Seeing my kids healthy, strong and smart is one of the greatest feelings.
Very healing for me too, because it’s a window into who I would have been with proper love and guidance.
That said I think without a fucked up childhood idk if I would have been as focused on being a good father. So the silver lining is huge.
Maybe that’s a cope though and the pain was basically pointless lol
I was also thinking the other day that when the kids get older we need to do some kind of bitcoin camp every summer so that they can meet each other and possibly form romantic connections. Meaning the Bitcoin doesn’t dissipate throughout the years, but stays with the families.
Make arranged marriages great again! 😂
Honestly, that’s exactly how aristocracy forms. The first generation are just smart/savvy/strong/cunning people at the right place and time. You can argue that the first generation actually deserves the wealth and privilege that they get, as they actually earn it through their actions.
Then they naturally want to preserve what they had for their families, so they set up power structures to ensure this. The second and third generations may be benign enough if you’re lucky. Further than that though, and you can argue that the aristocracy now in power has no moral right for their privilege. And they themselves are not exactly the nicest human beings given all the wealth and privilege that they just happen to be born into. The original dynastic founder is now just a legendary figure.
And I don’t really have any good ideas how to counteract that apart from giving away everything to charity and making my kids poor before I die. Which is something I won’t do.
Btw, I know for a fact that there are summer camps costing north of 200k USD per kid taking place in Switzerland where the current world aristocracy sets their kids up for lucrative life long friendships from the get go.
So the idea is not exactly new.
All kids deserve love and guidance to thrive, it takes a special kind of human to be able to thrive despite it's absence.
Time to crack on and feed forward to the next generation.
