Anyone having kids in this era are none too smart.
In one sense, you’re absolutely right. It’s crazy to think about bringing a kid into this world.
In another sense, if we don’t add to the world by raising GOOD people, we are contributing to its demise.
Everyone has the ability to become a good person. I don’t believe that we are born inherently good or bad. However, how we are raised really really matters, so here is a case for a better education system and for adoption :).
I don’t know that I’m smarter than average, but I do think it was smart of my wife and I to wait until our 30s to have a child. We got to spend our 20s as an independent couple and enjoy it and then, when we were settling down, we got to raise a child, the best thing that ever happened to me, when we were able to do so without sacrificing too much.
