If you’re worried about “idiocracies” and think your genes would make the difference, donate your sperm/eggs, and call it a day.
Sperm donation in particular doesn’t produce a new child; it displaces another donor, because there are many more people who apply to donate than get accepted. And the donor you displace is already likely to be above average in intelligence, health, and professional success, because those are the people who pass screening and get selected by prospects.
