uh? I always understood the justification of getting to Idiocracy was that only dumb people kept on having kids, the issue was not that they were genetically deficient, but that they couldn't care less about education, ethics, societal improvement, etc
Whether it's genetic or memetic the implication is that it's what they're passing down to their kids that's the problem.
Yes but memetics is a far cry from eugenics
However much like eugenics, it's shockingly hard to engage in it's memetic equivalent without genocide.
