating outrage. None of these are exhaustive or fool-proof, just a good place to start. One more thing to keep in mind: not everyone on the opposite ideological spectrum from you is wrong, nor is everyone on the same side you're on right.

Wow this was way deeper and more thought-provoking than I went in expecting, thanks for the thorough and interesting take! The analysis of luxury brands as “subjects supposed to know” via pre-packaged value systems was weirdly similar to the way I was raised to understand the spiritual pitfall of idolatry, namely, that precious things can become your god, and that we are susceptible to it today even if we don’t literally believe that our gold controls the weather or whatever.

Can't help but drop this comparison: "Brawndo's got what plants crave: it's got electrolytes." vs. "It's safe and effective." Your thesis is highly applicable. Some people who like to consider themselves more intelligent than the population of Idiocracy, will have to think long and hard about that.

@@1q34w You didn't think long and hard, it would seem. I'm anti-lies. What exactly is an anti-vaxxer to you? Is that an umbrella term that just throws away a whole section of people including doctors and other medical professionals so you don't have to consider merits of anything they understand to be true or have observed? Are they all just one type of person? Are you better than them or do you know how they all get to their conclusions? I'm curious how you handle different perspectives than your own.

@@1q34w Yes, a doctor who gets their licenses taken and career/reputation ruined gets power and wealth. That's new to me. I'm aware of possible grifters, but that's not going to be the possible for most. And I'm sorry but if you follow the money, it screams loud and clear who benefits from the agendas pushed on us. Tells you exactly who set this all in place. Even following the money for the controlled opposition. There is no "vaccine" that is universally for everyone. Specifically, no vaccine that is universally safe for everyone. If a doctor identifies a risk to their patient, but can't advise against it because they will lose their job... that's not the operation of an agenda based on health and truth. The truths of the matter go very deep and at the very least warrant more questioning than anyone was allowed and/or willing to do at that time and ongoing since then. Besides all this... HUMAN RIGHTS/BODILY AUTONOMY are not just merely talking points for sensationalism but actual concerns for everyone, no matter how "safe and effective" any medical intervention may actually be.

sometimes I wonder if hylics are actually real and these people dont have souls in the first place, people getting sick and die only AFTER they take it, having to take it continously to not lose effectiveness and finally not taking it anymore and thinking you're safe, more people staying sick and countries/communities that didnt take it not experiencing any fallout, even their personal experience should tell them there is something off.

@pkz420
@pkz420 Ай бұрын
Evil, or selfish behaviour, has *always* been the dominant social force. All of human history. It is not "spreading", it's already here, and always was. Good has always been outnumbered by evil. The smart have always been outnumbered by the dumb. And the educated have always been outnumbered by the ignorant. None of that is new, or growing. Despite this, humanity continues to Forest Gump its way into progress. The world is safer today than ever. Less violence, less diseases, less racism, less famine, more prosperity, more freedoms, and longer lifespans for all. It's not intuitive, and may seem like a contradiction, but any look through history will prove it is undeniably true.
