An excellent book you can read online that rips apart the population control arguments we have practically institutionalized in America:

Not in what you would call the OT, it's not. Which was sort of Armoth's point, I think.

Should it be stated either as "Calculus is integral to life" or "Life is a derivative of calculus"?

I am generally considered to be quite intelligent. For many years, I was sure I did not want kids. Now I am only mostly sure. Until/unless I am rich enough to buy my way out of any legal trouble, I feel it would be irresponsible to have children that may be taken away from me because of what I choose to put into my bloodstream.

Why does it matter if stupid people breed? The way I see it, all humans (or at least the vast majority) are power-hungry bullies. Stupid humans are no worthier than smart humans, and in many ways they are easier to fight. If my relative intelligence is increasing without my having to put forth any effort, good. Perhaps it will be easier to exploit the stupid people for personal gain.

Let me just say, Danzig, that I wholly support your decision not to have children.
