stultolarity (n.)
As technological and social regress continue, people get dumber and dumber, until at some point, people become so stupid, it's no longer possible for a person of normal human intelligence to predict their actions or motivations. At that point, we can only extrapolate to primate-looking critters hooting obscenities, eating Cheetos, and watching shows that make Baywatch and the Benny Hill Show look like graduate lectures in the math department.
(And this is the point at which the economy transitions to Economics 0.0, in which a person of normal mental function simply cannot take part, due to an inability to understand the sorts of things the idiocracy will be willing to buy. A small colony of humans of normal intelligence are lurking around a nearby dwarf star; while their society is the highest and brightest that any humans have ever reached, they are also an impoverished backwater, because they simply can't make the kind of movies based on fart jokes and obscenity and crudeness that is required to take part in Economics 0.0.)
