>majority of population has always been dumb

But idiocracy is not about that majority. It is about the thought leaders becoming dumb. Internet, instead of elevating the majority to the level of intellectuals, dragged the intellectuals to the level of the dumb majority.

If you mix poison in milk, milk becomes poison and not the other way. Pretty obvious in hindsight..

As i said “they are getting power”. Through exposure, normalization, through all the dumb people getting vote rights (and voting guess how) etc.

Nothing is poisoned in tge human nature. It just plays out differently in this age.
