:libertarian-approaching:
Obviously actual rich people don't do this. They just give their kid whatever they want because reading fucking self help books isn't what got them to where they are.
It's wild how much of this successwin stuff is designed to address peoples' intuition that waged labor is a scam by replacing it with an even bigger scam.
We're just gamifying the process of becoming a
consumerist marksuccessful entrepreneur. If you read the most books, you earn the most money.
I've met quite a few rich folks. Not billionaire rich, but pretty rich.
One thing they had in common? They never read any books. Not self help books, not classic fiction, nothing. The least interesting people you can imagine.
You say you hate rich people, yet your name is Rich :very-intelligent:
I actually know a couple billionaires. They read a ton. And of course they're convinced that's why they're billionaires, and not because they, say... started with millions and then used those millions to steal surplus labor value.
Billionaires don't raise their kids, they either hire people to do it or pay out of court settlements
It's wild how self-identified 'finance experts' who likely have zero savings will make shit like this unironically
Oh, and nice how the brown kid is 9-5 and the white kid is a billionaire, very on the nose
Billionaires don’t raise their kids
no, instead they :epstein:
white 30-year-old assistant manager dude invests the 5 thousand dollars he has saved on tesla then starts making this kind of content
I remember hearing the Head of Product at my old company talk about the private schools he was looking at for his 5 year old. He expressed excitement that one of them teaches their 5 year olds how to do TED Talks. The CTO of that company spoke half-jokingly about how he wanted his son to be the “first Governor of Mars”.
I’m sure this kind of thing has no bearing on Palo Alto having a teen suicide rate five times the national average:
In November 2014, the CDC conducted similar research in Fairfax, Va., and found “multiple risk factors,” including high expectations for students, parental pressure on students for success and parental denial of mental health issues among their children. It found that 72 percent of youth suicides exhibited mental health problems.
…
“The evidence all points to one cause underlying the different disturbances documented: pressure for high-octane achievement,” Luthar wrote. “The children of affluent parents expect to excel at school and in multiple extracurriculars and also in their social lives. … It plays out in crippling anxiety and depression, about anticipated or perceived achievement ‘failures.'”
Rich people are sick, fucked up psychos who should be locked up for many reasons, but especially de facto child abuse. They should have their children taken away from them and placed into a high functioning public social care and education system. I’m sorry folks, I don’t make the rules.
How to raise a wage worker: have a poor black daughter
How to raise a billionaire: have a rich white son
disregard literature. acquire a mindless chase for self improvement in an otherwise unfulfilling life. cool.
Beat any sense of morality or empathy from your child at a young age so they can excel in the business world.
Gen-X was raised by video games and look at how much they have changed the world for the better.
Millenials and zoomers were way more raised on vidya than gen x. If you were born in 1975 you didn't have much for video games usually.
most gen-x don't seem to understand computers/video games that well
It's especially funny because of studies showing that external rewards decrease intrinsic motivation. If you pay your kid to read something then they'll start to see reading it as a chore. I guess in a way it wraps around to being good because it kills off any desire they might have to read shitty "how to get rich" books :thonk:
This is how I got my third grade class like, 2 pizza parties solo. The teacher would buy us pizzas for lunch for every 50 books the class read. The pizza wasn't great cause 3rd graders voted on toppings. I was just reading a lot of books at the time
I you actually treated your kids like billionaires treat kids then...
Well... :epstein:
Psychotic and disgusting shit. Little kids don't need to even know what self help book is. Giving them an existential crisis at 11 is awful parents. They won't even understand a fraction of the language and lessons in a book like that either.
Both kids in this picture have the real grindset. Get payed a few hundred to pose for some stock photos. Fuck $10
You can tell he already has an absolutely awful blog about how people just need to work harder and make a budget, and 5 or 6 youtube videos about his favorite budget meals and how making youtube videos creates constant income.
