I think I would be more behind the VHEMT thing if I hadn't seen the movie
Idiocracy. Basic premise is that all the intelligent people realize the overpopulation problem and how much work it is to raise kids, etc., and stop having them. So who is left? All the idiots. Two average people that accidentally get cryogenically frozen until this future end up being super-geniuses comparatively. It's supposed to be humor, but I saw it more as extremely depressing horror... it's almost like it's a smart person's DUTY to breed if that is what we might look forward to.
Less drastically- if you don't want to breed yourself, you should adopt lots of kids to pass the message along. Otherwise the movement dies out. Like the
Shakers. Perhaps adopt one smart kid (to keep it going) and then a ton of idiots.
