My grandpa was a farmer and was the first person in my family to go to college. He didn't leave much of a nest egg because he had seven children. My dad was raised by someone who insisted college was critical, and family wealth is finally starting to build. I'll probably go to grad school due to the opportunities afforded to me by my father and my kids will likely surpass me.
If children didn't surpass their parents ever, civilization wouldn't progress. It'd be eternal stagnation. Side note: that one anon's NEET theory of culture is definitely correct, and so I will fund my midlife crisis artistic endeavors with generational wealth while managing it carefully for later generations.

Why do Hegel fags think they have some kind of monopoly on metaphysics and philosophy? End of Evangelion can be said to signify countless similar ideas in philosophy, why the master-slave dialectic instead of Sartre's gaze or Wittgenstein's picture game? If you ask me none of them are terribly relevant and I'd sooner discuss the relevance of Plato's Forms, for how else can you possibly describe Instrumentality?
