My 8 year old daughter is just getting to the age where I can start to explain how the world works to her.

I find it so rewarding to tell her about what government is, how most people see it, what works about it and what needs to be improved.

Kids get it, and educating them beyond the education that most normies get is going to be a fun experiment. PV 🟣🟠

8?! Shiitttt My kid is 4 and I point out anything government related and tell him its the "bad guy" . You waited til 8? Seriously?

The conversations are a little more in depth than that. I also don’t want my kids to grow up overly cynical. The system we live in is the product of incentives, and really despite its many flaws it is still possible to live very well within it. That fact that we *hopefully* can wage a soft revolution is a blessing in itself.

Everything in life is incentives. Internal or external, they’re incentives

The most important job. Well done.

Well done.

☝️ of the highest levels of PoW right there.

Amazing how kids pick up concepts that adults struggle to when it comes to it “just making sense,” rather than the conditioning adults have all too often grown up with.

You should get the book series "The Tutle Twins" ... I went through it with my daughter when she was that age.

Had a conversation with my 8 year old recently on money printing. Mind blowing the questions that come when an objective, curious, innocent mind goes to work. I found myself quickly scrambling for answers to concepts I thought I knew well.
