The Continuation
The continuation of Fueling the emotional computer. An epic tale of how to feel emotion through media from one sociopath to another.
Fear
When it comes to fear obviously your first thought would be just some dime a dozen horror movie. I’ve got something better and much more terrifying.
Idiocracy
Private Joe Bauers, the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.
With low IQ families continuously reproducing versus the high IQ families’ idea of having a kid when the time is right and investing everything into them, it is undoubted that the plot in this movie will actually happen. The reliable idea of natural selection is thrown out the window since higher IQ humans are making everything safe for those on the other end of the spectrum. With no natural predators or dangers to eliminate the lower IQ side of humanity they will just continue to increase at a rate that far exceeds the higher IQ families. Then eventually a couple hundred years in the future, we’re all full of blinded patriotism and saying things like “childrens do learn.” Scary.
Joy
Amelie
Amelie, an innocent and naive girl in Paris, with her own sense of justice, decides to help those around her and along the way, discovers love.
If you want the ultimate feel good movie Amelie is it. This movie reminds the watcher about how the little things in life nobody notices can have such meaning. Amelie’s quest to do nice things for people is truly inspirational which will make you want to go out and do it yourself, but if you’re like me you’ll probably just return the DVD to Blockbuster and forget all about it.
To be continued... again.

Hadn't seen Idiocracy but it
Hadn't seen Idiocracy but it sounds like it was inspired by the short story "The Marching Morons", which I have a copy of somewhere in my massive pile of books back at home.
Incidentally, there is no consistent pattern of intelligence being affected by genealogy, despite lots of research. It has much more to do with class than genes.
