Not sure how this has to do with h1b visas, however.

otoh, turbostrivey UMC people hauling their 6 YO kids from piano lessons to waterpolo practice (not to mention AZNs) should do more to embrace this critical facet of american culture and let their kids enjoy summers in the sun, unparalleled experience of teen love, etc.

I just think it depends on the family/kid – there's no one approach that works best across an entire culture.  my parents placed no pressure whatsoever on me or my sister, and we excelled naturally.  some parents might need more of a "you're not doing well in this class, so you can't watch TV until you've done your homework" type of disciplining in order to set their kids up for success.

Vivek, ever Elon's pathetic Gunga Din, took to Twitter to defend him and wrote:

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:

Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.

A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.

A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).

More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.

Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.

“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.

This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.

That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

letting kids live their lives and develop unique interests through natural curiosity is how we get a creative, nonconformist culture.

[edit] this is nothing against Indian immigrants or H1Bs; some of the most creative and individualistic people I've known in college and beyond have either been Indian immigrants or children of Indian immigrants.  I'm just taking issue with the whole "everyone needs to strive like me" BS

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5654716&forum_id=2#48489137)

china now innovates MORE than US and doesnt have such a system. wow, odd case, it almost sounds like creativity doesnt stem from beign indoctrainted in school that women can have 17 penises

even ur use of "nonconformist culture" wtf is that? how is that a conturd, trumpmo or MAGA ideal? its 100% a shitlib ideal u stupid retard, the entire idea of conturdism is basically continuing traditions not saying men can birth children or niggas are genuiouses

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5654716&forum_id=2#48489175)

I value both creativity and technical skill.  I'm a software engineer with a variety of interests and hobbies (and coding outside of work is not one of them).  I feel like I have a good balance in my life, I look forward to waking up every day, and I feel fulfilled overall.

I know people of *all* races and nationalities who were unable to achieve that balance bc their parents didn't give them the freedom to explore their curiosity as kids.  now they just make a ton of money moving around money for rich ppl or some shit like that, go home, eat, sleep, repeat.

```This tweet is packed with provocative ideas, so let’s break it down systematically:

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬:

1. 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭:

Vivek is addressing a valid cultural critique: the way societies venerate certain traits over others shapes long-term aspirations and outcomes. The examples about media portrayals and social norms (e.g., glorifying jocks over nerds) resonate with many people and highlight an important cultural dynamic.

2. 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

He frames the issue as a "Sputnik moment," urging a cultural reevaluation rather than relying solely on policy changes or blaming external factors. This can inspire motivation and collective introspection.

3. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠:

The argument that cultural mediocrity hinders competitiveness in a global economy is compelling. It ties personal choices (TV, sleepovers, etc.) to macro-level outcomes, making the discussion feel urgent.

𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬:

1. 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

The argument reduces a complex issue to "culture" while ignoring systemic factors like underfunded education systems, rising inequality, or the role of immigration policy in shaping hiring practices. American engineers aren’t just falling behind because they "chilled" too much in the 90s.

2. 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲:

The dichotomy of "mediocrity vs. excellence" is oversimplified. It’s possible to value fun, relaxation, and social development and achieve academic or technical excellence. This framing risks alienating readers who don’t fit the “hardcore math Olympiad” mold but still achieve remarkable success.

3. 𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐢𝐚𝐬:

His critique of 90s media feels anecdotal and cherry-picked. Many of the referenced shows (e.g., "Boy Meets World," "Saved by the Bell") were comedic entertainment—not societal blueprints. Suggesting they represent a wholesale cultural decline feels like a stretch.

4. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞:

Lines like "More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers" and "more books, less TV" perpetuate the stereotype of joyless "tiger parenting." This might resonate with some, but it risks alienating people who believe in balance or value creativity as much as technical skills.

5. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬:

The invocation of Trump as the catalyst for a "golden era" is polarizing. It dilutes the focus on cultural critique and risks framing the discussion as ideological rather than practical.

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫:

1. 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫:

A culture of excellence also requires equitable access to quality education, supportive environments for mental health, and programs that promote curiosity rather than purely results-oriented achievement. Simply working harder won’t fix structural barriers.

2. 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬:

STEM excellence isn’t the only measure of societal value. By glorifying technical skills alone, this argument risks sidelining creative, social, and emotional contributions, which are equally vital.

3. 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞:

Immigrant families often operate in survival mode, driven by a mix of ambition and necessity. It’s not always a sustainable or universal model. Expecting every family to adopt this approach overlooks differing circumstances and resources.

𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

1. 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞:

Some will appreciate the tough-love message and the focus on personal responsibility. It resonates with a certain ethos of self-discipline and competitiveness.

2. 𝐒𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞:

Others will find it reductive and classist, ignoring how economic conditions, systemic inequalities, and diversity of strengths also play into the equation.

3. 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞:

Younger audiences might push back on the "work harder" rhetoric, viewing it as dismissive of broader systemic challenges and prioritizing burnout over balance.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧:

The tweet touches on important themes but oversimplifies them in ways that could alienate potential allies. A more nuanced discussion about how to balance cultural shifts, systemic reform, and individual effort would make this argument more robust.```
