Science Fiction in English _ The Marching Morons by C. M. Kornbluth
"The Marching Morons" is a science fiction short story by C. M. Kornbluth published in Galaxy Science Fiction April 1951, and is one of his most famous works. It depicts the deterioration of human intelligence and the resulting dystopian future.
The story begins when John Barrington, a real estate agent, wakes up 300 years into the future. The future he encounters is a world where a small number of highly intelligent elites manage billions of low-intelligence people. The average intelligence of humanity has been extremely low, but thanks to highly advanced technology, it appears as if society is functioning normally.
Through this work, Kornbluth addresses complex ethical issues such as eugenics, population control, and social responsibility. In particular, he sharply presents the social problems that the polarization of intelligence can cause and the moral dilemmas that solutions to them can bring. This novel contains a warning message about the impact of scientific and technological advancements on human evolution and the social conflicts that can arise from differences in intellectual ability. It is considered a pioneering work that predicted many problems in modern society and has become a classic in the SF genre.
Summary
In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man, of course, is king. But how about a live wire, a smart businessman, in a civilization of 100% pure chumps?
Some things had not changed. A potter's wheel was still a potter's wheel and clay was still clay. Efim Hawkins had built his shop near Goose Lake, which had a narrow band of good fat clay and a narrow beach of white sand. He fired three bottle-nosed kilns with willow charcoal from the wood lot. The wood lot was also useful for long walks while the kilns were cooling; if he let himself stay within sight of them, he would open them prematurely, impatient to see how some new shape or glaze had come through the fire, and?ping!?the new shape or glaze would be good for nothing but the shard pile back of his slip tanks.
