Yeah, maybe, it parallels Newcomb. Parents in filial culture say something like “I choose to feed you and teach you, because I can see who you are, and that you will follow through on your duties. If that changes, and I can see that you wont be filial, we owe you nothing” and so the child has to internalize filial values, even though being filial in the future doesn’t cause parental investment now, being the kind of person who would, is thought to.
