Simple question. Do you plan to have kids in the future? Would be nice to see the distribution of this in the Elite.

If you have an above average intelligence and choose not to have kids, you are literally doing a disservice to humanity.  Because for every 0 kids you have, some idiots of the world with 70 IQs from third world countries are having 17 children.

You ought to love me then Goose, M.S. degree in electromagnetics and radar and five kids ;)

I did a brief survey of our engineering group and of the 30 or so couples in our group, the average birth rate was about 1.2. There were a surprising number of people with no children. And I do agree with you that in general, people in STEM fields tend to be more career-driven and are pretty much unintentionally killing off their "breed".

Not that this should drive everyone's choices or that not having children is a bad choice (it's obviously not mine), but it is a pretty common choice in STEM fields and educated people in general.

I want to reach kids at a larger scale by being a teacher, giving them good cultural and ethical values, science knowledge, critical thinking, happiness - and less ideology and political indoctrination.
I do already have a nephew in my life. I'm not sure about having kids, but the thought of having a wife and raising a family does lighten my heart, so I tend to lean 'yes'.

Yes. Actually, I can't wait to have kids. Although, seeing as I'm currently single, without a permanent home and job, I'll probably be closing in on 35 before starting a family.

If I ever want kids I'll adopt. Either side can be argued as a disservice or reason of selfishness.

I'm choosing to live my own life and influence others positively. I don't need my own children to prove that I've done or attempted to do that. It's silly in my perspective.

That being said, it would take a VERY special woman to change that perspective.

I will have a kid because Doris wants a kid.

The kid will be extremely smart. I'm like IQ 140+ and Doris very smart (for a woman) 120+ IQ (and asian). So the kid will be smart + good attention span and will probs be a child prodigy in all likely hood.

Also the kid will be about 20x more socially/emotionally aware than the other kids so if it's a boy it will score so much pussy it's not funny. Seriously, it's not funny. So much fucking pussy it's crazy. I'll teach him what he needs to know in order to score unlimited amounts of pussy.

If it's a girl I'm fucked cause I only know how to secure pussy.
