measure and plan your bloodline in centuries for the last 17 years, I thought I'd just been religiously writing and backing up random notes but I've come to realize that I've slowly been writing a manifesto, an autobiography, and an inheritance all at once lessons, toasts, riddles, jokes, fables, slang, quotes, even fucking ratings for films my favorite cinematographer shoots. all of it typed into my phone and now my journals, all of it for my children, and theirs who I might never meet each generation adds to it or begins their own, questions what I got wrong, and hands it down, so every child in the line begins their world with more than one lifetime of knowledge and wisdom behind them we're now walking and our children are waking into a world where the average lifespan of the privileged may reach well into the triple digits. which means we're likely to endure upwards of three times the number of life bearing and pivotal decisive moments -- that is a lot of responsibility to bear with little guidance everything in your lineage had to happen exactly as it did for you to be here today... and now imagine if your parents and your grandparents and your great grandparents on both sides had written down all of the challenges they had overcome, mistakes they had made, impossible sacrifices at the time, and the triumphs they had celebrated along the way... do you think your parent's lives would have been different if they carried those lessons with them explicitly ? would yours?? most people measure dynastic wealth in dollars but that's only half the equation, because if you pass down the money without the experience that built it, then your bloodline inherits a fortune without the discipline to keep it "money buys your heirs a generation, memories buy them centuries" — from cuban's notes he's leaving his children
