I don't know that I'm smarter than average, but I do think it was smart of my wife and I to wait until our 30s to have a child.

Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life.

Anyone having kids in this era are none too smart.
In one sense, you're absolutely right. It's crazy to think about bringing a kid into this world.
In another sense, if we don't add to the world by raising GOOD people, we are contributing to its demise.
