Anything you can do, your kids can also do, so leverage.

  1. I exist at a particular point in time with particular skills. My kids cannot do the same things. 2. Even if they did do the same thing, getting it done 30 years earlier has a bigger effect. 3. I still don't think it's right for me to take 100% credit for everything my kids do.

    Not sure if that’s good faith, but of course your kids’ contribution doesn’t have to be the same one you make. That would be absurd. If you don’t have kids, their contributions won’t exist.

      It's good faith, I wasn't sure how literal you were being so I threw it in. But importantly my kids might be more capable than me or less capable than me to effect change. Who knows! > If you don’t have kids, their contributions won’t exist. My choices alter a million things about the future. If we look at everything I was a critical step in causing then we're going to massively overvalue my contributions. Also, shouldn't all my contributions be chocked up to my ancestors if that's how we're doing it? Leaving me with no points of my own?

        On average, kids make about average a contribution.
