CMV: Society is getting dumber because most people who have kids are dumb

 Now I'm not saying that all people who have children are stupid, but what I do believe to be true, is that dumber people are more likely to have children/many children.

Why is this? Well, having kids is something that society pushes onto people, because it is seen as "just a part of life", and I think that the people who follow along "just because", are of lesser intelligence, because they don't think for themselves. I also believe that people who have a strong desire for children are more primal, to be completely honest.

Another reason is that currently, people's financial situations are very grim overall, so it doesn't make much financial sense to have children. What sucks though, is that welfare basically rewards people for pumping out more copies of themselves, and I would bet that most people on welfare aren't the brightest.

I think that lots of people want to have kids to feel fulfilled, or to feel as if they are important. These people have weak minds, which I believe to be a definite sign of lesser intelligence.

So, with all this in mind, I don't think it will take that much time before people become quite a bit dumber. Will intelligent people have children? Yes, but in much lesser numbers than their less intelligent counterparts. Fun fact! - scientific studies have already found that overall IQ levels have started dropping, for the first time in recorded history.

Is it even possible to have any meaningful proof of this claim?

It's not really possible to measure intelligence in any useful way, nor have we been able to prove that intelligence is significantly genetic.
