> "Don't have kids, for sustainability" is just an argument that the children of low-IQ low-conscientiousness people should inherit the Earth. I'll play devil's advocate and say, maybe they should. Who do you think has a lower ecological footprint - a homeless alcoholic or a successful scientist? There is even a theory that posits that intelligence evolved in order to increase entropy faster. I have nothing against intelligence; it's a gift, as far as I can tell. But the claim that intelligent people (with few exceptions) are somehow going to live more sustainably is just ridiculous.
