Anti boring philosophy

I’m sick of my RICOH GR cameras breaking.

My thought and attitude to my broken RICOH GR III/X.

Golds gym Venice beach?

A simple book, collection of thoughts in regards to my thoughts on living?

I’m like the Tim Ferriss 2.0?

It seems that one the big problems of buying a house is that it forces you to spend so much money on renovating it, fixing things, updating things, buy furniture etc.

One of the great upsides of having a small minimalistic apartment is that you cannot procure more furniture, stuff, literally because there’s no space. As a consequence, you actually end up saving money, time, mind space?

It seems that all of my friends, my millennial friends want more “space”. Maybe this is not a good idea.

Clothes which promote exercise?

No need to do any “chest” exercises?

How to think entrepreneurially

Champion.
Movies are optimistic?

Why so boring?

Humor is often boring?

Natural resources for the sake of what?

I hate too slow and boring.

Innovate a New Aesthetic

Small chest and deltoids. Massive arms, biceps, shoulders, legs, thorax

Nobody has GI issues with meat.

Thin slicing.

A life of exploration and conquest?

Anti Boring

Green is the color of life

Innovating new ways to move?

Tesla Autopilot as a great first step.

Flying over driving.

An outdoor gym – far superior for your health than an indoor gym?

A life with maximum time outdoors? My new extreme disdain with indoor gyms.

What is there a modern day paucity of? Ideas.

Looks like it is time for me to find a hardcore powerlifting gym!

I need a gruppier floor— the wood is too slippery. Or a grippy shirt?

Art as the great stimulus, motivator to life!

The benefit and upside of high contrast black-and-white, either in-camera or post-processing is you could better see details, definition.

I need more fire!

For example, at the gym, the only type of weightlifting that I like is the one which is extremely epic and magnanimous, and a high likelihood of failure.

Becoming more optimistic is a virtue.

Vlog

I think I may be one of the most positive and optimistic people out there. Why? Maybe it is a result of my hard knock life upbringing (scars), or something else?

Modern day biases

The first thing is thinking sociologically, and thinking about modern-day society. It seems that the biases in today’s world, one is not permitted to be happy, jovial, friendly or gay. Instead, one is commanded to be morose, dark, melancholy, and depressive.

For example this thought,

“How can you be so happy and optimistic when there is so much pain and suffering and injustice in the world?”

According to Nietzsche in the birth of tragedy, Nietzsche thought that in fact, tragedy, and what Albert Camus may call the “absurd”, perhaps the point exactly is this:

What makes tragedy so optimistic and positive? In lieu of all the tragedy, there is still hope, joy, and optimism.

For example as Nietzsche says at the end of “the will to power“, he sees reality as Bacchus or Dionysus forever being cut off, but being born a new. Or our modern-day depiction, imagine Deadpool perpetually getting his limbs cut off, but still being able to regenerate his limbs anew. Certainly he still feels the pain, but in fact, he is practically immortal. Or consider Wolverine, he still feels the pain when he unsheathes the adamantine claws from his body, and he still feels the insane pain when he is wounded, yet, he is still able to regenerate.

It takes more courage to be friendly, jovial, positive, and friendly than to be standoffish

Another weird thing, it seems that the bias in today’s world is that it is cool to be antisocial or standoffish. This leads to people wearing hats, sunglasses, hiding their face, wearing oversized clothes, and perpetually staring at their smart phone.

However, I believe this to be a cowardly approach and aesthetic.

Practices

How can you practice being more optimistic and positive?

1. When you’re walking around the block, or outside, just wave and say good morning to everyone, regardless if or if not they respond to you or not.
2. Maybe we should consider Jesus as a very positive and optimistic thinker, philosopher, and ultimate skin in the game. FYI I am Catholic and a “cult follower” of Jesus.
3. 50×50? How far should we be relentlessly kind jovial and cheerful, even to those who suck? I say 50×50
4. Murder them with kindness: A dark and morose thought, but still positive?

Weightlifting, hormones, testosterone?

There is a bias that testosterone makes you angry, and gives you “roid rage” (steroid rage).

However, this is my theory a la Nassim Taleb:

In fact, men with higher levels of natural testosterone are actually much more jovial, kind, friendly, and courteous than men with low testosterone.

This is what I believe to be the nuance:

If you are a man with high levels of natural testosterone, you’re happy and kind 99.9% of time. However, that .01% of the time that’s someone crosses the line, you tolerate no bullshit.

In fact, it is actually my theory that men with low levels of testosterone are the ones who are the most “passive aggressive.” A real man could not even be passive aggressive if he wanted to or tried.

Weight lifting is the answer

Very simple — one rep max style lifting, the ERIC KIM APPROACH.

That is,

Lift the maximum weight you possibly can, just once.

No “reps” (repetitions).

I believe this to be the best way to naturally boost your testosterone, practice yelling and screaming by getting insanely loud (primal screaming, HYPELIFTING, hyping yourself up). Let us consider modern day man is no longer permitted to be loud, yell, scream, or be a “savage” or beast.

Also, the insane huge endorphin rush associated with attempting a one repetition maximum lift. You must concentrate 100% of your effort, and focus, before attempting to lift a new personal record, something you have never attempted before. To me this is the ultimate life hack.

Unconquerable

I believe in life, as long as you have ambition, sleep well (8-12 hours a night), eat well, there is nothing you cannot attempt or do.

Why is everything so thoroughly dissatisfying to me?

Another aberrant thought in regards to optimism, perhaps it is extreme dissatisfaction which is the genesis of my optimism. Why? I believe it in my power and ability to change and steer my fate, and the direction of my life, in a way that I find personally pleasing.

Adding more dynamism to your life

Once you have a perfect life, then what? Then the next step is to simply keep adding more dynamism to your life.

Towards a one rep max philosophy to life.

Striving to become more heavy seems like a foolish pursuit.

For example, with travel, insanely lightweight is supreme. Any additional weight you add is positively detrimental to you.

Also with cars, making a car heavier, even if you add more horsepower is bad. Why? The rules of physics. A car that is heavier, irregardless of how low it is to the floor or wide, will perform less well at the race track. This is typically why very lightweight cars are more fun to drive, let’s say a Mazda Miata, or a mini Cooper.

In terms of weightlifting, bodybuilding in the gym, do not strive to become heavier. Typically when guys do this, they just end up getting fatter.

The simple approach then is just lift insanely heavy at the gym, eat a lot of meat, no starches no carbs no vegetables and fruit etc. Just eat until you’re naturally full, and then let the muscular gains come to you naturally.

For weightlifting, the squat is considered one of the fundamental exercises. However, to me, if I think about it critically, it doesn’t really make sense to me.

What doesn’t make sense to me? Well first of all, certainly lifting up the weight makes sense. However, having to unrack the weight, step back, squat down to an arbitrary depth, and then having to stand back up makes no sense as a movement.

What makes more sense? Setting the weight at about mid height, getting under the bar, and just standing up. Or as I do with the atlas lift, just getting under the bar, lifting up the weight and holding it on my shoulders, and then putting it back.

Moral of the story: there is no really good reason to do a squat in terms of an exercise.

It seems that both benefit from athletics.
