You may call it global capital, others may call it opportunity and if they do, then they can rephrase your statement as "the location of opportunity is apparently the most important factor in raising his children." Stated that way, I don't think he's any different than any other parent in history.
- WorkInKarlsruhe 15y agoMore precisely it is "economic opportunity". I've yet to see more than a handful of people search out places of opportunity targeted at raising flourishing children, as opposed to seeking out economic opportunity. Raising flourishing children requires a community with good social capital, amongst other things --- money is only one, small contribution, and it is possible to make flourishing communities and children without much money. When I saw the headline about a global kid, I at first thought along these lines, since American society sucks at the pursuit of happiness and human flourishing (despite the propaganda to the contrary) --- and so it makes sense to move to another country/culture for a better social fabric.
