Tell me about your ratio and then I’ll tell you mine.
You just bought some homes in bay area.
Now, Mr.Market targets one company or other and pulling down. They just need some issues, based on analysts research, and make it public to bring down.
I am pessimistic about stocks, next one year, than Bay area real estate !
Today, I came out with appx 6% YTD return from stocks. It was 11.54% peak in Jan end 2018.
I am on the opposite, planning to buy some real estate than stocks.
Most people go FIRE on RE. Statistics is much more powerful than WS propaganda.

Most people may not be you. Most people FI first then RE. I RE first then FI, applying the concept of 置之死地而后生.
Most people think you can’t put the cart in front of the horse, I believe is ok, applying the concept of 斧底抽薪.

Killed and Born? That’s a new concept, does it mean you lose all your money on stocks so that you would get a chance for a second life? I bet many poeple will accept this deal
Translation is not good. More like how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly 
not a phoenix rises from ashes.
Ugly duckling turned swan.

Wishing? Praying? Need some 奋斗 for change and to achieve.
If you buy a google home robot and tell your robot, "置之死地而后生”，what will the robot do?
-
Kill you first, run to Costco to buy formula and diaper, then wait for the baby you
-
Burn your house down to ashes, waiting patiently for the Phoenix to rise
-
Go buy an ugly duck and watch it closely to see how it turns to a swan

Axe bottom salary? Axe is the lowest paid? I think nails should be paid less.
Translation not good.
斧 is not an axe, is a porcelain cooking pot.
薪 is not salary, is the wood for burning.
When a pot is boiling and you have tried all ways to stop it without success, you have to go to the root of the problem, remove the wood 
So the correct translation is remove the wood from the bottom of the cooking pot
Google translate should include a canned table of Chinese proverbs and sayings. If match, just take from the canned answer and not try to translate.

Even with English, I think robots can be fatal to its owners. Suppose a person regrets over something she did, so she screams “kill me”. What do you think her robot will do?
Robots will be able to think exactly like humans plus can do all the complex calculations of today’s computers.
If that’s the case, everyone can retire.
The political issue would be who will be the owner of the robots. Will government confiscate all the robots and implement communism for real humans?
Like self driving cars, robots will have limited abilities in the next 20 years…Farther out from there, I don’t care
No. The robot race replaces all humans. Humans become extinct. Survival of the fittest.
Vision of robots is overblown. Cyborgs are the new humans 
Non cyborg humans are just another primate.
