I think Tesla must have looked forward and saw the beginning of the movie Idiocracy.

More likely the writers of the movie knew that quote!

I think of this movie every time I look at politics.

True, but one may be surprised if one deeply analysis life dynamics as they may find that a vast majority of humans are quite fit, but it is their social contact that is gravely damaged.

Very true but you don't just discard human beings! There's a soul involved.

Only a soul if you believe in a higher being. I think he would have believed in energy not being able to be destroyed. If you consider energy being a sole, maybe.

Tesla was ahead of his time when technology was concerned but when it comes to eugenics he was a man of his time.
