Actually, I did have a thought, ideas like those presented in the Marching Morons (Idiocracy is intentionally comical, so it doesn't seem right bash it directly too much) might be a case of projecting a perceived cultural decline onto genetics. Remember that people gravitate to "sciencey" explanations, even if they're wrong, so perhaps rather than a simple idea of cultural suicide, a biological explanation is preferred because genetics is complicated and far more "sciencey". Not to mention how blaming biology makes it an uncontrollable inevitability, which robs us of any and all responsibility for it.
