Asian strivers are the most annoying and uninspiring group of people ever and she seems like a striver on steroids.

Oh gee golly....another woman attention whoring on social media. I was getting worried we were running out of that. I'll give her credit for being book smart, at least that angle is refreshing, as opposed to the usual nonsense. Still, even under that guise, at its fundamental base, her posts are attention whoring. Yawn.

She seems both brilliant and reckless.I admire that kind of drive though. At 20, she's already living life to the fullest. I wonder if she's wired like Alex Honnold, someone whose amygdala requires much stronger stimuli to trigger fear.

C'mon dude.

Usually you'd be right but not in this case. She's a very intelligent, driven, pretty young woman who is sharing her discoveries and exploits of trying to make the world better. There is nothing whorish about it.
