Life and growth is all about the dynamic, not the static.

A simple thought: perhaps it is best for us to optimize all aspects of our lives to be dynamic, not static. This goes with our artwork, our lifestyle, our workouts, and our design philosophy.

For example, when it comes to working out, dynamic stretching rather than static stretching. And also when working out, better to do dynamic movements like kettle bell swings, than
static ones.

When it comes to design, best to have colors and design elements which are dynamic. For example, perhaps the best paint color for a car is one of those rainbow or chameleon vehicle wraps, which always change color depending on the angle you look at it. Also the best car design is the one with lots of angles, vents, curves, convex and convex shapes, which are so dynamic that they always look different depending on the angle you look at it. For example, the great air ducts of a McLaren car. If you could quickly figure out a car silhouette and design too quickly, it is static and boring.

Also with films, the best movies are the ones which are dynamic, and have all the dynamic range between the quiet moments and the action packed ones. This is why John Wick is so entertaining. There is a lot of action and killing in John Wick, but there is some very quiet and reserved moments as well.

I think this is also why we love videos and animated GIF photos, because they are dynamic and moving. Often static photos or less interesting to look at than videos. Even when I’m sharing photos of the growth of Seneca, it seems that the dynamic videos that shoot are actually much more interesting to watch and experience, because they are dynamic with movement sound and other details in the video.

Life and growth is dynamic, not static

The funny thing is that the notion of having all black everything, and all matte black, it is essentially a symbol of death. Real life is verdant, green and ever-changing.

Dynamic personalities

When it comes to human beings, what do we distain the most? Boring people. Boring people are static and their lives never change. We are far more interested in personalities that always changing, let’s say like Kanye West, and we are more entertained by politicians like Donald Trump than Joe Biden.

Cryptocurrency is dynamic

The funny thing is they often talk about bitcoin and cryptocurrency as being “volatile”, But I think I actually a better way to describe it is dynamic. The prices of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are dynamic, and ever-changing. And this is what makes them fun.

A Dynamic economy

What is the best economy? A Dynamic one. As long as goods, services, and things are moving and exchanging, the economy is vibrant and alive. An economy which is static, is essentially a signal of death.

How to put a baby to sleep

Funny enough, when watching Seneca, he seems to enjoy the most when things are static and are changing. He has the most fun when we’re playing, being active, and going on adventures. Also it seems that the best way to nap him is to go on a car ride, or to walk around the block with him to strapped to my chest, or even going on the stroller ride. Perhaps there is something calming about the dynamic, and something scary about the static. 

Optimizing your life for a dynamic lifestyle

The goal isn’t to buy a house and settle down. The goal is to be nomadic, and ever-changing. To always be moving, on the move, and living dynamic. This is also why people strive to become location independent, because they don’t want their movement restricted. And this is also why people love traveling, because it forces them to be more dynamic, whereas when they’re at home their lives are generally still and static.

Why patina is so beautiful

Patina, or wear and tear,or wabi sabi aesthetic are so beautiful because it is dynamic and changes over time. In fact, the fountain of youth would be something undesirable. Even for myself over the last decade I have seen myself age wear and tear, but also become stronger simpler and more wise. The current version of yourself and your future self is better than your past self and old self.

The self is dynamic.
