Freedom is the highest human good

Anything which augments your freedom is good, anything which decreases your freedom is bad.

Even having the freedom to go outside. The freedom to walk outdoors.

For me, my worst nightmare is a stay at home order, where legally I am not allowed to leave my home.

Let us not be fooled— the highest good is not wealth, riches, luxury, happiness, etc. It is freedom. Better to be miserable and free, than happy and enslaved.

First step in life: no longer need to work a 9-5 job.

SELF COMBAT

The other day when doing very very heavy squats, a one rep max attempt;

Thinking, this is simply like self combat; I am trying to attack the bar, attack the iron. A combat with gravity.

COURAGE TO PULL THROUGH

I’m still fascinated by myself:

Perhaps the greatest benefit of powerlifting, one rep max, hypelifting is self testing whether you have the courage to pull through or not.

ANTI LENS COVER

Seneca accidentally threw my RICOH GR IIIX the other day, and the two automatic lens covering protector things fell out. I suppose you don’t need this element:

Then the thought: perhaps RICOH and other camera manufacturers should get rid of this element. It always breaks anyways in the long run.

NOMADIC DURATION?

How long should you live in one place?

Assuming that you want to maximize growth and your personal innovation, I think a semi nomadic existence is best. I would recommend trying to spend at least two years in one spot, before moving on. If you have the option.

What does it mean to be a monk?

To shed away all superfluous things, in order to accelerate your personal advancement. Asceticism as training.

DOES IT REQUIRE COURAGE OR NOT?

Danger is good. Leaving your house is dangerous! Staying home or playing video games— no danger.

No risk, no danger, no interest.

Perhaps the risk of personal injury is actually a good thing; it forces us to focus and not fuck around.

The riskier, the better.
