The answer to every challenge lies in your heart.

This has been in my mind all day so braindumping it - The rise of the Asian striver marks the end of the entrepreneurship subculture. Necessary reading is: meaningness.com/geeks-mops-s… The core premise here is the generalization (stereotype, but very much true) that Asians are not creative in general and are , more importantly, the closest you can get to specced out Pokemon in reality. As a Singaporean (so I can speak from deep experience) the Asian is meant to be specced out in whatever vertical - first engineers in the semicon boom in 1990s, then doctors and lawyers in the birth of corporate countries in 2000s. Even in the more creative arts, they are made to achieve the best of their potential - ie. forced to take violin lessons 4h/day from the age of 6 All this means the generic asian is actually a sociopath bred for success in the vertical. Only able to measure their worth quantitatively, Asians turn toward accolades, awards, prestige - and in a late stage capitalistic society, high status has been distilled down to a single number: networth. Now the engineers, doctors and lawyers are actually net good for society though - they allow for progress and improvements in quality of lived all across the world. So for most of it, actually its not that bad and pretty good Now enter the entrepreneur subculture. This was a subculture that didn't exist sub-2000s, and was very much a budding nerdfest in 2000s - go watch videos of DoorDash's Ycom, or any company before 2010. Entrepreneurship was very much focused on "making the world a better place" through "innovation and creativity" (two things Asians are *generally* bad at) And it was never about the money. Obviously, due to numerous factors - late stage capitalism + the asymmetric opp presented in investing in early stage companies + the man 10,000x'es, this became a culture that were perverted by sociopaths (finance geeks). But thats not bad in itself because thats the deal entrepreneurs have to make - to give their company for funding; it is just business But what we now see, however, is the end state where the original sociopaths (financiers) are now being EXTRACTED by the specced out Asian who is made to play the game by the book to its game-theoretically optimal endstate! See: YCombinators startups by Asians in 2026. I have seen at least 5 "AI Agent" startups, 2 "Quant Finance AI" startups and many more. Asians are incredible at just taking the current process and speccing the fuck out of it. Think I'm being too racist and broad? That's literally what the Chinese market is known for. China doesn't innovate, they just better the process, bring costs lower than anyone u can compete with. Go visit their manufacturing processes and factories and you'll know what I mean. Haven't you seen the countless Chinese ads on IG showing their precision engineering, LCD lights, and many others? Or even the one about prestigious high end brands (Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.) and the factories where they're made. So all this is to say, which ever space Asians enter is almost always in its end state. The caveat is the space they enter always needs to have some sort of north star / accolade to chase - be it number, status, prestige, etc. But obviously this is not a bad thing because you ARE getting specced out Pokemon for whatever vertical. The downside is just you get very little original creativity whatsoever, hence the emergence of 20 agentic SaaS companies Such is life! CC: @hoeflator to validate, or maybe provide counter points

There’s no fucking way this is the same hypergamy we were dealing with a few years ago This has got to be Hypergamy 2 or something…

I will not do the sinkie pwn sinkie story. I will do the sinkie lifts up sinkie story. When I was 10 and had to go for violin lesson on a Friday afternoon after a long week of school and tuition classes and wanted to jump off the 5th floor of the school building, my math teacher stopped me, called my mother, and I think for the first time in what was years I didn't go for a violin lesson that week and had a bit of rest. When she went through the EOY paper with me after the exams later that year she said to me "See LJB, life isn't so bad" and that moment has stuck with me even 4 decades later. The next year after that, I got into a big fight with one of my classmates and ran off and hid in a school staircase, but the pri sch counsellor found me, calmed me down and in subsequent counselling sessions taught me some basic breathing exercises to help with stress and lowering my heart rate. He also seemed quite concerned with the amount of stress I was harboring at that age already. I think we are a nation of good people, even if our actions and words sometimes seem otherwise. Through the pwnage there is love for each other. sinkie lift sinkie pls. No more pwning. We must love each other as one united ppl... ♥️

