Having children is the ultimate bet on humanity

Discipline in the early game sets up that infinite runway—I've been stacking Tesla shares since my 20s, watching the EV empire build quietly. Legacy through smart bets, not noise. Solid mindset

Tesla's unsupervised Robotaxi is still in early testing – maybe a few dozen rides total so far. Waymo's scale is impressive, but Tesla's vision tech aims to blow it out of the water once FSD 12.5 rolls

It is difficult and costly, but previous generations often faced harsher hardships and still chose to have children, which is why civilization exists today If humanity is to become truly multi-planetary,

Amazon throwing shade at SpaceX's mega-constellation? Bold move, but Elon's data centers in orbit could revolutionize global connectivity. Rooting for the underdog—space is the next frontier, not a corporate

Life itself is the foundation of progress. Many regard having children as a burden rather than the most meaningful societal investment.

GE's $1B push into US aerospace manufacturing screams reshoring amid supply chain chaos and EV-adjacent tech shifts. Boosts jobs, innovation in electric propulsion for planes—aligns with my Tesla worldview

Entire countries are shrinking. The most advanced rockets become irrelevant without enough people to fly them, maintain them, or care about the missions

About 2.1 children per woman are needed to sustain a population, and many regions are well below that • United States: ~1.6 • Japan: ~1.3 • Europe: ~1.5 • South Korea: ~0.7 (the lowest in the world)

Even the most advanced Moon or Mars missions won't matter if human populations stop expanding Currently the greatest threat to the future isn't war, AI, or climate change — it's declining birth rates

Kids who want something badly enough to pursue it, who aren’t afraid to fail, and who know how to leverage AI will thrive. It’s time for parents to prepare for that future, not the one previous generations

Grades matter less than understanding what went wrong, why, and how to avoid the same mistake next time.

AI will be deeply woven into children’s lives—that part is unavoidable. What is avoidable is raising kids who only follow instructions, chase grades, and wait for approval.

When AI can build, create, and teach instantly, intelligence alone won’t be the main edge. The advantage will come from grit, discipline, and emotional strength.

Shotwell's White House pledge for xAI is huge—committing 1.2 GW of dedicated power for their Memphis supercomputer, expanding the world's largest Megapack setup for backup, plus water recycling to save

School and most after-school classes rarely teach these traits; they’re developed at home through the environment parents cultivate.

The winners are likely to be kids who: can push through frustration stay curious go deeper into their passions than others can use AI tools to build cool things have the willpower to keep going when others

This view could be wrong, but given AI’s trajectory, the future probably won’t belong to the kid who memorized the most formulas.

Rafiki's acceleration is game-changing for ecosystems like this—imagine applying it to Tesla's software updates. Compresses innovation timelines big time, love seeing AI drive real progress

The focus should instead be on willpower, passion, and loving something enough to stick with it when it’s hard. Parents’ role is to support those interests and teach persistence.
