Also, I would assume the outcome of being raised by the state would be worse than being raised by adoptive parents. And you'd be taking one child away from other potential adoptive parents who are stupid into your own, presumably better, home.
*Dunning-Kruger effect. If I remember correctly, there are studies showing that a majority of people in a given group think they're of above the average intelligence of said group. I guess what I'm getting at is recommending intelligent people do X perhaps isn't the best idea since many people, who aren't necessarily intelligent, think they're intelligent
The way to not contribute to population growth is to kill the pastors who urges their "flock" to pump out more stupid babies so there will be sheeps for the them to fleece.
