Americans are good at telling stories

I originally thought "The Evolution of the Stupid" was a nonsensical drama, and the first half of the film did not have any waves. When I saw the protagonist being ordered to save the dealer and arguing with the officials, "Because G beverage contains electrolytes, so we should use G beverage instead of water", I had a strong sympathy and felt the irony is so pungent! I think an important reason why there are far more excellent films in the United States than ours is that Americans are good at telling stories and can directly touch the hearts of the audience.

"Momentum Evolution" is a "rock and roll fairy tale", stripped of the "rock and roll" coat, you can feel a lot of things worth thinking about. People credulously believe that "only G beverages can bring nutrition and vitality" because of the G company's advertisement, and the unthinking acceptance of this concept is an example.

When laughing at the mentally retarded "idiots", reflect on this: Isn't our life like this? Nowadays, pregnant women or young children need to take a lot of "health products". The milk powder for pregnant women should be equipped with sufficient folic acid, various "amino acids", "trace elements" and so on. It seems that only by eating such milk powder can a healthy baby be born, and the child can grow up vigorously. In the past, people's living conditions were not very good, but they could guarantee normal vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk. Some families could only eat vegetables, eggs and brown sugar. Under these conditions, isn't the mother's baby healthy? Now the standard of living has generally improved, and I am not opposed to eating nutritional products. After all, we already have this condition. However, for the sake of sales and profit, those companies use advertising to numb people's minds and describe their products as essential products. Most people only know that there are essential nutrients, and do not know that normal food can provide sufficient nutrition (the issue of food safety is not discussed here). If you ask "Where do folic acid and amino acids come from and why are they important?", most people can't answer? How similar is this to the plot in the movie (what is electrolyte? Is drinking mineral water healthier than plain water?)?

In the movie, people are encouraged to read more and not to give up the right of evolution to the machine. Now we young people are accustomed to using the Internet, and we search if we don’t understand the problem. Our brain is equivalent to a hard disk, and data can be "copy" in from the computer at any time. If you forget, you can always Baidu, Google, and then "copy". Shouldn't the brain be changed to have the function of a CPU? We are constantly thinking while reading, so that our brains can continuously upgrade! The film warns people not to give up the opportunity to improve IQ. Otherwise, what people will end up leaving is only some instinctive desires that don't need to think about eating, drinking, and sex!

Perhaps due to the need to highlight the theme, the film only conceives the degradation of human intelligence, and does not mention emotional intelligence. Both human intelligence and emotional quotient are important to the progress of society. Taking these two aspects into consideration, it is a good choice to look at "Moron Evolution" and "Iceman" together.
