Smart enough to have kids?
A Danish psychologist at Aarhus University has noticed that the average intelligence was falling in his country. Because it was a problem he thought needed fixing, Prof. Helmuth Nyborg has suggested that “The 15 to 20 per cent of those at the lower levels of society – those who are not able to manage even the simplest tasks and often not their children – should be dissuaded from having children.”
He said educated women work and study while less educated women spend time procreating. He wants smart women to work less while paying dumb women not to have kids. He insists he is not like Hitler because the dictator exterminated groups and that those groups included intelligent people. I wonder what Nyborg would have thought of Hitler had he only exterminated dumb people.
In a tangentially related topic, former Jew “Dr.” Laura Schlessinger’s new book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, which hits the shelves in January, encourages women to have sex with their spouses even if they don’t feel like it because husbands “go to work and earn money” and visit relatives they don’t like so “why can’t their wives put out on demand?”
However if wives aren’t motivated to have sex, they can still move to Denmark and use the excuse: “I know you visited my relatives and all, but some Professor paid me money not to have sex with with you.”
