This isn't a dig at people without kids, you do you, I just find it interesting that our brightest minds also tend to be leaves on the tree, never becoming branches. They just leave their toys for the rest to play with, kind of undermining our actual progress.

I'm not in a relationship so kids are not exactly on the radar, but it feels like the current progress being made is incredibly backwards, and I wouldn't wanna bring a kid to live in this godforsaken world.

Fascinating. I wonder if there is some other confounding factor here.

When you have to work for decades to pay off the cost of education (that the state used to heavily subsidize), much less ever afford a house, much LESS ever afford a house big enough to raise kids, is it any shock that those bright and motivated enough to be the best aren't able to spare the time any more?
