Comment on Ask HN: What's going to happen to the not so smart people of our world?

Comments

The movie "Idiocracy", in its first five minutes, tackles this exact same question, in hilarious fashion.

Suffice it to say, technology will evolve to accommodate (barely) the lowest-common denominator of intelligence, which has a significantly higher rate of replication than the smart people have (which is so low they will die out).

In other words, many believe the not-so-smart will do better than the "more smarter" people, by many measures.
