Probably a whole bunch of us. Stupidity may result in unwanted and/or unplanned pregnancies.

Science. If we weren't stupid we would already know everything and wouldn't have to study it.

Hard disagree. We have the scientific method to able to approach the unknown and slowly decipher it in a way that consistently gets us closer to the truth because we're at least smart-ish as a human race.
