BREAKING: 88% chance Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire this year — an all-time high.

Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality and Emile popularized the myth that humans are born good and society (property, hierarchy, tradition) ruins us. Fix it with the right education, the right state, the right social contract, and we shall return to natural harmony. This is the kernel of modern progressivism: the belief that inequality is unnatural, institutions are oppressive, and experts/moral vanguards must engineer a better humanity. From this foundation, many took it to the extremes - reign of terror, Pol Pot. But even in moderation it was harmful! Because ultimately It rejects the empirical reality that humans are flawed, self-interested, and that institutions channel that into productive order rather than radicalism and violence.

This mother said all she got for Mother’s Day was Happy Mother’s Day texts from her 18 and 20 year old kids. So she said she is going to match their energy and when it comes time she is just going to text them Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday this year and that’s it. She said she’s not complaining and loves them to death but she is ready to meet them where they are at now in their life. She said she is sick of going above and beyond for them and basically getting nothing in return. So no more whatever they want gifts, no more money, etc. Sounds a little bit to me like complaining. 🤷♂️ What do you think? Do you think she’s right in handling it this way? Do you think that’s a fair way to handle it? Or do you think she’s overreacting and they are just typical young adults? Do you do things for your kids expecting the same in return?
