    Nice quote, who was the guy who said it?

    IMO the solution to the Buddhist dilemma is to treat life as a joke and live it accordingly.

    Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, the abbot at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery (Woodstock, NY). According to Buddhism, life as we ordinarily experienced is due to impure visions - it is a mistake. But at the same time it is not something taken lightly because it lies great opportunities for benefiting oneself and others if one is willing put in the work.

  3. Pick a few good hours when the markets are generally moving well.

    Drug your children with legal substances or keep a small set of cages near your trading station. Wear a headset to drown out their noise.

    Spawn should not get in the way of a higher purpose. Can you ship them out to daycare 1/2 day or get some female on the cheap to watch them for 2-3 hours?

    p.s. You can't let those ankle biters get in the way of adult work. They will survive. I would try an open-cage design. Feed them well and time it so they are tired and sleepy when you want to put on your trades during your preferred trading session.

    There is the sensitive period ends at around 6 years old which is important to brain development. During WWII, there were the Romanian children in the opranages left in their cribs deprived of much human interactions. They did not end up well at all as adults. I am sure you are kidding.
