Ancient Greece-Civilisation, Logic

"Right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."

Pure poetry

thinking

"
Doing Math is like climbing a mountain
We find the simplest and most logical route up to the peak

An unsolved problem is like an unconquered peak
Riemann Hypothesis, Hodge conjecture, Golbach conjecture, P vs NP

There are still many peaks to conquer

Physicsits observes phenomenon, makes hypothesis and run experiments to verify the hypothesis.
Mathematicians constructs and runs all the experiments in their heads

Mathematicians look and attempt to solve problems from a variety of angles

CNY

Its CNY

BUT

We should never let go of our sights, goals and dreams.
So let's begin with a math quiz

The source of a lunatic asylum cost 6 million. How many houses at 15,000 each could have been built for that amount? To keep a mentally ill person cost approximately $4 per day, a cripple $5.50, a criminal $3.50. Many civil sevants receive only $4 a day, a white collar employee barely $3.50, unskilled worker not even $2 per head for their families. According to conservative estimates, there are 300,000 mentally ill, epilepstics in care. How much do these people cost in total, at a cost of $4 per head? How many marriage loans, at $1000 each could be granted from this money?

Just Kidding everyone

happy CNY

social chains/rules

As a Chinese dude

There are certain rules that I'm supposed to adhere to

Respect to seniors
Being filial
To be diligent

What's the purpose of those things?
Is there a need to respect irresponsible seniors?

Filial?
Remember some MP scholar dad whose scholar daughter once said before
"Well life will definitely kill you in the balls if you aren't good enough"

You think she's filial?

Diligent? For what?

Black hair, black eyes, round nose
pui them all

Aryan

on that bloody ang mor

I have this ang mor tutor who is from Aussieland

Have been in Singapore for the past ten years

Well he's a lousy

Don't know why the government pays him to work here.
I'm 100% confident I can do a better job in conducting the tutorials than him.

No one understands his English, not even the e-lit grads
He lies through his teeth: when I showed pics of RV and *********, showing the inequality in our education landscape.

He claims he doesn't mind having his daughter studying a school with inferior facilities as long as she's having fun.

This coming from a white guy? Who floods all the international schools?

And anywhere how can you trust a foreign talent from OZ
A country where they have three months worth of leave

Think 365 days
260 are weekdays
- 90 days of leave
you left with 170
minus some public holds
you left with about 160

Who in the right mind will leave a country that works for less than half the time
To work in a microwave oven?
that's made of steel bars?
with a brand that looks like a thunder striking through a circle?

Well those outcasts of course

on being rich

Name the three richest people you know
Now name the top three most useless, people you think who are undeserving of what they have, who they are.

Are there any intersections?

Throughout my life I met so many people who don't deserve things they have

But seriously

You got to wonder whether its their rich fathers that screw them up, or are they just so screwed up that they just can't do anything at all.

But well let me first start with achievements linked supposedly, to merit

Remember SAF? OCS?
Supposedly the best recruits go there...
But who are they judged against?

If you put me inside an obese company...will I be the best recruit?

Will "best" is a subjective word...but I guess its not difficult to study its complement and consider what kind of people DO NOT DESERVE having a bar on their shoulder?

I have met officers who's hobbies are falling sick and getting injured...Govt paid 1k plus a month for such people?

Me?
550 a month and have to smell 200 asshole's shit everyday.


Speaking about SAFDB reminds me of my batch mate Chew actually
Well nice guy...quite fit...straight As student...rich dad...the kind of face that you won't want to scold but want to sayang when he makes mistakes.

Big Pussy

Well dad is rich enough to send him to Aussieland and study Med
His case...not too bad

On the other hand I have met guys who are just plain weak, academically stupid and is the kind that can't do any job well but sulk when they suck.

Does it matter?

Rich dad

Its so depressing that I don't even wish to talk about those useless people.


If there is really a god.

Is he one that ensures fairness?
Or is he one that rewards the fittest, and punishes the weak?

Why should fairness be granted to those that are undeserving?

"O"s

Recently Saint Nicks scored big on the "O"s exam results and the papers went wild with headings like "88% of top scorers are females"

And when interviewed these female top scorers commented on how girls at 16 are more disciplined than guys and thus can sit down for a longer time to mug.

Bull-shit

Firstly we need see that schools like RI, Chinese high, ACS(I) do not take "O"s anymore, coupled with NUS high (which has a substantial number of guys).
Next see that "O"s is a norm-referenced grading system
The Saint-Nicks scored big time due to a lack of competition, I guess.

Imagine if we remove the whole EPL from England now, Newcastle will be the best team in England and taking part in Champions league already.

Discipline? Sitting down and study for long hours?
What happen to teach less learn more?
Dynamic and holistic education?
How does sitting down in front of a book for long hours prepare you for the real-world, globalized work-force out there?

Discipline in study?
No life you mean?

Girls being more disciplined than guys?
You know guys at 15,16?
They think about sex 24/7

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DEDICATION AND DISCIPLINE IT TAKES?
TRY BEATING THAT
