Any case, good talk, and we have made good points clear.

I don't think any parent is doing their kids a favor by just giving them things. My daughter is very self driven and I won't deprive her of the personal victories which will come.in life. But equally important are the failures! Failing I would argue is equally important.
There's a speech that Teddy Roosevelt made called Man in the arena and it still inspires me every time I read it. Think it contains a lot of wisdom.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

The fact she instantly recognized it and your advice on how to navigate it is a sign of great parenting.
Nice work.

Love how this guys threads always hit 5+ pages and devolve into arguments and discussions about his daughter/wife/wealth/house/cars by low rep or even high rep incels and NEET's.
Good rustlin' op, she seems like she has a good head on her shoulders and hasn't fallen victim to the libcuck mentality. I'd say tell her to pull out but the fact is every college/uni is going to be like that, unless she does a degree which isn't impacted by libcucks. Like optometry, dentistry, engineering etc

Can someone please refute this argument I get from liberals? They always say that liberals are the most educated and knowledgeable because look at where the academic institutions are such as Berkeley, Stanford and the Ivy League schools are and the politics that they believe are in.
It's a tough argument because I am surrounded by people with Masters degrees and PhDs in Computer Science who are very liberal and I'm moderate.

Also sitting in academia fantasy land (this is equally true for both something like math and gender studies) your whole life and never leaving is a great way to be completely detached with the real world of the average human.
Second part of your post - There are liberals everywhere in every field. You simply have a confirmation bias. You can find liberal lawyers, doctors (who transition kids as young as 10).

Also, the le iq means I cannot interact with mere mortals is not true after a certain level and probably anywhere socially in touch.
I would recommend orienting social life similar to religion because this explains most principle values correctly. This allows a social life while still trying to live to a higher standard.

One of my biggest regrets is letting my parents waste their money putting me through college when they could have just bought me a house. I would have been so much better off.
I literally have never used my degree for anything. It's worthless.

As for family, I dont think I need to teach my daughter about the importance of that. She is pretty well set in that area.
I also would be 100% proud of her if she happened to meet a boy who could support their family and she decided to be a mom. There is no greater sacrifice in life than to devote yourself full time to your family. Heck she may very well support herself with her current goals by the time she has kids.

If you put all that money in a trust fund or property instead then she won’t have to work at all.
Never missed a soccer practice, or dance class. Never missed a game or recital or school party. I am very lucky in that way, but I can see the impact (good) that is has had upon our kids. They in turn have set very high standards for what they want in life. The most awesome thing is it is not the Lambos they want, or the big homes, but they recognize the freedom we have had to live our lives with our family at the center. THAT is what they have come to desire. Pretty amazing to see your kids become people who you can take inspiration.
Your kids can become the most revealing mirror you have ever stood in front of in your life. They will very quickly point out your flaws and shortcomings. But when you see the good in the reflection, it is the most rewarding thing I have ever felt in life.

This is one of the things I dislike about the US college system.
In many countries, you only do courses specifically or closely related to your major and graduate after three years, due to all of the unnecessary fluff being removed.
If somebody wants to do the fluff, let them add it as electives; don't force it on them.

I believe in living a 'good' life and being true to yourself even when others are not looking. It is not part of a religion, but rather a way to navigate life. Maybe there is some Buddhist in there...but like I said, I cant say I believe in any religion. I wish I could, but it does not seem to fit. I believe in a multitude of parallel universes, possibly infinite and very much am sure our 'existence' is not just what we can see of it.
My daughter is like I am. Very high IQ so she is not mature enough emotionally to balance out her level of intellect. She needs more life experience to have the appreciation for all things.
I used to be like that. As a teen I felt we should kill old people as they are a drain on the economy and dont produce. It took having more life experience to have perspective. For her right now, she does not have the life experience to appreciate the broad spectrum of issues that arise in this debate. I would say I am pro choice for very early on, but personally it is not what I would choose. I am very much against late(er) term abortions.
She is just a kid, developing ideas as she has experiences in life. Very easy early on to not value the lives of the unborn. A lot changes when you hold your own child for the first time if you are lucky enough.
We have debates on it often, and I understand totally why she feels how she does. I only try to get her to understand the spectrum and come to feel what she does because it is HER belief and not be manipulated by headlines or just follow the 'sheep'

A life without struggle is like a life without sadness. You need to experience BOTH highs and lows.
As for family, I dont think I need to teach my daughter about the importance of that. She is pretty well set in that area.
I also would be 100% proud of her if she happened to meet a boy who could support their family and she decided to be a mom. There is no greater sacrifice in life than to devote yourself full time to your family. Heck she may very well support herself with her current goals by the time she has kids.
We have started early with her financial education. She has been building her credit since 16. (We established her start of credit reporting by adding her to our credit account at the earliest allowable age. Since turning 18 she opened two more credit accounts on her own. Once she gets her first verifiable income, she will buy her first property and get the mortgage. She started saving in high school for this. Her Sr year of HS she worked 30 hrs a week. She has close to 20k saved from working part time in HS. We did not ask her to do this. Her goals are to be financially independent so she can raise her (future) family like she wants. She has witnessed having 2 parents at home with her for her entire life. Her mom has always been a mom, and I have been self employed my entire life. From 09 on I worked from home on my schedule.
Never missed a soccer practice, or dance class. Never missed a game or recital or school party. I am very lucky in that way, but I can see the impact (good) that is has had upon our kids. They in turn have set very high standards for what they want in life. The most awesome thing is it is not the Lambos they want, or the big homes, but they recognize the freedom we have had to live our lives with our family at the center. THAT is what they have come to desire. Pretty amazing to see your kids become people who you can take inspiration.
Your kids can become the most revealing mirror you have ever stood in front of in your life. They will very quickly point out your flaws and shortcomings. But when you see the good in the reflection, it is the most rewarding thing I have ever felt in life.

I might not be the smartest guy in every way. I have worked with some within reach.
You overrate what you guys do to overlook normal limits and better decisions than undue megalomania.
Running out on your children for idealistic equality might sound attractive in theory. The internal logic or mental/spiritual exercise might also help you. It does not make sense when you consider all the pieces. Staying in touch with other social life like your wife and daughter making decisions will stop your ideas going wrong at least sometimes.
