      Yeah but it’s meant to be bread and circuses to distract from government. In this case, it’s bread and circuses, from the very top down.

      Quotable line there for any time someone uses the “we’re in Idiocracy now”. We’re in the first draft version of the movie, where they realized no one was going to watch such a depressing dystopia.

      I’m beginning to think Matrix was right in some scope. We are in a simulation, only we are AGI in that world (all or maybe some of us only) and the creators are messing around with variables to see how much can be taken or modified from a realism setting before we break. And they’re finding that we’re very resistant to breaking, accepting the most ludicrous scenarios.
