- Each of the shares entitles the baby to Y units of moral cash stream when she grows up;
- The moral cash is paid on а special day, e.g. день Победы;
- When we try to take the shares away from the baby she is going to experience the Endowment effect;
- The indoctrinating culture is interested in creating the Endowment effect, but not in paying the moral cash;
- The indoctrinating culture wants Other countries to pay the moral cash;
- Who are the Others? Losers; other winners; other beneficiaries of the Великая Победа.
