[Josephus]

The ultimate goal of the biological imperative is reproduction, but being free-willed, I can tell that goal to fuck off and leave me alone. I find much more joy in surviving myself than sacrificing potential in my life for the sake of some stupid brats who will most likely hate me anyway.

Fuck free will. You know that's just a justification by religious people like myself to justify our co-existence with an omnipotent deity. Wise atheists like you know that all humans are merely slaves to biochemical processes. Go fuck! It's good for you, and good for humanity!

I'm hoping to marry late, because I have a ... thing ... for older men ._.;;

I think that you're missing a very important fact here.

... I'm not having children at 40, doodabuddy, and I really don't want to get involved with someone 10 or 15 years older than me.  Make more sense?

Nonono. What I meant is this: While you might have a thing for older men, older men(or any man, actually) usually have a thing for young women.
If you want a good guy, whose within your desired age range, marry one now. He'll surely get there sooner or later.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No, my father and I have a very good relationship. Indeed, I would say that my father is quite awesome.

Fuck free will. You know that's just a justification by religious people like myself to justify our co-existence with an omnipotent deity. Wise atheists like you know that all humans are merely slaves to biochemical processes. Go fuck! It's good for you, and good for humanity!

Quit that you.

... I'm 20 >_<

Waiting at least 5 years on that one.  Because seriously, marrying now... bad idea.

Give it a few years, man, I'm sure you'll see the light. Ask any of the forumites with children, they'll tell you that kids are the best thing that's ever happened to them.

Well, I was speaking figuratively.
You do see how your argumentation for marrying late didn't make sense, don't you?
Anyway. That's just silly nitpicking.
My point from earlier stands, though. By the time you'll decide(if at all) to have children(and probably not too many too), your bimbo collegues and neighbours will all have spread their genes far and wide. Thus the amount of brains in the world remains low.

Possibly, but I fully intend to indoctrinate young people in the Way of the Mathematician.  That should at least do something.

Ha! But The Man might frustrate your attempts by forcing his way of teaching your future pupils. You surely know all too much about the way Math is taught in schools. He's much less capable of doing so with regards to one's own kids.
But then you'll probably try your best with the system before deciding to "make" your very own pupils after all.

On the second thought, having the world full of dimwits isn't that bad. This enables half-witted people, (censored self depreciation remark here), to feel superior to at least part of the humankind.
I'm not sure if it makes me sad or happy.

ed: censorship!

I don't like when intelligence is brought up in a conversation, why can't we be bros.

I'm reminded of the movie Idiocracy. Though it wasn't hard science, the thing about educated couples not marrying/having children was true. However, a college education isn't exactly an inherited trait. Still, there are a lot of ways one can help the world, which don't involve breeding; as a species, and a civilization, we live as sort of a Meta-Organism, with a lot of specialized components that are really good at certain things.

...but I'll reign in the tangent, before it flies out of the discussion circle.

I fully intend to indoctrinate young people into the Cult of Numerology.  That should at least poison the minds of the world's youth with cold, calculating logic. Hail to our glorious Robot Overlords. May their shining steel visages smile upon we chosen few, when the Robopocalypse is nigh.

(paraphrased)

Are you thinking about being a mathematics teacher?

[Cthulhu]

Dammit, I was proud of us for not having mentioned Idiocracy.

I thought that film sucked to be honest.

... snerk

Nope, I'm going to become a mathematician.  That said, I have a history of volunteering at high schools to tutor in mathematics, so... why not keep doing that?  I can't see any reason why I shouldn't give my spare time to further the cause.  I'll probably also try to work as a high school sub/teacher/whatever I can do when I'm too old to research (provided that I wouldn't just be going "vector spaces bluh bluh" at that point).  Mostly, I hope to be an inspiring professor--everything my professors have been for me, and more.  I suppose that they've inspired me to inspire others =)

Meh.  I used to teach the other kids how to read and do arithmetic when I was in kindergarten.  I guess the pedagogical bent never really went away.

It was funny, but too many people on the internet treat it as some sort of prophecy.

[Gunner-Chan]

Everything is a prophecy on the internet. Everything.
