>I've ALSO been inspired to have kids

You turned my quote in "I'm having kids because of Idiocracy"

You are using Reductio Ad Absurdum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum

Elon is America’s smartest entrepreneur.

He and the brave employees of Space X will guide life to the stars.

Are you seriously going to tell me that starting PayPal, having two divorces, 8 kids, and rolling that into Tesla and SpaceX makes someone the smartest entrepreneur? I thought entrepreneur included all parts of life. Elon is not a savior, he's smart, but he got lucky too.

I believe the parent is attempting their own demonstration of Poe's law. I was impressed by the quality (and really hope I'm not wrong).

No it wasn't a joke but also you are also blowing out of proportion my reasoning for having children. There have been dozens of reasons why I had kids. One of them, very small compared to the others, is the Idiocracy movie. The idea that smart people have less kids is dangerous for society and I wanted to "be the change that you want to see in the world". Now if you want to take that and blow it out of proportion and say THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU HAD KIDS IS WATCHING THE IDIOCRACY movie you are using Reductio ad Absurdum, you are enlarging my claims until they are absurd. Try instead to watch the movie and then comment on whether Idiocracy is applicable to real world or not.

> tell me that starting PayPal

He didn't do that.
