born here, i was robbed from a future. if my parents never come here, i imagine i wuldve had much more opportunities?

also the teachers lied 2 me/ us. they brainwashed us with fuzzy studies and liberal nonsense like "follow ur dreams", "do what u like"and "find a job after highschool" and crap like that.

You should learn to code, TC. And then make an app or a web service that people will need. And then you can sell it to Google or Microsoft.

Say 1 year to learn coding
1 year to come up with an idea and make prototypes
1 year to fine tune your shit
The fourth year is when you release your idea
The fifth year is either make it or break it. This is when you will notice if people likes your shit or not
If you are still alive and kickin at year six, this is when you are trying to grow
7th year. If your shit is any good Google will contact you and give you billions of dollars for your shit. Sell!

So, in roughly 7 years you can be a billionaire if you really want. Then you can eat lobsters on a yacht on the riveria every day if you want.

Actually, all you need is a good idea and then u can team up with one or two people who knows how to code. So while you are the idea-guy, the other two are coders. Contact investors and ask them to invest in your company. You basically have to sell your idea to them. Convince them that your idea is the tits. So they will give you moneys while you are working on and developing your idea. The investors will of course want to have some % of your company. But that's how it is.

Even if your idea doesn't make it in the end, you will at least have received free moneys from the investors. So it is their loss.

Ideas are cheap. The tech world is full of ideas people trying to find others to write their code for them.

If you're hoping to be the guy who brings the ideas you better also be the guy who brings the money. Who's going to go along with, "here's the idea, my part is done, now you spend the next N years of your life grinding away to actually realize it."

Also some ideas aren't really ideas but more suppositions of the possible existence of ideas. If your idea is to build a search engine that is better than Google's, well, that's hardly an idea. In what way will it be better? "It'll have more relevant results". Okay, what actual steps will we take to get to there from here? "We'll hire people to figure it out for us". Then what the fuck are you doing there? Your grand idea is basically "someone should do something" and you are a parasite (but not you, dear reader).

And if you are going to make a new app or service thingy, definitely don't wait until the fourth year before you look for feedback from potential users. That's a good way to waste four years of your life!

One thing people are doing nowadays is creating landing pages for things they haven't built yet and then marketing it hard. If five hundred people sign up for their mailing list, well, they've validated that people are interested in the idea and then they start actually trying to build it. If nobody signs up they just drop it and move to the next thing.

It's hard to say what people want that you can give to them. Rather than trying to divine it, you can roll the dice over and over and play it that way.

Along those lines, this is an article (about writing) that is widely shared within tech circles because much of the thinking overlaps with the current ideas around entrepreurialism:

http://prolifiko.com/prolific/


Stop trying to ‘be original’ and be prolific instead

Being a highly prolific writer is sneered at in some circles. Some people think there’s a trade-off between quality and quantity. To do truly ‘great work’ – you can’t do very much of it. Science disagrees. Most of the world’s best writers, creatives and innovators – are also hugely prolific, productive people.

They’re not afraid to get their work in front of people and they’re willing to adapt and change. They have what Dr Carol Dweck calls a ‘growth mindset’ – they’re willing learn and they’re open to new ideas. We’ve written about Dweck’s work before.

Be radically creative

In his book Originals, writer and thinker Adam Grant considers what it takes to be a creative radical and concludes that being hugely productive is a super-important part.

He covers the work of Prof. Dean Simonton, a psychologist who’s spent many years studying creative productivity. Early on in his work, he discovered two things about highly creative people. First, that they’re woefully bad at knowing when their own work is going to be a hit or a miss and second that it’s their capacity for productivity (which they have in spades) that makes them original, not their innate talent.

Simonton writes: “On average, creative geniuses aren’t qualitatively better in their fields than their peers, they simply produce a greater volume of work which gives them more variation and a higher chance of originality.”

“If you want to be original the most important possible thing you can do is to do a lot of work. Do a huge volume of work.” Ira Glass, producer of This American Life and Serial.

But sometimes, creative types fear the rejection that comes along with ‘putting themselves out there’, choosing instead to keep their work hidden from view.

Other times, instead of working on multiple projects and throwing away ideas, writers (yep, especially writers…) believe it’s their personal mission to find the one book or tell the one story – and this leads to kind of ‘perfection paralysis’ that holds people back and leads to creative stagnation.

Grant writes: “Many people fail to achieve originality because they develop one or two ideas – then obsessively refine them trying to reach some kind of perfection.”

Rather than spending years fine tuning the same piece of work, Simonton found that highly original people produce their most world-changing output at exactly the same times when they’re making the largest volume of work. Not that they know this at the time.

He found that the number of ‘hits’ rose in direct proportion to the number of ‘misses’ they were also making.

A light bulb moment

For example, Simonton cites the work of inventor Thomas Edison who accumulated a mind-boggling 2,300 patents over his lifetime.

He found that in the same year Edison applied for patents for the light bulb and the telephone (certainly both hits) he also filed for patents for 100 or so other inventions including the pneumatic pen (a partial miss), a talking doll (a definite miss) and a ghost detection machine (enough said).

In all likelihood, Edison never knowingly worked on something he thought was going to be an almighty flop. He probably worked on his paranormal paraphernalia with just as much vigor as he did the movie camera (which he also invented). He just just kept putting things out in the world until he had a hit. And it’s the same with writers.

