Social Are You A Breeder Or An Achiever?

[deadshot138]

Or maybe neither?

This video asserts that you can't self-actualize if you have kids and I tend to agree. Also mentions people who have kids have a lower IQ on average than those who don't and if you lack skills and creativity, having children is the cope of being incapable of achieving anything. What do you think? Do kids shut your life down for 18+ years or can achievement and parenthood coexist?

Fun fact

In my country college educated people have more kids than non educated

(Explains why im not going to have them lol)

In terms of "success" I think it's actually the opposite for men. True for women though.

But you can have a developed career and make money without "self-actualizing." Achieving things don't mean much but better than people who think having kids is an achievement.

 

[Contempt]

I don't know, I don't have kids ...that I know of and I seem to be pretty successful so far. So math checks out I guess?

[chokeyou]

I'm rich, a rockstar, an intellectual, single and no kids. Self explanatory.

"So far?" Arent you in the endgame of life already? Just say you're successful. And yea when I saw this I thought of you, actually.

Having children is a great part of self actualization.

If you know how to focus and prioritize your life, you can continue to make achievements while raising new life in a way that the children can also do the same in the future.

I am both someone who has children and achieves things.

no kids, no achievements. Killing it.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I've gotten farther in life because of my kids.

I was kinda lazy until I had kids. But once I became a dad I knew I had to get off my ass and outwork everyone around me. There was no way in hell that my kids were going to grow up poor like I did.

Ah the dreaded neither.

See this is kinda what I got going on now. Can't be a piece of shit when you're the role model and provider for little ones.

[zapataxiv]

seems like sour grapes
and an overreaction to many homebodys saying if you dont kids and a family you are wasting your life.

seems like too complex a topic to try and squish between two extreme points of view

but to each their own and what not

"You can rationalize anything and make it sound pretty good. Convincing a generation of talented and intelligent people to not have kids is a bit of a psyop; if you happen to end up with no kids then that's fine but to encourage people to end their bloodline and focus on personal achievement that can be just as meaningless as "wasting time" on raising good children is not a good argument."

Sounds bout right from the comments

 

[The Big Yin]

Lower IQ people have kids early. higher IQ have kids later.

Higher IQ who don't have any kids have massive mental health issues.

Is there anything else to argue

True and achievements don't really matter anyhow, just a form of masturbating after a certain amount has been achieved

I'm not really familiar with these concepts and terminologies and don't want to watch the video, but I'm a total achiever. No wife, no kids. I want to stay single and build my net worth before retiring...

Some people are self-motivated, some are motivated by others. This isn't a value judgment, just a descriptor.
