Life in Asia

So what does East Asian value most?

What do Chinese in Beijing value most?

I don’t understand the interactions between the other East Asians. I don’t have history with them at all. Literally, realistically the interaction between Vietnamese and the other East Asians is like 0.01% compared to China.

So what opportunities do I have with the Chinese?

…

So I got around doing something special as I got close to my 40s.

I became humanized as an old fart ‘body’.

General young adult descriptions of me or stereotypes don’t attach no more as I have gotten so old and wise and just grew old over the baseline of normal description from the English language and culture. How does the urban dictionary describe people like me?

…

The Chinese/Chinese-Canadians in the past as young adult, used to compete with me and tell me, “Watch out! This is like life or death in school.” They also had to deal with Whites and Muslims for a spot in graduate school and other professional goals.

But 15+ years after university, there is no such thing as young adult thinking. Young adult thinking used to matter. Now everything is AI, robotics, data centers, tech, business, software and real estate on YouTube. There is some dancing left and showing some mid-riffs. Some karoke.

AI ruined it all including its data centers. They are trying to replicate and reimagine life, gobbling up the past and new inventions found on GitHub for free while charging you some money to use their services.

…

So I do these project with the team, there are North American ‘hobby projects’ which 100% differ from normal projects used to make money and scale.

The amount of views our projects gets is a lot.

But the boss, a white Canadian, says life is to be so singularly focused, do education, ‘stay grounded’ as you want your life documented in some academic research journal in the West and East rather than sell 1 hundred thousand units of a new flavour seafood instant noodles packages in Asia using your fame and popularity there in one hour live stream.

…

To stay grounded is everything I suppose. Isn’t it?
