Earlier in this thread you made a very interesting point of saying that you didn't have kids, you had ideas instead - very pragmatic view. I'd like to explicitly ask how content you are with the single life you've led. To put in context, I'm a 25 year old Elec Engineer thinking about going for a PhD in Aerospace Eng with the hopes of eventually getting into politics (bring more science into government because we all know that is lacking big time). I find that it is hard to balance intellectual goals with social relations.
Basically, on a scale of 1 - 100, how content are you with decisions you've made and -
What advice can you give to someone such as myself making life decisions that tend to have intellectual goals and social experiences inversely related?
PS - I'd be disappointed if my kids were not intelligent. (Of course I'd be accepting but my main reason for procreating is to have intelligent children who can make the world a better place)
