I mean before I accidentally had a kid, I felt the same way but acknowledged that it was because I was selfish and lazy....not because I was a genius. When I hear people say something along the lines of "I'm not having kids because I'm smarter", what I actually hear is "I'm not having kids because I'm selfish and lazy and too naive to know what I'm missing".
"The world" isn't homogenous, and the portion of it that actually solves problems is shrinking.
If needed, W wellijustdontknow might be able to help you out with a thing or two. or three. four? Four, probably.
How would you go about that? Even in countries that offer "paid leave" it never covers the salary of highly successful people. Even in Norway, one of the highest paid maternity leave in the world, they give you a year off and pay the equivalent of 60k. That isn't nothing but will that really move the needle for doctors, lawyers, engineers?
