Not sure. Most of my childhood is as you describe. From 9 to 14, all I did was watch TV and play video games. It wasn't until I was 16 that I started learning about investing at all, and it wasn't until I was 18 that I had any idea what I was doing. The focused effort helped.https://twitter.com/kcherrick/status/1216702779433148418 …

Actually, I would say the years I spent playing video games were a very good training ground for investing. Games teach you how to analyze and exploit systems and metagames. You learn through trial and error, and in multiplayer, you test your mettle against adaptive opponents.

But it's not all positive. I missed out on a lot of stuff. The forced socialization, navigating social hierarchies, companionship and dating experience, and so much more. Could have got some of that elsewhere. But I didn't. Spent the rest of my childhood isolated from the world.

It's been difficult for me to reintegrate into society, in some ways. I have had to really force myself to understand social hierarchies, because most of my life has been lived outside of them. It's hard to fit in. Am a late bloomer in many things b/c I got no experience.

So, it's complicated. I do think it's a path that can work. I don't think it's universally beneficial. The focus and creative freedom it allows are wonderful. But if the isolation is not managed well, there can be major and long lasting negative social consequences as well.
