Carson - we are saying that it is dumb to do in your 20s if you have income you could otherwise invest. Early investments trump later investments. We're not saying don't have kids. We're saying that 20-somethings could do themselves a favor by thinking long term. If people are going to have kids, then I certainly want the smart, hard-working, forward-looking people to have kids. We're not arguing against that. We're making an argument about a time of life. Personally, I have a daughter whom I love very much. She was not planned. I'm not actually sure that this planet will be a good place for her or for humans in a few decades, at the rate we are changing the environment. Given that we are headed for large-scale natural disaster, you could argue that the Idiocracy already prevails. Or from another angle, that humans act like idiots when in large groups. In either case, the quality of the humans reproducing may be a moot point.
