OK so more successful people breed less and less successful people breed more. This does not portend good things for the future of humanity.
It has to do with women - since they only marry laterally or upwards on the social ladder, intelligent/educated/high status women often price themselves out of the market and even if they don't, have fewer kids on average.
Whereas high status men will on average have more kids than high status women.
