of course we won't kill ourselves off in 2000 years...the world is ending in 4 years as a side note, I don't actually believe that...I just like saying it :p

Actually, not as long as that.

Actually, I heard that it was blown majorly out of proportion. :O

Though that would suck if we all died in nine days. I still have never gotten to do so many things! Like.... Uh.... ... ... ..

Seeing the God awful english dub of Ouran Host Club? :O

After AWA, please. Then we can have all the apocalypse you want.

Also, in response to the OP: Robots.

Coincidentally, I watched Idiocracy last night. I can see things going that way. Our mastery of technology is always increasing, but the average person is not getting any smarter.

YEESS!! Haha, that movie was wicked. And partially agree with you. There will always be smart and dumb people, always have been. But the gap does seem to be widening.
As for the world ending ... even if it IS being blown out of proportion .... who who the fuck would allow an experiment even remotely similar to that if those kinds of results were even .0000001% likely to occur?!

From a different (less pleasant point of view) - we need dumb people. People who are content to sweep our floors, pick our food, and flip our burgers and not go batshit insane while doing it. Sure we have impoverished minorities and illegal immigrants for that now, but with the whole "march towards equality for all people" bullshit that we've started towards in the last 20 or so years, simply financially oppressing scores of immigrants is becoming less okay. Dumb people aren't a race though, so it's okay - at least for now.

We don't NEED dumb people to mop our floors and flip our burgers, we DONT need things like restaurants. People are more then capable of cooking for themselves and cleaning up after themselves. Convincing them to do what may prove difficult, but it's not like they will die from doing those things.
And lets stop saying dumb ... that word erks me, everyone is smart in a different way. Just because you don't understand what they are good at you call them dumb ... which sort of makes you look dumb. :/

You are such a product of the 80s/90s. Here's a wake up call - people aren't all equal just because the songs you sang in kindergarten said they were. Some people are intellectually inferior - which doesn't mean calling them dumb is a bad thing or has a negative connotation. They're just not cut out to be scientists or engineers. Comparatively, that makes them dumb. Perhaps it's a loaded word choice... perhaps something sterile-sounding like "cognitively deficient" would be better.

Their service to society is invaluable in both the labor preform for society and the things they choose to spend their paychecks on - without them, the economy would collapse, so don't suggest that their jobs could be preformed by anyone without consequence (unless you're advocating genocide to keep the economy going). Now who looks dumb?
