I could not disagree more. For me children (first at 27) were the red pill. Before I was a video gaming pop cultured nerd who was too privileged to be really hungry yet too scared of failure to try anything grand. My daughters made me embrace my mediocrity. I do more interesting things now than before even if it is much harder. For me postponing children too achieve something greater is like not having sex because you think it is going to make you like Newton. You either have it in you or you dont.
