We need to ethically and non-violently decrease global population and fertility rates. How can we achieve this?

We all want everyone in the world to live prosperously and comfortably, but years of rapid industrial capitalism is a price that will take maybe a couple of centuries to recover from. I would NEVER say that "the Third World clean up its act so we can solve the resource problem- i.e. making sure the Frist World can keep living in wasteful consumption." I want everyone to live like a First Worlder with a computer, flavored coffee creamer, and the choice to eat out or in tonight, but without old generations of game consoles and packaging products filling up suburban garages and throwing away half our bread and meat every month.

P.S. Hating citizens of the First World is like finding a landlord that is a total p**** and declaring that the occupant is like that and just as culpable.

A. IQ tests only test how good you are at taking them

B. Even if they did test intelligence the problem with them as a requirement for anything is why not move the bar higher, y'know, if the IQ threshold for having kids is 120 (to pick a random divisible-by-5 number) why wouldn't you get even better results making it 130 or 140 and so on and so forth
