“I don’t hate it”.
– Steve Jobs
-
A Perpetually Dynamic Life.
The life I desire and prefer.
-
Pain vs Injury
Pain ain’t a big deal, but injury is bad. Disregard the pain which doesn’t come with injury, but heed the pain which signals injury.
-
I hate packing
Optimize your life which requires the least amount of packing.
-
Just buy the newest thing
When it comes to technology, it seems the best strategy is to just buy the newest thing, and hold onto it as long as possible.
-
Nothing tying you down
No possessions, no home, no car. Just your wallet, money, finances, crypto, and the clothes and things that could fit inside a single backpack.
-
Why be anywhere?
If you have the option, why stay in any one spot?
-
Prefer your own preferences
Rather than asking others what they like or what their preferences are, think deeply about what your own personal preferences are, and optimize for your own preferences.
-
Clothing as Combat Armor
Another thought: what should clothing be? Perhaps modern day combat armor.
-
The car as your tank?
In a world where we do not really need to commute to work anymore, or really commute anywhere, what is the ethos of the modern car? Either for it to be your own personal spaceship, or your own armored vehicle, a tank.
-
Non Attachment
Good to get rid of or return things you actually really like. Non attachment.
-
The Zen of Driving
No music, podcasts or distractions. Maximal focus while driving promotes zen — zen focus, zen thinking.
-
Haptic Response is Great
In praise of haptic response. Addictive and great.
-
Spend the least amount of time in a car possible
Regardless of how great or luxurious it is. Better to be outdoors, standing, walking.
-
Romantic Notions Are Bad
Romanticism, being “romantic” and romantic notions are bad.
-
Spend the least amount of time sitting
Perhaps this is what makes flying better than driving.
-
Low-Key Aesthetics
This is why I love all black everything. Also, often flashy things distract myself. And I hate being distracted.
-
Self Creation
Don’t upload or share anything which you didn’t create yourself.
-
The utility of something is proportional to the amount you use it
The “best” as something you use the most frequently. RICOH GR IIIX as the best camera for this high utility reason. Also iPhone SE for small size and curved edges. Easier to fit and slip in and out of your front pocket.
-
Cars or not useful when they’re parked
Cars are only useful when they’re being driven, or when they’re in motion. Therefore, avoid any car that sits too long in your garage or Parkway.
-
Think less about the tools and equipment, think more of your personal goals and your personal endgame.
What is it that you truly desire? What is your true desired endgame?
-
Don’t Get in My Way
I don’t need “help”, I just don’t want anyone or anything to get in my way.
-
Hunger is the Motivator for Action?
If you desire to do more and act more, best to perpetually be hungry during the day, besides feasting on meat before sleeping.
-
Drive With More Confidence
The upside of all wheel drive cars, and also cars with foglights.
-
Forever Hungry
Better to always be hungry than to always be full.
-
Bitcoin for Big Purchases
A thought: perhaps when it comes to small payments, we will continue to use cash, credit cards, etc. But with very big purchases, like buying a car or buying a home, we will use certain cryptocurrency‘s like bitcoin more often.
