@lucas_chae What an amazing project!

@aashaysanghvi_ Congratulations!!!

@keunwoochoi Reputation boost from the ability to trade PLTR stock also probably contributes to this

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@hyunsuinseoul Thank you for clarifying this. The consequence of poor translation work and such few reliable English sources on Korea…

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@samhcarter Same goes with experiences with massive massive bookstores. All kinds of information, across time and space, visualized and materialized into physical form

@john_ssuh I've been thinking these days that the threshold for getting above a 1500 should be much harder. with personalized SAT tests, we could continue to make it an apt way to test basic academics while raising the bar for higher level skills and knowledge

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@john_ssuh What if we use AI to turn every thoughtfully written long form piece into maxxed out translations

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@avenueyyz any other sources you're reading now that are worth paying attention to?

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@neonize @oyhsu how would you define cultural inertia here?

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@halogen1048576 @oyhsu wonder what makes Chinese mainstream online culture (Chinese time of our lives) to be more of a subject of attention in the U.S. as compared to Korea - simplistic explanation would be just scale and size of China relative to Korea but I think there's more than that.

@samhcarter @mttjon @oyhsu @samhcarter we'll talk more soon but curious about this point of risk capital and the threshold it would require to foster "juggernauts in core verticals". Something also to be said about the small and relatively homogenous consumer population in S. Korea.

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@samhcarter @mttjon @oyhsu Also a result of faster adoption rates thus easier to horizontally integrate in services once you have a core set of users

@WillManidis nikos kazantzakis’s The Last Temptation of Christ is a great read.

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@oliverwkim Curious as to how this statement holds up in context of today's digital-innovation driven markets vs the industrial ones that Koreans grew to dominate.

And while entrepreneurialism grew in fervor, certain Confucian dynamics would continue to remain - namely hierarchicalism.

[Timothy Im @TimothyIm5]

@HipCityReg Likewise super curious about your questions and answers to no. 1 - is there a particular reason for the emphasis on self-professing as opposed to? Faith curious or...?

cc'ing @hiromurose on this thread also
