@farzyness See people still expecting good old fashion blow. That
then got cracked into a more intense form factor and took things to new highs. But the phent-nominal rise of the algo execution king companies, well, stand the frack by for some next level radicalness and new physics!! 🙄

@SoveyX The Ruskies and Middle Kingdom Mandarins don’t have to be the enemy… we once allied against fascists who are now kinda friends… would be nice if we could just peace out and be more on the same page, trade, travel and exchange students vs swords drawn and knives in teeth.. 🤷‍♂️

@mrmikeMTL Sparkling mineral water with lime lemon and extremely cold is quite refreshing. Costco carries a good brand…

[MCBurnes @mcburnes]

@DavidSacks Reminds me of NAFTA and Y2K era scares about losing manufacturing and tech jobs to LATAM and APAC. 👀 change is challenging

Korea has an entire culture built around "hurry up."

It's called ppalli ppalli.
In Korean, 빨리 빨리 means "quickly, quickly."

And once you notice it, you see it everywhere.

Food delivery is fast. Subway doors are ruthless. Elevator "close door" buttons look like they have combat experience.

The whole country feels like someone pressed fast-forward and then lost the remote.

But this did not come out of nowhere.

After the Korean War, South Korea was devastated. No natural resources, wrecked infrastructure, and in the early 1960s, still one of the poorest countries in the world.

So Korea rebuilt like time itself was chasing it.

Exports went from about $33 million in 1960 to $10 billion by 1977. Today they exceed $700 billion.

Korea is now a global force in semiconductors, cars, shipbuilding, and a cultural juggernaut from K-pop to skincare.

That is the Miracle on the Han River, named after the river that runs through Seoul.

But the miracle was not just policy. It became personality.

Ppalli ppalli built a nation.

It also built pressure. South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world at 0.72. Kids study in hagwons until midnight. Adults work some of the longest hours in the OECD. The suicide rate is the highest among developed nations.

That is the Korean paradox. The same engine that pulled a country out of ruin is now wearing people down.

One war.
One river.
One of the greatest comeback stories in modern history, still figuring out the cost.

@TiffanyFong There should reinvent themselves as a Korean Chicken joint like bb.q 🤣👍🔥
