I treat X like a group chat to friends. Don’t take it too seriously pls. Learning the lessons of history. Son of Singapore. 🇸🇬
Why do Southeast-Asians Disagree with The West On Russia's Invasion of Ukraine? George Yeo, Singapore's Former Foreign Minister explains in greater detail, "I must recall Kosovo, which was part of Serbia but was forcibly separated from it. Belgrade was bombed during a war…

China is at war with us. They just wage it through proxies - our media, our banks, our companies, our elites, our universities, our politicians.
Two things to remember : 1) they fund cluely 2) average American can’t point out where Taiwan is on a map Bonus: wars are ultimately won with boots on the ground. What is the actual benefit of the US fighting China over Taiwan? Like fr
China Has Mass. Can America Catch Up? If a Taiwan war were to break out, the US would run out of high-end munitions in about 8 days. Currently, China is far outpacing us on raw scale. They have more personnel, more missiles, and more than 200 times the shipbuilding capacity.…
there is a case to be made for epistemic humility
No, Jensen. I am a proud China hawk. I strongly support working with amazing Chinese talent - America is better because of the smart Chinese people who fled to our free country, or came looking for a better life. But the CCP is an evil, murderous authoritarian regime.

speaking with friends from other countries, i realize singaporeans legit have a tiger mom mentality towards our govt (we literally expect them to score 100/100 all the time)
America and China are not natural enemies and they don't need to be. Much of China's early technological innovation was underwritten by American capital. Many Chinese tech entrepreneurs were also equally inspired and educated by American entrepreneurs. Now, as China rises to…
the real tragedy of Charlie Kirk is that nothing will change. It’s crazy how two weeks after his death- there has been close to zero discourse on gun controls still crazy how cooked US policy is. I used to want to go to the US not anymore
Actor Rainn Wilson says he witnessed his “liberal friends” in Hollywood celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death at a recent event. “They were like, ‘you won't find me shedding tears’ and someone else was like, ‘oh, well.’” Despicable.
Figure is still figuring out
Help me make sense of it. The company (Figure) that doesn't ship robots yet valued at 39 B $. They ship to BMW, but you can not go to their site and buy them as with Unitree. The company that ships the most number of humanoids in the world (Unitree) valued at just 7 B $.…
Seeing Singaporeans yapping and fighting about Charlie Kirk’s assassination further proves globalisation isn’t dead. Ideas transmit at breakneck speed regardless of how many tariffs Trump puts up. But as a great thinker once put it to me: studying history teaches us how to…
The miracle was not Lee Kuan Yew. The miracle was that Goh Keng Swee, S Rajaratnam and him were on the same page in the early years (and the two of them were happy to let him be the first amongst equals)
At dinner today we had a guest from Singapore. I asked him if he thought the miracle of Singapore could be replicated, now that we have the blueprints, in some other state or city either in South East Asia or elsewhere? "No, we only succeeded because we had Lee Kuan Yew.…
celebrating VC can be a good thing if you believe dilution allows you to accelerate your mission. If not it’s all hype
i’ll never understand celebrating raising venture capital. you now own less of your company, have more stakeholders and need to grow into a new vlauation fast. if i ever raised venture, i’d keep it quiet and lock in extra hard.
I will never understand American obsession with guns
Influential Trump supporter Charlie Kirk shot & killed in public debate at US university bit.ly/4mRzNlq
In no other country does one have access to weapons that allow you to shoot at people on a university campus no less
President Trump shares a message on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived & died. The values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law & the patriotic devotion & love of God.”
Stop paying so much attention to what everyone else is doing and run your own race. How much time is spent reading other people's posts on social media, watching other people's exploits in the news, listening to other people's ideas on podcasts? Go have coffee with a friend. Go…
to elaborate: Singapore is geographically endowed because we sit at the mouth of the strait of malacca and is a deep water harbour which makes it an obvious port. But, bc we are an island - we are not landlocked. This means you are not dependent on your bigger neighbours’…
til this day, I think people still discount how lucky Singapore is with regards to the geography we were dealt with. some countries play on hard mode, Nepal plays it on insane mode

I've lived in Nepal during a few months, a stunning country that's really dear to my heart. I was notably there during the 2015 earthquake, a time when one of the main leaders of the current "Gen Z" protests (Sudan Gurung, who founded Hami Nepal) lost a child, which was the…
The reason I don’t like this analogy is bc there are many engineering countries that doesn’t have the same challenges as China. The actual real reason why china has the strengths and weaknesses it does its bc it is fundamentally run by a communist party
doing a whole analytical book on contrasting the US and China and coming up with "run by lawyers" and "run by technocrats" is so funny. like i know you're not allowed to say it but china has their own word for how they're different to the US
textbook with extra steps
I find it frustrating that almost every nonfiction book is basically just a history lesson, even if it's nominally about some science/tech/policy topic. Nobody will just explain how something works. Books about the semiconductor industry will never actually explain the basic…
