@Riazi_Cafe_en Which text book or MOOC would you recommend for applied control theory/decision systems?

@systematicls I think it mainly comes from learnings of last 400 years of history.. massive populations limited resources. Do not stray too much. This might have changed in mainland China but it's pretty much the same in India. What is your take?

My standard answer for anyone asking why the start-up ecosystem in Singapore isn't flourishing really comes down to institutionalized risk-aversion.
In Singapore, there is a "standard" path that practically everyone goes through. From age 6 to age 24, there is an institutionalized path that you are more or less constitutionally and socially mandated to follow.
If you stick within the confines of the path, you are "doing well". If you veer from this path, you get struck down as a failure. Ability to stick within the confines of the path is only a function of academic prowess.
I've lived both sides of the world first as a traditional "overachieving scholar" and then dropping out of school once I decided to walk the path less traveled. The difference in attitude from society is stark.
This breeds a mindset among most Singaporeans that there is a "correct" answer for all situations. You smell this fear of "being wrong" in all walks of life, at every layer, in all institutions.
This belief system of thinking there is a clear cut answer to all situations is entirely at odds with what is required to invoke the dark alchemy of creating something from nothing. To create a start-up, you need to be radically comfortable with being wrong and being able to iterate ruthlessly towards the correct answers.
The government however, WANTS to keep the current outcome. This mentality among society at large allows them to clip the left tails of failure, push the median up (we are, after all, highest GDP per capita in the world) and think that clipping the far right outcomes is a worthy price to pay.
To be entrepreneurial in Singapore is to literally go against institutional and societal programming.

as i paid my singapore taxes last weekend i realized singapore will never be a great startup hub. because everything just works too well here. it takes me sub 5 mins to file my taxes. this would have cost thousands and way more hours in the US. ride hailing and micro mobility are capped because of great public transportation. healthcare is so cheap you don’t even think about trying to AI compare / navigate care

iq doesn’t measure anything
too bad you lack the mental capacity to understand that
Stephanie King - Surreal Mental Rotation@surrealsavant
Yet you cannot handle the fact that IQ doesn’t measure anything. Read the preprint - oh, wait, you don’t handle or read facts - cognitiveconstraint.com/preprint - I mentioned Hitch Slapping in the paper - but we know you won’t even read it - you didn’t do the math and I disproved The Bell Curve

@AgustinLebron3 We're all going back to the good old world of guarding "trade secrets" as ethically very acceptable
