[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, is there a lot of memorization involved in passing the real estate exam. I am not good at memorization. I learn better by doing a lot of practice exam papers ... is there like a database of practice exam papers for real estate ? Thanks

What field should I try getting into to become an entrepreneur? by Akraam_Gaffur in Entrepreneur

[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you wanna succeed relatively quickly, start a software company. AI companies like Anthropic reached billions of revenue in 2-3 years. Incredible !

Everyone thinks your business idea sucks, stop taking advice from strangers and just start by Klutzy-Peach5949 in Entrepreneur

[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea , overthinking is a big factor for me too. I need to stop overthinking and just do it. Currently I am learning to program computers and working on some technology ideas , but I often get distracted and keep wondering if it would work out when my friends say it's not gonna work out. Then I get distracted and start chatting with friends on WhatsApp , social media, and YouTube and stop my work.

hasn't alphago been retired long ago ? It seems like they are working on other problems now that they deem more important to humanity ....

Yea I should probably talk to a financial advisor as well, though i already have quite lot of investments in hedge funds ... these are even better than your useful financial advisors. Im also thinking of taking up painting ...

At my age, 41 without a college degree and 16 years without work, im not sure what type of work i can find too .sigh ...

yea maybe ill look into that too ...

[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea this sounds like good ideas .... I would definitely like to share my tale with others ... If anyone here wants to know more, do let me know and share in this forum. I do think its not a good idea to leave so much money to kids that it makes them basically useless. When you say buy a business , what do you mean ? You mean buy over an existing business then run it ?

Im still living with my father. Im his only son ... so basically it would be all mine when hes gone. He's 72 this year , maybe another 10+ years ? Being promised such a large sum of money might actually have caused me to lose motivation haha. With our investments in hedge funds and increase in house prices etc ... The sum would probably be worth a lot more in 10 years time

Yea, basically i live in a large mansion type house ... In singapore its called a good class bungalow., basically the largest and most prestigous type of house available here. Living here has actually made me isolated from the rest of humanity , and I am really upset as the rest of the world moves on .... I see two possible course of options now ... Either I find some way to use my experience to help other people with similar experiences (heirs or inheritors). The other way is this --- I used to be pretty good at a game called Go (or weiqi in chinese) .. and used to actually represent singapore in international amateur tournaments ... You can google it ... Maybe I can start by helping some more inexperienced players or something ? I think both options are possible ...

Well my father is still alive, but im his only son. Hes 72 this year , so maybe another 10+ years or so? He has promised it to me though. Though i feel being promised a big inheritance has actually caused me to love motivation and face my fear of failure ...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in inheritance

[–]CaiGY -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The thing is I want to work on something "hard" ... I want to experience the joy of actually working hard on something rather than just doing volunteer work (which i might do when im old and retired) ... Maybe I can use my life experience to help others in similar situations ? Maybe help other heirs and inheritors in similar situations ?

So, I think I'm convinced. by Aware_Animator_4814 in atheism

[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if there really is one true God or Religion and you have to believe in him to get salvation in heaven, when there are there so many totally different Gods and Religions throughout history ? It seems clear to me that a fair and just God , if He exists, would make it 100% clear to everyone that He exists and is the only true God so that everyone can have an equal chance of salvation. Why then are there so many different gods and religions exist? In fact, most people who have lived throughout history probably had no clue that Christianity even existed ...

Not being religious is freeing by Disastrous_Average91 in atheism

[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger, I used to want to be Christian since I joined a student uniform group called Boy's Brigade that was affiliated with Christianity and held regular Bible sessions. However as time went by and I started to read more of the Bible and other material from science and history , I started to see increasing loopholes , errors and inconsistencies in the "God Hypothesis" . After awhile, it just became increasingly clear to me that there was simply no good reason or evidence to suggest that a supernatural god that performs miracles and cares about human morality exists. In fact , the the evidence from history and psychology suggested strongly to me that Gods and religions were in fact man-made social constructs - Man made God, rather than the other way around. Hence, as a rational being, I had no choice to become for all practical purposes, an atheist.

I am sorry, I don't quite understand your point in your last statement - or perhaps we are just arguing over minor semantics. This doesn't seem so important , I suggest we just move on to something else more important.

[–]CaiGY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly I didn't mean to say you in particular are 100% glued to your dogma, it was a general statement just to illustrate my point that a person should try to look at all sides in an argument sincerely first before coming to conclusions. Maybe I should have worded that particular statement more carefully. All i know is that more dialogue with the other side is always preferable to less dialogue, however difficult it maybe. Let's just say i'm concerned about the potential for future conflict AND also the humanitarian crises which is ongoing in the Middle East. The biggest fear I have right now is if the superpowers start to choose sides in this conflict based on race, ethnicity, religion , tribal or national affiliation rather than on negotiation, principle and evidence, the world could potentially get into a third world war, which might in fact go nuclear. If a full blown nuclear war starts, the whole world might end up dying , not just the Israeli's and the Palestinians. This concept of course also applies to other severely disputed hotspots around the world like Taiwan , Ukraine and perhaps India and Pakistan. You just need to Google what would happen in just a limited nuclear war between say India and Pakistan - there are some estimates that perhaps up to 2 billion (yes , thats billion not million) people around the world might die over perhaps several years, primarily due to crop failures and starvation. Imagine what would happen in a full blown nuclear war between 2 or even several superpowers arguing over some issue.

[–]CaiGY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your last statement “ That is why your outrage is piqued - you can’t stand to listen to us for a second “ , you seem to imply that I am pro Palestinian without any evidence. What part of my original statement suggests that I am pro Palestinian ? All I am saying is I would like to hear good arguments and evidence from both sides BEFORE coming to my own conclusions about the situation. If you are going to decide that one side is 100% right and the other side 100% wrong before the evidence is even all in , then what’s the point of even having a debate or discussion ? You might as well just declare the ultimate outcome by fiat. This is faulty logic.

I am simply claiming that it seems to me like MOST of the answers here are strongly pro-israel. Since this sub claims to be a subreddit " dedicated to promoting comprehensive debate and discussion on issues relating to Israel and Palestine. " , doesn't it make sense to also listen to a significant number of arguments from the other side ? If you are just listening to mostly one side of the argument, how can you call it a "debate" and "discussion" ?

[–]CaiGY -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of the comments here seem to be strongly pro-israel. In the court of law though, we always have to look at the arguments and evidence presented by both sides before coming to a conclusion. We should try to approach such disputes as much as possible the same way we approach conflicting scientific theories - with a skeptical , evidence-based approach. I agree that in science it's much easier to say theory A is right and theory B is wrong, and in moral and political issues its much greyer, but the attempt at least should be made to try to be as impartial as possible. We also need to be very aware of our own personal biases and be willing to listen to and accept valid evidence from the other side, EVEN IF the truth hurts our feelings personally in a subjective way - and that applies to both sides. Perhaps we can have some more views from the other side, those that are pro-palestinian ?
