Guava Portable Baby Crib Travel for Home and Abroad
One of the biggest game changers is being gifted a guava baby travel crib from our friend Rachel. It has been insanely clutch; Seneca has slept in it pretty much solo ever since he was born.

CREATIVE VISION
Too see certain things which others don’t:
-
INSANE DETAIL
Ricoh GR IIIX in small JPEG, high contrast black and white. If this ain’t sharp enough, I don’t know what is.
-
THE FIRST TIME IS BEST
For example, the upside of being a first time parent. How exciting and new everything is!

WHY I AM ANTI CONFUCIANISM
Confucius was a low level small political and governmental officer. Mencius essentially stole his concepts and ideas to create a new state ideology and form of social control.

Perhaps being wasteful is a good thing.
If you’re rich enough. Waste water!
For example, just leave the garden hose on, and just let your kid keep playing with the water in the hose until they bore of it. And if it is an hour!
For example, when I am in the suburbs of Orange County with Seneca, Cindy’s mom doesn’t really let Seneca waste water much. However the upside is that my mom is that she doesn’t care. She is far more liberal. She doesn’t moralize Seneca for being “bad†for being “wasteful†with the water.
Therefore my theory; in order to become more creative, experiment more, and become more, we need to become more wasteful and extravagant?
Also, the funny thing is that letting Seneca play with the water hose for an hour is better than hiring a babysitter! Also a lot better than letting him veg out in front of a device.

The irony of safety equipment
For example wearing gloves, shoes or other protective equipment, you have less sensation and might actually end up hurting yourself (over confidence.)

How to make an iPad stand vertically?
I love the iPad, but one big problem about it is that it takes up too much surface area when putting on a table.
Is there a way in which we could design a case or a stand or something, for an iPad to balance well standing vertically?

Reality vs Desire
I don’t like or I don’t want to eat meat, but I don’t want to be fat. Also, I want to be buff.
Reality — one must eat much meat and flesh.

Why Honorifics? (Do North Koreans use Honorifics 존댓�)
For example, do North Koreans use honorifics? My theory is once communism took over China and also in the context of North Korea, honorific were abolished? It was a notion of Confucianism which is an old and to be destroyed.
For example, think about how the communists like to use the word “comrade“, creating some sort of pseudo-egalitarianism, thus trying to undermine hierarchy.

REAL RICHES
Not your net worth. Your liquid cash.
How much money you got in the bank, not your net worth. Liquid cash is king.
Why is net worth not a good measure of real wealth? My theory is the concept of “net worthâ€, was invented by bankers and individuals to inflate, artificially, their own value. The reason why a home is useless; it is not as easy to sell a house as you think it is. All of the pain of the escrow process, as witnessed by me seeing Cindy‘s mom who is a real estate broker.

Just get the most basic model
Why? Our cars, devices and clothes and other things are more like fashion; we quickly bore and tire of them.

Make the icon as beautiful as humanly possible
Why? If we’re going to look at it all day, certainly don’t you want to click on it?

INSANELY SIMPLE.
Make it insanely simple.

Anything slower than instant is too slow.
Perhaps why I would still prefer to have a gasoline or hybrid car — the freedom of instant (near instant) “rechargingâ€.

WEB DESIGN IS ROBUST DESIGN
To have to design and build real life homes takes too long, is too cumbersome and expensive. Much superior to design things on the internet and web — far more power, control, flexibility, speed, no cost, and freedom!
