Making Your Tyrant Baby Work For You: Gordon Gekko Edition

Gordon-gekko-from-wall-street So you remember the other day, when I was explaining about how Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued that babies are hard-wired to try to make us their bitches and that the keys to surviving baby tyranny are to a) educate them, such that their tyrannical impulses are reprogrammed in such a manner that they can learn to become good people and good citizens and, you know, share stuff (the argument of Rousseau's great work on education, Emile), or, b) make their tyrannical impulses work for you (HBM's argument, per her master class, Make Your Tyrant Baby Work For You)? Well, there's another option: you could always train them to be day traders.

This, I suppose, falls into the category of making your tyrant baby work for you, but really, clearly, they get so much of it, too.
