High IQ people are intelligent enough to entertain themselves with things other then children. Either that or they realised life is inherently meaningless and they use that as an excuse to be a loser.
>>
>>2114379
If you're intelligent, you realize having a lot of kids isn't a good idea
>>
>>2114379

High IQ people generally spend longer in education and start their careers later. That pushes off financial security and thus they start having families later, which also enormously correlates with having fewer babies.
>>
all these serious replies and no one has mentioned that correlation does not equate to causation?

they're both causes of the same social factors but it's not that one causes the other

They know how to use condoms

Why do smart people get married if they are not planning to fabricate infants?

>tfw to intelligent to spell the meme correctly

People who have more wealth can afford a reproduction strategy that involves putting lot's of resources into fewer kids who now have a greater chance for success. This is in contrast to those without the resources to invest in their offspring who thus produce statistically more progeny so some might find success through sheer statistical mass. We find the same in nature, with creatures such as insects that do not put many resources into their children laying thousands of eggs while mammals, which tend to put time and resources into child rearing, have much fewer. Smart/Rich/"White" people are not "failing to breed", they are pursuing a more efficient reproduction strategy with a higher buy-in cost.

This is a worrying trend.
What can we do about the low int pleb problem?
>>
Amount of children a couple has depends on their income, probably more than anything else.

Highly educated people tend to have less children, not because they've realized that existence is meaningless, but because they don't need to pop out 8 children just to survive.

Compare this to the third world, where you do need as many working kids as possible to stay alive.

Really? Did not know this. Do you have any sources that I can read about this further?
