[Idiocracy]Will the descendants of Protagonists basically end up living as literal Pharaohs ordering the masses to build giant pyramids to honor their God-Kings?

The movie shows us how there is no evolutionary pressure towards intelligence in their society, so everyone becomes dumb.  The protagonist having a few normal intelligence children guarantees those kids for greatness.  The problem however is that, assuming no incest, THOSE kids have children with partners from the rest of society... which will make them dumber every generation.  Given their relative vast intelligence of the kids and grandkids of the Protagonists they will surely come to dominate society.  Given how terribly dumb the rest of society is, by the time of Protagonists grandkids the danger of first-cousin inbreeding is probably less than the danger of severely reduced mental capacity of their children if they have children with anyone else...


So what you probably end up with is an incestuous dynasty of "super intelligent" people constant banging each other.  History has shown, sadly, that people with dictatorial power rarely use it responsibly, so it probably won't be that long until the descendants of Protagonists have the masses building giant pyramids in their honor?  We see in the movie how the masses are supremely gullible, if Protagonists descendants claim to be gods wouldn't they be believed?

Here's the trick, for every character we see who has visible signs of an actual congenital mental impairment, there are others (like the Doctor that Joe visits) who are probably average or better in terms of cognitive capacity and a few (like President Camacho) who may be of above average natural intelligence, but with the latter two categories severely hamstrung by poor education, health, and other handicaps. The world of Idiocracy seems to suffer more from problems of "nurture" than "nature"; humanity hasn't literally devolved, but society has stopped encouraging and supporting the development of the individual, creating a world where the stupid can thrive (or at least go unpunished and unashamed) and folks with the capacity to be smart are discouraged and unsupported.

With President Not Sure's platform of improving the overall quality of life and education, there's a high chance of their being at least *some* decent candidates for marrying into his family by the time his kids come of age. That, and push comes to shove >!Upgraydd provides another source of a "vintage" genetic legacy, and could buy them a few extra generations before everything goes to shit with careful management.!<
