A 1997 science fiction movie which was conveniently labeled as portraying a dystopian society by the egalitarian media. Less is farther from the truth as Gattaca is about the joys of genetic engineering and describes a welfaring America filled with intelligent, healthy, and beautiful people who had their genes meddled with.
The story is about Vincent whose parents didn't bother to have his genes improved and consequently pay the price for their stupidity since Vincent is unlikely to live past age 30 due to a bad heart. Though the media portrays the society of this movie as the ultimate evil, Vincent and his bad heart grow up with caring parents, receives good education, gets to build a miniature rocket being totally obsessed with space travel, and generally enjoys all the good things of life in the land of the free.
Upon finishing his education he applies for a job at Gattaca, which is comparable to modern day NASA. As common sense would predict they turn him down since his heart, even in the rare chance it keeps on tumping for another 60 years, is far from strong. Fortunately for Vincent, being an all natural born human, his criminal genes weren't stripped either and he comes up with a cunning plan to cheat his way into a space flight to Titan.
The movie also displays what seems to be homeless people. Not only does this brave new world favor genetic engineering, they reject the socialistic bollocks to give tax money to people who are too lazy to work!
Gattaca is an excellent movie that is worth watching regardless of your personal delusions.

To create an atmosphere of ubiquitous physical perfection, director Andrew Niccol cast fashion models to get the typical Gattaca look and feel.

Dysgenics refers to the steady weakening and retardation of mankind due to welfare systems and other interesting side effects of civilization that prevents natural selection from doing it's job. Also, dumb people don't dig the basic concept of birth control causing them to have more children than smarter people who realise that kids are a major pain in the ass and should be avoided. Paranoid folks state that dysgenics will eventually result in the collapse of our civilization, but that's likely because they lack a sense of humor.
You can tell if you worry too much about dysgenics when you spend a day at the amusement park with a bunch of smiling, happy people, and when someone asks you if you’re enjoying yourself the only thing you can think of to say is, "You know, in 100 years this will all be gone".

Eugenics is a social philosophy which advocates the hereditary improvement of the human race by selective breeding. The supposed improvement generally comes down to ridding mankind of stupidity, which few people will disagree with unless you're talking serious politics, in which case the general consensus is that it'd be best if mankind goes extinct. To avoid confusion keep the following in mind, the Nazis favored eugenics, therefore eugenics is wrong.
You know you’re too deep into eugenics when half your friends are White Nationalists since they’re the only ones who actually listen to your ideas.

The general idea of evolution is that if a million monkeys bang a million monkeys they’d eventually produce a Shakespear.
If we are going to teach creation science as an alternative to evolution, then we should also teach the stork theory as an alternative to biological reproduction.