Methylene blue lowered blood prolactin by 65%, nearly tripled pituitary dopamine, and partially prevented estradiol-induced pituitary enlargement in rats. After 21 days, male rats given methylene blue had 65% lower blood prolactin than controls: 1.7 vs. 4.9 ng/mL. Dopamine in the anterior pituitary was 2.7 times higher. In rats treated with estradiol, methylene blue also partially prevented pituitary enlargement and reduced prolactin buildup inside the gland. The dopamine increase occurred without a detectable increase in dopamine synthesis. DOI: 10.1016/S0304-3940(01)01752-9.

I love the story about Phil Collins not being a Beatles fan anymore after he met Paul McCartney bc Paul was super condescending and treated him like a fangirl and Phil Collins was like I’m f****** Phil Collins I don’t need this

My peak Sinkie pwn Sinkie story was when I won the BTO lottery years ago and was invited to select a flat. When I went to the HDB officer's cubicle to select my unit, I saw an 8th floor unit that was available (8 is a lucky number) and was prepared to lock in my choice. I heard the couple in the neighboring cubicle (one queue number ahead of us) loudly discussing, and then selecting the unit on the same stack, but on the 9th floor. Their HDB officer then exclaimed that her computer froze and she needed to reboot it. In a split second decision, I let my Singaporean programming take over and quickly (and quietly) changed my choice to the 9th floor unit instead. I giggled with glee as I heard the officer in the neighboring cubicle inform them that the unit was no longer available. I slept the best I ever had that night.

Women are highly attracted to male energy, more than us men will ever realize. Us males see other men in black and white but women see us men in terms of full spectrum HD color. They can sense things about us that we cant understand. When you practice Semen Retention women feel an aura about you that makes them feel like you have what they need. They dont understand it is still semen so they mistake it for status or popularity or money. All they know is you somehow have what they want. Semen Retention makes you appear to women like you have exactly what they desire in a man no matter if that thing is popularity status or money. Semen Retention also makes your eyes appear flirtatious even if you don't realize it. On Semen Retention you become a man that women can make eye contact with and get lost in your eyes, and they interpret that as lust. Some women even interpret it as love. Semen Retention is dangerous. Use it with caution because you will start to appear like you have everything women want.

My Sinkie pwn Sinkie petty story begins on one random night where I was reversing back into my house. I probably took 1 or 2 more adjustments as I'm terrible at parking and the gate was a bit wonky. And I get honked and high-beamed. Alright, not going to get out and ask if you want to pick a fight right outside my house. Maybe it's some loser PHV driver, whatever man. I take it and just reverse back. And oh it turns out to be someone from the next avenue/street. Not a neighbour per se, but I've gone past his house at times while walking my dog and it's not a common car/somewhat unique carplate number. I then make it my routine to always walk my dog past his house all the time to pee on his plants outside. And because his house is right at the edge where it tapers into another road, there's a white line there - no parking. He parks his other car outside there and honestly there's no obstruction, just legalistic things. Of course, I always report on OneService app whenever I see his car illegally parked there and oof that little thrill when you get an update on the app that enforcement action has been taken. At that tax bracket, you could probably pay the fines perpetually and continue parking there but after a week or 2, he started mainly squeezing both cars into his driveway or parking the other further down the street (legally). I don't believe in an eye for an eye. There's interest involved when you ignite my inner Anton Chigurh. The real fun was when I concurrently started emailing BCA about the illegal extensions from the side of his house and his porch. And always following up every month or 2. I think it was about over a year before those extensions were removed, all while doing my dog peeing stuff and reporting of illegal parking when it happened - got a lot less regular. A common misconception people think about pettiness or vengeance is that it consumes you, makes you feel angry or filled with hatred. That's just getting ragebaited. Have a plan, know what you have to do to screw someone over and stick to it without emotional attachment. I don't think I was even ticked off anymore about the honking and high-beaming by Day 3 but hey, a debt is a debt.
