Maybe someone should ask a bunch of random people “Do you think that encouraging rich people to have more children, and poor people to have fewer children, would be a good idea?” I’d expect (i.e. p > 50%) that the fraction of people answering yes would be between 5% and 95%.
Not just generalizing from one example and the typical mind fallacy, I’d be willing to bet that uni educated people are less likely than the general population to consider this a good idea, nearly everyone in my social circles is uni educated.
It doesn’t sound heartless to me, and I don’t trust my model of the average person enough on this issue.

Why? Does that have to do with the “politically correct” bias I hear is widespread in certain parts of academia?
