Are Teddy books actually meant for MOASS winners, and not children? (self.theppshow)

Here's a thought I had...

The Teddy books aim to instill good values into the reader. While these are definitely useful for children, it occurs to me these lessons would also be incredibly useful for anyone cashing in big wins from MOASS.

Need vs. want, delayed gratification, doing good in the world, etc.

Are we the real target audience? Is RC actually taking on the role of "dad" for us ignorant masses?

I thought that was already the consensus. We have spent the last 3 years calling ourselves retarded/stupid, with the top comments in DD posts frequently being "explain like I'm 5" or "wut mean?" It only makes sense that Ryan would play along like the meme lord that he's proven himself to be.

Could be both

I'd always viewed Teddy as being symbolic of both RC's Grandpa, and also RC; and Kingston and Princeton were symbolic of both RC and Us, respectively
