Replying to Avatar HODL

I don’t even notice I’m doing it most of the time, but I run marshmallow tests on my kids all day long.

Conditioning them to think long term and delay gratification.

This unconscious conditioning will run in the background and be a foundational building block for their future.

When they meet a fork in the road they will choose the longer/harder path.

I will underwrite the journey by providing resources and a safety net.

They will have an invisible hand guiding them and softening the harder/longer path.

Even if I’m dead at that point, my voice will run in the background providing gentle guidance and reassurance that they are on the right path.

This is the real inter-generational wealth.

The sats they will receive are merely icing on the cake.

This is spot on. Remember though, no break from austerity will inevitably lead to rebellion.

Oh totally. I’m not the authoritarian at home, that’s my wife lol I’m more of the libertarian voice encouraging them to question everything and break rules.
