> It also begs the question, who’s really more intelligent? The person who spent their prime years pontification, or the person who won the evolution game? You're right, who's smarter? The people who manage to reproduce thus pass on their genes or the ones that are "too smart" not to?

It may sound bad, but in my mind, purposefully bringing children into the world without security to care for them seems immensely evil and selfish.
