Why simplify?
First and foremost, simplification as strengthening. Even if you think about the ancient Greeks, the apex of wisdom, their thinking was strong, simple and wise.
Also, if you think about the apex of ancient Greek literature, the Iliad and the odyssey by homer, and the language used was all inspiring, in terms of just how sublimely simple it was.
Clean, bright, new, minimalist.
The gym zen is my happy space:
Incoming soon.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade:
When situations when things may seem to go against what you desire, perhaps the interesting approach then is to use the opportunity in your favor.
For example, I was only told by one of the staff members at my gym that taping weights on top of the barbell was against safety protocol. As a consequence, I just loaded up more weight on the side of the barbell, not really knowing whether I would be able to lift it up or not. This ended up being a blessing in disguise, because even though I made a massive jump, I got it up!
Perhaps this is a great stoic strategy to life?
This is the tricky thing; to consider the nuance in life of income versus expenses, savings etc.
This gets particularly interesting when your income is not fixed. That means, you don’t get a salary. Instead, when you are a self entrepreneur.
I thought that I had is that ultimately, maybe the best strategy is to simply slow drip yourself a base income, let’s say $5000 USD a month.
One thing I did learn from Daniel Kehnammen thinking fast and slow, is that ultimately, with money, it is better to instead of just give yourself a one huge lump sum, instead, better to have it come to you in small chunks.
For example, if you won the lottery, rather than anccepting all the money in one huge chunk, better to simply have it come to you in monthly installments.
Conversely, with bad things, bad news etc., better to give all the bad news in one huge lump sum, rather than in drips.
Become the change which you desire to see manifested in the world!
Never stop innovating.
Fun life idea —
Once you have thought things through, and you realize that money is just a fiction, then, just keep withdrawing your cryptocurrency into US dollars to just cover your basic living expenses, and while you slowly withdraw some of your bitcoin and crypto into US dollars for your bank account to pay for rent, meat, travel etc., smile and see your overall thing grow.
To me this is such an insanely optimistic thing, especially with services like Coinbase. What does this mean? The overall portfolio value of your crypto and bitcoin will keep going up, stratosphere high, and you might only need to slowly withdraw $5000 USD a month for just basic living expenses.
Is this how the real rich live?
Brave new world for photographers and crypto:
Do you really want people to know what your status really is?
In terms of safety, it actually makes more sense to be perceived as more poor for the rich. Why? You don’t want to get robbed or have your stuff stolen or having people ransoming your family etc.
Having solar panels at home, charging your electric car at home, no need to go to the gas station. Just buy coffee on Amazon bulk no need to go to a coffee shop. And also build a home gym.
Then, what else do you need?
Perhaps the upside of building your own home gym, in your garage, front lawn or backyard is that if it helps you save time, it is 1000% worth it.
Even though I love the gym, I’m starting to realize that there is a lot of wasted time.
Also, spending money in terms of where to live. This seems like a good idea if you can use money to live closer to your workplace, in order to reduce commuting or driving time.
The only style and approach of weightlifting which is interesting is the one which requires courage.
One rep max style.
One of the things I hate about modern day fitness is that there are too many “form nazis“. That means, “Your form is illegitimate and bad. You must do it as I do it.â€
Just leave other people alone!
Also, when you give suggestions, do it in a good hearted spirit, not denigrating.
Simple is supreme:
Because I don’t want to live anywhere forever.
DESTROY!
I destroy everybody else!
Not tech, Apple, Tesla, cameras etc … but instead, strength.
Building a gym?
Atlas lift is the way! Also buy a Texas power squat bar!
Also, an insane lust for more?
Simple programming: just add 2.5 pounds to each side of the barbell week over week!
First simple thing — more physiological power at the gym! Ever greater one rep maxes and personal records in all my lifts.
Goal: 1,200 pounds and beyond!
In America, we typically think that people who have a lot of money, or who earn a high salary is “rich“. However, that is not the case. If you’re a tech slave, working 200 hours a week, earning $1.2 million a year, you are just a well-paid slave.
Perhaps, the notion or the ideal of becoming “rich†or “successfulâ€, is the red lemming. The red herring. The real goal of something else. Becoming more powerful is the goal.
The path to real power.
Who is the new elite class? Not the working class, not anyone who works a high paying tech job.
Not anybody who receives a salary. It doesn’t matter if you’re being paid $500,000 or $750,000 a year.
The real Rich; real estate developers, Hollywood producers, etc.
Maybe I should do both? Get into real estate development, and also producing Hollywood movies?
Once again, note, it is not even movie directors or actors. They are simply the scapegoats. It is the producers who have the real power.
Also in music, it is not the rappers or the musicians who have power. It is the music producers, or those who run the labels.
Funny enough, it is not rich People Who drive ., Tesla’s. But, middle-class and upper middle-class people.
Real rich people seem to prefer to drive Mercedes AMG cars, G wagons, etc.
Or better yet, real rich people dancing to reach her about their car much. They drive old beat up civics, Honda odysseys etc.
For example, middle-class people tend to be very overfat.
