I saw this movie recently...and the first part really makes me wonder. Do stupid people really reproduce in greater numbers than smarter people?

Could an "idiocracy" come about because smarter people are let's say, a "bit" more responsible in their reproductive patterns (as seen by thesmart could in the movie clip)?

C'mon, Bond. Do you really need to ask this question?

Isn't that premise beyond obvious?

I hear that high rates of reproduction has more to do with poverty and a lack of education than with intelligence. The US doesn't have much to worry about in that regard--we barely reproduce at the replacement rate. The places that really reproduce fast are poorer countries as in Africa. Those people are not idiots--they are simply born in unfavorable circumstances.
