Welcome to “the future”

Idiocracy is a 2006 American satirical science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, and Terry Crews.

The film tells the story of two people who take part in a top-secret military hibernation experiment, only to awaken 500 years later in a dystopian society where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism have run rampant and that is devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and coherent notions of justice and human rights.

If you haven’t seen this classic “guilty pleasure” film here is your opportunity. The “in joke” is that it is not an updating of Rip Van Winkle or Woody Allen’s Sleeper. This is now. Ask any teacher.
