Idiocracy

The other day I got to see the movie 'Idiocracy'. It was suppose to be a comedy
about two very average people getting sent into the future through a
military experiment. They arrive in the year 2500 and realize that society as
dumbed down so much, that they are the smartest people in the world.
Despite the fact, that the movie was terrible (1/5), its original premise made
me think. The thought is, that stupid people reproduce at a much higher rate
than smart people and over time, lets say a couple hundred years, the IQ of the
whole society is lower than the score of a baseball game.
I wonder if there is a grain of truth to that. I mean, we are living in a country
where more people vote for American Idol than for the president, where
a TV quiz show gives you money for showing the same intelligence as a 5th
grader. And its not just the US. I just read an article in a German magazine
that students don't finish their engineering majors because its too 'hard'.
So, does that mean we are regressing back into the stone age? Right now,
stupidity is not only tolerated it is encouraged. For example, if you are
stupid enough to buy a house you couldn't afford in the first place, don't
worry, the government will bail you out.
I wish I had a time machine and could jump forward a couple
hundred of years. Maybe 'Planet of the Apes' got it right after all.

On a more positive note, here some local restaurant ratings:
bd's Mongolian barbecue - Novi (2.5/5)
This was your typical Mongolian barbecue. Typical chain place, but they
way overcooked my food and the service wasn't that great either.
2.5 Schnitzelwagen

Mirchi - Indian Restaurant - Novi - (3.5/5)
I forgot the exact name, but it is a small place on the corner of Novi Rd.
and Grand River Av. The food was very good, even for somebody like
me who doesn't like super spicy food. The service was ok. For some
reason I never had good service at any Indian restaurant I've been.
A solid 3.5 Schnitzelwagen.
