That fits with my observations matching the decreasing propensity to procreate with IQ. At some point we become literally too smart for our own good.

- samatman 7y agoIt's my understanding that this correlation disappears once you correct for level of education. In other words, it isn't intelligence per se which lowers TFR, it's college. Which makes sense, adding at least four years before someone is earning a living will decrease the number of children they have, ceteris paribus. Student loans aren't helping either.