Also, a lot of “fake rich“ people are also not fit.
Also, people from poor working class socioeconomic status also have poor health.
But the funny question, who actually has good health?
At the gym, who is healthy? People with a tan. People who often frequent the beach actually look pretty healthy.
For men, at the gym the men with very strong legs, very thick and muscular legs look healthy.
For women, also women with strong legs and buttocks looks strong and healthy.
Theory; people with strong and muscular legs look most healthy?
Or in other words, every day is leg day!
No “ketoâ€.
You cannot fake 100% carnivore. There is no such thing as fake meat.
So what is the best type of meat to eat? Typically organ meats, beef heart, beef liver, beef kidney, beef large intestine etc.
For me, meat. Also, gym. Also, sunlight.
For example, 1000 cal of eating Twinkies will result in the difference between eating 1000 cal of beef liver.
Or, consuming 1000 cal of white sugar is different than consuming 1000 cal of beef heart.
Also, the reason why all these “0 cal“ sweeteners are so pernicious is that they still make you fat.
Coke zero makes you fat, stevia makes you fat, etc.
Since crossing the 905 pound barrier for doing my atlas lift, in order to ensure that I don’t “hurt“ myself, I actually spend more time doing yoga, stretching, warming up, and doing mobility hip mobility and back things.
There should be more outdoor yoga places.
The reason why it is so funny is that the reason why there are even notions of “hot yoga“, is because traditionally in India, it is hot as fuck and humid as fuck. Therefore, it isn’t hot yoga for the sake of hot yoga, but simply, to chase what is natural outside!
Why? Because it gets in your way. also, big phones are bad too, because it also gets in your way!
Similarly speaking, bad homes are bad because they get in your way, and also, big cars are bad because it also gets in your way!
Big is bad.
When I see empty spaces, I love it because to me, it signals opportunity!
The hilarity is when people telling me all the time, be careful, you might hurt yourself, they’re kind of missing the point.
One rep max, extremely heavy weightlifting, powerlifting hypelifting demigod lifting is only interesting because there is an opportunity for a downside!
Also, the reason why it is good is that because it is “dangerous“, I can’t fuck around. I need to focus, I cannot be distracted.
Crypto.com and the crypto.com arena — assuming that the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James, etc. will be around for a long time; so much insanely free marketing for crypto and beyond!
To be swollen — initially with milk (an udder).
Theory — perhaps back in the day, it was good to be fat and to swell things. For example, if you had a cow, and it was swollen with milk, swollen utters, with also with a lot of flesh and fat, it was seen as good! To be fat and swollen was a sign of prosperity.
However in modern/day times, this has changed. In fact, being fat and swollen, having extra body fat adipose tissue is actually a sign of poorness and poverty.
Skinny simply means “resembling skinâ€.
typically, the reason at least with skinny as bad because the signal is that what this week but if one is strong, then being “skinny†(thin) is a non notion.
Therefore it isn’t a notion of skin or skinniness but being frail?
Why is Google a trap? The issue is that when thinking forward into the future, and once chat GPT, Google AI and Google bard to take over, that means, there will no longer be a need for “human content generatorsâ€.
But, I think this will be the downfall of Google. Why? Ultimately all of these AI learning models come from human beings. Once you try to take human beings out of the equation, Google AI, AI in general will just become like a snake eating its own tail. Nothing new.
Same with clothes and perhaps lifestyle?
Chainlink has over a $1 trillion market cap??
Don’t let intelligence, knowledge, wisdom getting your way!
Fugitive thoughts.
Game respect game.
What is being humble were indeed, a vice? Or weakness?
The hilarity is when we are younger, we try our best not to get anybody pregnant. However, once we’re older, we want to intentionally get pregnant, some people have issues.
I’m writing this from a male perspective; the best thing you could do to increase your fertility is to get your testosterone up, sleep 10 to 12 hours a night, get rid of your chronic stress, get into one rep max hypelifting, 100% percent carnivore diet, consume more cholesterol and organ meats which include beef liver, beef heart, beef large intestine.
Also, stop smoking weed, and stop consuming alcohol, both of those lower your testosterone. Also stop watching TV shows, playing video games, or series; real men do not do this.
JAY Z.
I have achieved physical perfection in myself, my wife is physical perfection, and also, my son is physical perfection. Now what?
Something I have been curious about, and I don’t even watch sports or basketball; why does everyone hate on LeBron James?
I think everyone hates on LeBron James because he is the best, the greatest. Maybe even the greatest of all time. He might even surpass Michael Jordan, because he is still in the game, not yet retired, and is still playing.
While Kobe Bryant was still alive, everyone would criticize him for always being injured.
Therefore the thought about greatness:
Instead of seeking to avoid being hated, or being judged or criticize, maybe, we should court it even further.
Why is this the case? Because, you will never hate or criticize or judge somebody who is small or mediocre, because they are simply not on your radar.
Then, we should we grimly smile when we are being the topic of discussion?Why? It is a signal of our greatness.
Or another words, when we are not the topic of discussion and not being criticized or judged or hated on, it is a bad sign.
