劣幣驅逐良幣其實係屢見不鮮嘅事情。學識、眼光、品味等等嘅野其實全部都需要時間同心力去浸淫（當然亦需要金錢），但響今日暴發戶當道嘅地方，仲有邊個咁好心情同你去慢慢徙時間來浸？

而另一樣就係數量。太多時候，人實在太低能，情願 believe in numbers 都唔 believe in logic and reasoning。

一般來講，學識同薪酬越高嘅人，生嘅小朋友數量就會越少，一個起、兩個止、三個頂晒籠。但學歷越低、薪酬越低、社會地位越低嘅人，卻往往會不停係咁生。佢人多勢眾，又有乜野辦法唔係劣幣驅逐良幣？

Makes me question whether strong socialist movements and resources to protect the weak is counter-evolutionary. Also makes the problem of democracy (where say Einstein's vote is worth equal to the vote of a mentally handicapped) even more apparent.

其實有啲錢、有學識，同埋啲學歷低、薪酬低嘅人會咁做，一啲都唔出奇。

要知道生一個BB，對家長來講其實係一個好大嘅投資。要湊小朋友，無論家長係有錢、有學識，定係無錢、無學歷，用嘅時間都一定會好多。而有錢、有學識嘅父母，時間嘅價值就遠遠高過無錢、無學歷父母嘅時間。講得再簡單啲就係，有錢、有學識嘅父母個 hourly wage 遠遠咁高過無錢、無學歷嘅父母個 hourly wage，生仔個 cost 對有錢、有學歷嘅人來講就高好多。

再睇多啲，當小朋友大啲果陣，有錢、有學識嘅父母就更加會投放多好多資源去栽培自己嘅子女，所以個 cost 就更加增加得快。但對窮等人家來講，個小朋友大啲就會叫佢做家務、幫手照顧細佬妹，亦即係話，個小朋友變成屋企裡面嘅其中一份生產力，反為可以幫輕老竇老母嘅負擔，所以窮等人家更加有 incentive 去生多啲。

而響文明社會裡面，小朋友可以從政府果度攞到一定嘅福利。對有錢人家來講，呢條係小數目，唔足以成為生多幾個嘅 incentive。但對窮等人家來講，生多個就可以攞多份錢，所以對佢屋企自己本身嘅負擔唔會增加太多，但小朋友一大啲就可以變成家庭嘅生產力，所以絕對有數可維。

Did I ever complain that "there are too many poor and poorly educated people"? All I've ever done is to offer an explanation of why they are acting the way they did. I offered no judgement of whether that is good or bad.

From a humanitarian point of view, you need to look after their well being so that they'd have a chance to climb out of the poverty pit. At the same time, they need to be better educated so that they won't continue to place a burden on the rest of society to look after them.

You read my comments as a negative criticism on the poor because that is what you think, and hence how you interpret my words. You are the only one who has been condescending here, but I expect nothing less from you.
