I also believe fairly strongly that the 'simple' interpretation of what Gates said (through his disgusting smirk) is the accurate one. Vaccines will kill a ton of people, and make the rest into a kind of Idiocracy which is easy to control and which poses zero threat to the rich and powerful.
That presumes there is someone other than idiots in the Idiocracy. At least in the movie,
there was not, with the exception of two from the past.
We're certainly not seeing evidence of any rich and powerful who are much of anything but idiots.
Completely NOT true.
- Someone commissioned the giant digital clock, for instance, and it didn't install itself in the tower.
- Some unseen entity runs the system which keeps track of the peeps digital money (and lets their corporate friends defraud the peeps.)
- Some unseen entity analyzes the IQ scores and was able to find the peep who scored highest.
The peeps in Idiocracy didn't see any other class of people so they assumed they didn't exist (as did you I might add.) One of the characteristics of a low IQ person is an inability to make inferences. For instance, that mm wave frequencies from 5G phased array antennas could possibly have any harmful physiological effects unless there are videos of people getting thermally cooked and vanishing into a puff of smoke.
