In Praise of TouchBar

Getting rid of the Touch Bar seems like a massive step *BACKWARDS*,

I really like the TouchBar on MacBook Pro — the ability to program it, and also, the intuitive ways to change the brightness and volume controls, and access my Apple Music library (change songs without opening a new app).

Also, deep integration with Apple Photos (flag photos, send photos, favorite photos, rotate photos).

The TouchBar with the MacBook Pro was a *HUGE LEAP* forward in terms of futuristic thinking with the laptop. The 14” MacBook Pro as a massive compromise, a huge step BACKWARDS.

Touch and touching is good.

Get rid of this notion that ‘touching is bad’ or ‘see see, no touch’.

Maximum Contrast

A life philosophy. With your clothing, choose an outfit with the maximum amount of contrast. Also with you and your life partner, best to have a life partner who has the maximum contrast to you.

And of course in photography, use a filter or process your photos with max contrast.

Photo Conducive

When making certain life decisions, or every day decisions, considering ask yourself: which decision will be more conducive to my photography? Which decision or opportunity will give me the chance to see more photo opportunities, and therefore shoot more photos?

The Closer to the Ground, the Better.

Sleep on the ground, no bed frame. The lower your car to the ground, the better. Deadlift as the best lift — closest to the ground.

POWER FOOD

What food best contributes to your physiological power? Foods high in fat and cholesterol (beef liver, ribs, belly, heart) and other highly nutritious meats. Pasture raised eggs.

Also, sleep is godlike. Sleep reigns above all else.

Health & Art

Only trust art which was created by healthy individuals. There is healthy art, and sick art.

A healthy artist should be in great physical shape. Even Pablo Picasso in his older years was in quite great health. Just look at photos him topless at the beach, in his more advanced years, with his young wife and kid.

I love Kanye West, but it looks like his physical shape nowadays is quite poor. Also love Peter Thiel, but it looks like he has developed a little bit of a gut nowadays too.

Elon Musk‘s health looks quite good. Same goes with Jack Dorsey.

I also like it how the bodybuilder Kai has created his own art comic book series, I trust him more so than a Frank Miller, a shrewd and strange looking man who creates heroic and masculine comic books.

The reason why I also really like John Wick, is that the director Chad S looks like he’s in great shape— Chad started his career as a stunt double, before becoming a director.

Or another words, only trust artists who can deadlift more than 405 pounds and squat more than 315 pounds.

SHOW MORE FLESH.

Perhaps the reason why the entertainment industry is in Southern California, Hollywood, and Los Angeles is because the weather in the sun allows maximum flesh exposure.

The Less Clothes, The Better.

If you want to attract more attention, wear less clothes, and show more skin and flesh.

For men, don’t wear a shirt, and wear short shorts. Also, don’t wear a hat, and don’t wear sunglasses. Show your face.

Also, if you decide to wear a shirt, the best shirt is a ripped black one.

The best statement shoes is vibram five fingers in black (EL-X model).

IRON MAN

What are Iron Man colors? Hot rod red, and gold. This also makes for a good colorway for cars: shiny hot red car, with gold rims.

ATTRACT ATTENTION.

Don’t hide in the shadows or shade. Optimize being loud and flashy. ”Break necks”.

Just think: what attracts the most attention?

EXCITING?

The problem–

Ain’t nothing excites us anymore.

We need more excitement, things which excite us.

New Apple products no longer excite us. It all seems so boring now. Even the marketing copy is boring and not exciting anymore.

New excitements at least with products include TESLA MODEL S PLAID (1.99 seconds from 0-60).

Also, Kanye West music is still exciting, and YEEZYSUPPLY products and sneakers.

Google Products Hijack Our Brains in Strange Ways

For example, do you ever find yourself with half a second of free time, instinctively taking out your phone, opening up the Gmail app, and scrolling it and refreshing it to check if you got any new email, even if you checked half a second ago?

Also — googling something before thinking about it.

Thought:

Stop using Gmail.

For email, use a self hosted option (your own name @ your own domain.com). Use the built in Apple Mail software for your MacBook Laptop, or on your iPhone.

Also, when you have something you’re curious about, don’t google it. Think about it for a long time first, then later if you wanna do more research use wikipedia.org instead.

Don’t be conservative.

When in doubt, test and risk it! Better to risk it than be “responsible” and play it safe and conservatively.
