    Our readingCreating life with another human you love is the peak experience of being on the planet.

    Their wordsI'm excited about a lot of things. I love building things, and I love hobbies, and I love all sorts of stuff. But creating life with another human that you love is literally the peak experience of being on the planet.

    Our readingCompetition drives skill, and sparing young people the struggle only defers it.

    Their wordsit seems like struggle is a part of life, either you do it earlier or you do it later. And it’s true, that’s such a good point that competition does seem to be a really powerful driver of skill development

    Our readingOverabundance paralyses motivation and willpower, which is why his wealth will be split among more than a hundred heirs and only reach them as adults.

    Their wordsYeah, I think overabundance paralyzes motivation and willpower. It's extremely harmful, particularly for young boys, to grow up in an environment where they can be proud, not of their own achievements, but of their father's achievements or their father's wealth.

    Our readingParents have an obligation to talk up having children, because the case against is made a thousand times louder than the case for.

    Their wordsthose of us who've chosen to do the traditional thing to get married and to have children have an obligation to kind of talk it up a little bit, which would've seen ridiculous again 50 years ago that you'd have to talk up something so fundamental of that.

    Our readingFraming childcare as unpaid labour, and a mother who stays home as a failure of feminist ambition, is a complete dead end.

    Their wordsBut there's something that's just not right in the analysis that children are a burden and that if woman chooses to stay at home with the kids, that that some sort of failure mode of feminist ambition. I think that's actually a complete dead end.

    Our readingKids have their own lives and parents should not try to apply their rules to them.

    Our readingParents have an obligation to talk up having children, because the case against is made a thousand times louder than the case for.

    Their wordsI think we need to correct that ratio somewhat by some testimony of just how God damn amazing it is to literally create life
