There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

Yep this is the correct take. Running a startup in Singapore is so negative EV that you select for retards who failed out of system, high functioning autists that refuse their place in the system and wealthy heirs trying to make their name outside the system. The retard class is almost uninvestable, except for those who pivoted into the shadow economy (nightclubs, ktvs, gambling etc) in their teens and still maintain a code of brotherhood but good luck getting access to these people or convincing them to let you ape their KTV / Johor Vape Run. Avoid the system dropouts that pivoted to insurance sales like the plague (they basically sell financial scams to the elderly) and they will rug in the blink of an eye too. You might find a diamond in the rough that previously worked at a local tech company like Grab, Shoppee etc but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack bc it’s hard to tell them apart from a retard that got fired and will be pivoting into insurance if the startup LARP fails. The high functioning autists are more investable but there are two main problems. To clarify - these are kids preordained by the Singapore system for high finance, bigtech, biglaw, medicine and other “high value” professions alongside a 2 million dollar mortgage but have somehow rejected their destiny. The first problem is discoverability. The first class of autists fuck off to the West Coast, London or godforbid Berlin for college where they embrace and explore all their quirks that made them feel out of place in Singapore. The ones who went to Berlin are lost forever. The ones that went to California / London might, after a few years of self-discovery often involving sex, drugs and rock and roll financed by autistic superpowers or their parents, return to Singapore after either a family tragedy, the false promise of a good Asian wife / husband or their Western tax bill. You might be able to invest in them then as they seek funding for some grand moral mission to embrace or reject capitalism in their autistic niche area. But the second class of autists that are investable don’t leave Singapore at all. You will find them in STEM, geeking out in the laboratories and computer science departments of universities, possibly in A Star. They speak a maximum of five sentences a day and are largely incapable of maintaining extended eye contact. But behind those bespectacled eyes in the acne scarred face is the potential engine of a billion dollar empire. Or a Chinese spy. Too bad you don’t speak autist. The second problem is economic alignment. The autist does not understand money the way you do, if they did, they would be on half a mil+ comp packages within the system. You think just because you found them and funded them they work for your bags? No sir - they work for the mission. And you better pray that mission has the side effect of increased enterprise value or a path to liquidity. If not - thank you for your donation we will be applying our next gen quantum computing capabilities to solve poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, the wealthy heirs. Success in the system means nothing because they will never emerge out of their parents’ shadow. Their grandfathers name is on your university lecture theatre. Desperate to make a name for themselves, they will reject the family mandate to manage the real estate portfolio in order to found a startup. They might even take your venture cheque even though your fund is smaller than his inheritance bc an external fund provides “validation”. You will vie for allocation alongside people who want an intro to their dad. Pros - they have near infinite funding and networks. Downside - they don’t care about money and might be retarded. Good luck getting an exit.

"Singapore has no startups because everything is too convenient" Bro China has the most convenient payment and utility payment systems on earth. That clearly didn't stop them. The real problem: Singapore's system is so well-designed that the rational move for a smart person is to never leave it. NUS → DBS → $10K/month by 30. The expected value genuinely beats startup odds. Smartest locals I know "try" startup for one year — after thinking about it for three. Meanwhile US/China founders just jump. And if Grab started in SG instead of Malaysia, you think MOT wouldn't have shut it down before Series A? It's not convenience. It's a system optimized for comfort, and a culture that counts the odds before jumping.

‼️ Meet Devesh aka IDISSEVERYTHING, he used an exploit to gain unauthorized access to a screener company, then downloaded the latest Avatar movie and leaked it. He was also sentenced in 2016 for breaching NFL's Twitter account. And tweeting with it. From his home IP address 🤡🧵

Literally all I need in life is a large vibrant friend group full of extroverted nerds, a beautiful smart funny gregarious girlfriend, and a high paying job that is both intellectually rewarding and socially impactful. That can’t be too hard right?
