I don't know why Striver is so popular.
I don't like his stuff.
Just makes you cram solutions, doesn't help to develop a good repeatable thought-process.
@lunarastro108 I followed this path and got lost in work, but losing someone from my family made me realize the true balance of life — I only wish I had spent more time with my family
Sadly the Indian concept of a "Good" Boy or girl is actually the textbook definition of a weak, Low self respect, self esteem, People Pleaser individual with no voice or spine.
This is an insane number.
Indian Americans are so far ahead compared to the average.
For the racist idiots who can’t read statistic :
•Average American income: $90K
•Indian American income: $150K 🚀
•Bachelor’s degree by 25: Americans ~30% vs Indian Americans : 75%
No wonder.
@Golovanov_ammoc Willpower matters, but let’s not ignore that access and opportunity aren’t distributed equally — for example, I was trained in boxing, physics, and math from childhood because of my father, while a child in a remote village might never even see a physics book or a boxing glove.
@Golovanov_ammoc Scientific output isn’t judged by govt jobs or MBAs.
It’s judged by research, papers, theorems, discoveries.
Stability doesn't guarantee science — but lack of it almost always kills it.
That’s not a cultural difference. That’s just how systems work.
@Golovanov_ammoc Tragedy and struggle existed even within privilege — Prof. Sridharan’s story shows that. No one denies it.
But the real question isn’t: “Did others care less?”
It’s: Who had the option to study math, write, or borrow money — and who didn’t?
@Golovanov_ammoc Imagine being born in a time where you had nothing to eat —
during the Bengal famine, people sold body parts for food.
Millions in Bengal, Bihar, and Central India never had the chance.
They didn’t lack brilliance — they lacked basic survival.
@Golovanov_ammoc Let’s not distort history to fit narratives.
Scientific progress isn’t just about “will” — it needs stability.
Ignoring that is intellectually dishonest.
@Golovanov_ammoc Ramanujan? He was the exception that proves the rule
He nearly starved while writing his theorems on temple paper.
He wasn't privileged — but even he only got recognition after support from colonial structures.