Whilst it’s difficult to believe that Shakespeare wrote any duds, let’s not forget that he wrote close to 40 plays and over 150 sonnets. Can you name them all? Also, authors like Alexander Dumas, might be world-famous for writing The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Christo but let’s remember that he wrote a total of 277 novels over his lifetime – six every year of his working life. Clearly, not every book had quite the same mass appeal.

Grant quotes Stanford University professor Robert Sutton who writes: “Original thinkers will come up with ideas that are strange mutations, dead ends and utter failures. The cost is worthwhile because they also generate a larger pool of ideas – especially novel ideas.”

“The best way to get better at judging our ideas is to gather feedback. Put a lot of your ideas out there and see which are praised and adopted by your audience.” Adam Grant, author of Originals.

Keep the ideas coming

So what are we learning from all this? Mainly, that that creative geniuses aren’t born creative geniuses.

Of course, there’s a role for natural talent but the very process of writing, painting, inventing and sculpting – and doing so in volume – helps you become better and more original in your field.

Now saying all this, being prolific doesn’t give you an excuse to get sloppy and start blurting out half formed ideas – that’s just going to piss off everyone apart from your mum. Your work still needs to be the very best you can do.

But what it does mean is that writers shouldn’t stop at their first attempts – either because they think too highly or lowly of them – because those first ideas are always the most conventional. As Grant says, “quantity is the most predictable path to quality” so it’s only by throwing out your best ideas into the world and constantly building on them that you really develop.

As a creative, you’re monumentally misplaced to be the once who decides which ideas are going to fly or fail anyway – so you may as well keep going until your audience lets you know.
How to get good by writing more – 5 practical take-aways:

Never equate a large output of work with a low level of creative quality. Some of the world’s greatest artists, writers and thinkers are hugely productive people.
Creatives are notoriously bad at knowing when their work has merit (or not) so don’t sweat about how good or otherwise your work is – just show it to your audience and they’ll tell you.
Stop obsessing! Don’t endlessly pick over the bones of your idea, if you do you’re in danger of experiencing ‘perfection paralysis’. But whilst you shouldn’t over-analyze, you should always…
..do the best possible work you can do. Don’t put half-baked flabby ideas out there unless you’re happy with just your mum’s opinion (it’s very good dear).
Remember – the first ideas are always the most conventional. To get to the really original and radical stuff keep digging and keep producing.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something. At least you aren't part of the majority ethnic group; then you would be able to 24/7 delude yourself like Rugian that white nationalism will help your life.

That video is a commercial probably for investors. I love how they only show white people in the video (aside from one old asian scientist guy). lol

White men having fun and playing basketball. Beautiful hot white women running in bikinis on the beach. lol. And all the data-animated people looks white.

What kind of a city is that? Are they building it for white westerners?

And who is gonna take care of and tend to all that green forest stuff on the buildings? The Asians?


I think I would rather live in England than in Malaysia. Mainly because Malaysia is a Islamic country.

Man, look at Britain: http://fuckitandmovetobritain.tumblr.com/page/2

it is almost like living in the Middle Earth. Small beautiful towns and villages. Taverns in every corner where you can drink beer and eat a juicy lamb. Man, this shit is so close to you. Open your eyes.

idk why they put white ppl in that commercial but its not 4 white ppl obviously. the whole place is already bought by chinese, like 50%. the other 50% consist of indians, singaporeans, rich arabs and malayasians. maybe couple of white expats here and there, but mostly its already bought by asians.

uh oh...


"Please don’t learn to code

Don’t get me wrong; I do believe that engineering and programming are important skills. But only in the right context, and only for the type of person willing to put in the necessary blood, sweat and tears to succeed. The same could be said of many other skills. I would no more urge everyone to learn to program than I would urge everyone to learn to plumb."

http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/10/please-dont-learn-to-code/



Blood, sweat and tears! That's why I never bothered to learn hardcore coding. I'm not willing to bleed and cry. I only know the basic stuff like HTML, CSS, PHP, and some Javascript.

But I know.... no pain, no gain. That's how it is for the majority of the people in this world. Only very few are born rich.

The children is really an example of the mass failure of asian culture and by extension the american capitalistic materialism it glorifies. All day tc is envious of what others have which leads to feelings of shame about his lack flof wealth which leads to him coping by watchign videos of those with wealth which leads again to envy.

Nowhere in this endless loop of self loathing on tc's part does he take action to improve his life or better yet really think about how to be happy without material things.

Also if you want to make money and are stupid just work in IT. It takes high aptitude and thousands of hours of work to get good at coding. TC doen't have what it takes to be a coder.

Not sure about all this "learn to code" stuff. I saw a documentary about some people who learned to code. They made a great bar-hopping app and brought it to Russia for investors, but when they got there their idea had been stolen by their Swedish partner (he hadn't signed an NDA). Anyways, then aliens that could sense electrical energy invaded and killed everyone. Very sad. I think the moral was to not bother learning to code. Instead learn how to make microwave emitters from garage parts.

Cherub Cow:

Yeah...when I first learned how to code I tried to convince everybody else to get in on the action. Chalk it up to the overenthusiasm of a beginner. It's a rewarding career if you enjoy it, but so are lots of other careers and nobody feels compelled to say "come be a vet!"

Can't resist the urge to chime in on the matter when it comes up though. It's a disease.
