This reads like a Dr. Evil plot.

  • Everything since ~2016 reads like a Dr. Evil plot! I swear it feels like the world is getting dumber around me.

      You've reminded me of when I first watched Idiocracy in 2006. At the time, I delighted in the comedic, sophomoreish, and seemingly ridiculous take on a possible trajectory of humanity. But now much of it is actually coming to pass. It's sad.

      P.s. As a sidenote, apparently I love all of Mike Judge's productions, which also includes Office Space, and Beavis and Butthead.
