Now, it is time to focus on people other than yourself. Most other advice on here is awful; it amounts to different directions to run on the hedonic treadmill.
Instead, you have to give back now. What good is there to be done, that only you could do? What will be worse off if you don't lend a hand? This can range from finding better ways to support and mentor your children, to donating time to tutor students in programming, to building a well in Africa. Think hard about what you really care about, and then work hard to bring that into being.

Classic Latin texts, where you can click on any word and see all possible translations
Systems behave differently is everyone knows that everyone knows that… (repeat ad infinitum)
Go to any text and click on a word, and you'll see all of the possible definitions and inflections for that word. This has been helpful to me, as I struggle to keep track of all the noun case and verb tense rules in Latin. I hope others find this helpful, please let me know if you have any ideas that you think could make this even more useful!
In this case, consider whether you would prefer to have children with a partner with a 150 IQ but who never develops a system to generate new ideas, or a partner with a 120 IQ who stumbles into a system / environment that allows them to generate new ideas.
Who would you prefer? Hard mode: justify your choice without invalidating the premises by saying something like, "Well, if the first person was really smarter, they would have developed such a system."
I speculate that most would prefer to have children with the first person, and then endeavor to teach their kids the second person's system.
