    Have you watched Idiocracy? I consider myself a smart guy, and having children is my way to fight against the world getting stupider.

    Also, it is a joy. Yeah, it’s expensive, and yeah, it’s a ton of work. But it’s like working on a very big project that you know you’ll be proud of when it’s done. I didn’t understand it before because I only experienced other people’s children, but it’s different with your own children in a way that’s hard to explain.

      Idiocracy is eugenics propaganda. People don’t get dumber because of their genes but because of worse education.
      Like the other commenter said, adopt if you want to improve the world (and not just your own life), but that’s harder without the biological attachment that comes from your own kids.
