I'll want her to do what she finds fulfilling, rather than what I might want. For that, I've got my own life. No kidding. I would not want my daughter to read in a newsgroup someday that in my opinion, her utility to me lay "primarily" in her ability to produce high status grandkids for me. shudder It's not a matter of status, and it would not be mostly for my sake. Since I think more intelligent people create benefits for society, based on the research I have cited, I will try to encourage my kids to marry smart and good people and have lots of kids. I'm not sure how to accomplish that, but I have plenty of time to think about it. So, would you encourage your daughter to marry a man who is intelligent and wants to work at home, so that society can have her direct contribution as wel as through her kids? On average, less intelligent and responsible people have more kids than their opposites, and that's a bad thing for society. Some people worry about global warming. I worry about this. I'm not sure how more smarter would be different from more dumber. Especially as consumption increases with income. Banty |
