The Jewish Community of Porto is not content with being a leader in promoting Jewish culture and history. The organization has gradually insisted on comparing its work with the society that woke communism has produced. The Jewish museum has just screened 10 minutes of a film.

The full film Idiocracy is a tasteless film that can only appeal to people with narrow-mindedness. However, those few minutes are more than appropriate, as they are inspired by a well-crafted book that belongs to the best anticipatory literature, "The Marching Morons". This book was written by the Jewish American author Cyril Michael Kornbluth in 1951. It is a satirical science fiction novella that takes place centuries in the future, where society's intelligence has drastically declined due to differential birth rates—a tiny minority of competent geniuses struggles slavishly to keep a world of overpopulated, intellectually impaired masses functioning.

Kornbluth was born in New York to a family of Polish-Jewish heritage. His mother was born in Poland, and his father was a second-generation American whose own father was a Jewish immigrant tailor from Galicia.

The 2006 film Idiocracy's criticisms of corporate monopolies, declining education, and media sensationalism are often cited as uncomfortably accurate to current events. Its satire of an anti-intellectual future has increasingly mirrored modern reality.

Society has evolved to value spectacle, loud entertainment, and base desires over critical thinking and complex problem-solving. Large megacorporations dictate culture and public infrastructure, much like the omnipresent brands in the film.

Humanity has reached such a point that, in order to debate, it is necessary to prove the obvious. Facts and basic biology are considered absurd.

The central character of the film discovers that all natural agriculture has failed because the population has been watering the crops with a highly caffeinated sports drink called Brawndo. When he tries to explain the fundamental logic that agriculture needs water, he faces immediate pushback from the President's cabinet.

Because the fictional corporation has brainwashed the masses and bought out the government, the glaringly obvious solution to use water is treated as a bizarre, offensive concept. The officials simply repeat their ad slogan "Brawndo's got electrolytes".

Here's the government debate. Attorney General: "So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops?... Like out the toilet?" Secretary of Energy: "Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet." Secretary of State: "Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes."

The film's core premise—that highly educated and intelligent people are having fewer children than the less-educated population—is a real, ongoing demographic debate. In modern times, even the consensus regarding the definitions of "man" and "woman" has fractured, largely because the foundational criteria used to define these terms have shifted. While there was historically broad agreement, the modern debate separates biological classification from internal identity and social role.
