They did not pay anything close to the amount they took from India. They created a rigid system that divided people.
People in the United States deal with a kind of guilt toward Black people and your might you know about Diversity Visa that's a free handout
@StetsWachsam Be careful with SSRI discontinuation syndrome, taper it off and never touch this poison again
Find a purpose in life, find something you love to do, someone you love, and something that you look forward to doing everyday. That is the best medicine.
I’ve been talking to some young AI talent recently. Many dislike companies that still use LeetCode interviews.
The logic is simple: LeetCode mostly tests memorization. In the AI era, even 3B LLMs can solve these problems faster than any human.
The tech industry should move toward AI-assisted, real-world problem-solving coding interviews.
You need to believe that you can win. If you don't think you can win you'll never try. If you think that other people are inherently better than you, that you can't add to what they've done or push things further, you will never be great. Only as good as them
Be yourself
If you are 25 and above:
- Get married to the right person early. It makes everything else easier.
- Lift weights. Non-negotiable.
- Explore spirituality before life forces you to. Also, please don't mistake spirituality for bling faith. Stay away from extreme religious acts. Use your brain and rationality.
- Have an immense interest in geopolitics. Learn to read between the lines. One of the best indicators to understand where the world is heading and how you can adjust.
- Be a generalist. Have multiple interests personally and professionally. After AGI, the world will reward people who can connect dots across fields.
- Learn to sell. Your ideas, yourself, your dreams.
- Read history. The present makes no sense without it, and the future gets shaped becasue of it.
- Develop your own opinions. The world will be full of manufactured consensus because of AI. Think for yourself.
- Find mentors in the real world. Not podcasts. Not tweets. Actual humans who have lived it.
- Aim to be in the top 10% in the world at what you do.
You can't focus because you never let yourself be bored. Actually bored. Not "bored" scrolling on your phone taxing your brain into oblivion with more dopamine in 10 minutes than people a thousand years ago would get in an entire month.
@ProudofusUK In 1800s Britain banned slave trade
In 1800s Britain started enslaving Indians in indentintirefd servitude, kidnapping millions, sending them off to colonies, never to see their families again
Why haven’t you heard about any of it? The empire doesn’t talk about its worst crimes!
