> I don't want the world to be populated by people who think like me.

I didn’t want kids for the same reasons, and because I am highly anxious and the world seems pretty grim place.

Ended up marrying a girl who wanted kids, so now we have kids. I am happy to be parent but now that I am hanging out with other parents, there are no longer intellectual discussions. Everyone seems more focused on the money. And honestly it seems there is a relationship between number of kids and intelligence. These people are happier though.

Now I sort of hope my kids don’t think like me. Even if it means overpopulation.
