If you have not watched the documentary, Idiocracy, you really should do it. Now. Intended to be a satirical look at how modern culture has succumbed to what Neil Postman wrote about in his article, “Future Schlock,” the film demonstrates a society that has been “amused into stupidity.” Of course, it is not really a documentary, but it might as well be.
One scene in particular is clearly describing a modern situation that threatens to arrive sooner, rather than later: the garbage avalanche.
