Literally and metaphorically.

Better to just leave other people alone.

Now that we have image GPT, and these image generation tools, etc., what is the role of humans? The role of humans is creative. It is the human who posits to the machine what to create.

Therefore, man as the philosophical creative value-setter.

The thinker is a walker.

I cannot tolerate when people try to “explain” things to me in a denigrating manner.

The Stoic Masters

Learn from the master stoics:

• Seneca
• Marcus Aurelius
• Epictetus
• Publilius Syrus
• Heraclitus

See all philosophy >

Life is what you make out of it. Literally.

It simply signals how stupidly you’re willing to waste money.

The only and true way to signal your true power is at the gym, how much you’re willing to risk when attempting a certain one rep max.

I currently have all Lululemon everything compression clothing, in black, and I really love it. I have the vital Drive series, both longsleeve and tank top for men, size medium, as well as the vital Drive compression half leggings, and also now the full leggings. They are both great.

This is the clothes that I have worn to hit a new personal records in some of my demigod lifts, atlas lift and rack pull, and also floor bench press.

The reason I think it is good:

1. First of all, it is very easy to roll up, and expose your midsection, essentially turning the clothing into a crop top, which is good because not having fabric on your stomach means that there is less fabric that gets in the way.
2. When I am doing an atlas lift, I like having the long sleeve compression clothing to cover my shoulders, because the barbell will not dig into my flesh. I once did an atlas lift with a very heavy weight, in a tank top, and the serrated edges of the barbell actually broke skin on my beard shoulders. Therefore thinking of compression clothing like a second skin, or a layer of armor is a good idea.
3. Third, one thing I really like about Lululemon clothing for men is that it is very unobtrusive and low-key. No obnoxious logo. The Lululemon logo is small and discreet.
4. I also have a theory that compression clothing is good for productivity. Why? I have a theory that compression clothing motivates you to move. To not remain static.
5. Also, I believe that it is more intelligent to spend a lot of money on your workout clothes than your car. Also, I believe that it is more intelligent to spend a lot of money on your workout clothes than your car. For example, my extreme pride that in my whole adult life, I have never spent more than $2500 USD on the car. Even the last car inherited from my mom, an old 2009 Hyundai sonata with over 200,000 miles on the dash I inherited from my mom for free, and I might’ve only spent about $2000 USD to fix and tune it up. As a consequence, having not been one of these suckers who spend over $30,000 on a car, I believe I have unlimited funds to entrepreneur my clothing and approach to life and things.
6. The interesting thing with Lululemon clothing is that currently speaking, it is the most elite clothing to wear, not only for women but also men. When you go into the gym, nobody has any idea what your drive. And also when you go to the mall, nobody has any idea what car you drive. You cannot take your Lamborghini with you into the mall or into the gym. Better to just have your clothes look like a Lamborghini, Rather than to actually own one. Or better yet, transform your body into a Lamborghini.
7. With the vital drive half legging compression shorts, I roll them all the way up — to show off as much of my thighs as possible! Essentially I now got “booty shorts” for men!

My ideal:

Personally speaking, I believe that the Google pixel, Google pixel pro may actually be a superior phone to the iPhone Pro. Yet the marketing is insanely bad and lame for it. Suggestions and thoughts —

First of all, I think it is very distasteful that all of these corporations and industries have stolen the “Pro“ moniker from Apple. The truly courageous and intelligent thing to do instead is to create their own marketing concept or word for it. For example, Google could call their “Pro” phone the “Titan” or something like that. For example,

Google Pixel Titan

Color naming conventions

“Hazel”?? to call a phone Hazel is insanely bizarre. I have no idea what the color hazel is. Instead, just call it “Bronze”— much more gangsta.

Nobody cares for a Google pixel watch. By offering discounts on the watch, you make both devices less desirable. Also, advertising trade-in money back, or even financing options is lame.

Get rid of all of these spammy specials

The best camera in the industry

Here, Google needs to go for the kill. Having witnessed the difference between the iPhone Pro and the Google pixel pro, I personally believe that the Google pixel pro photos are superior to the iPhone pro. Why is this? Google has done a intelligent job poaching the best computational photography experts from the field, computer scientist and vision experts from UC Berkeley etc.

The marketing material and language should not be meek. It needs to be more audacious, more bold. For example,

“The best camera in the industry.”

Nobody cares for a “helpful“ phone

Here, it looks like the Google, Google pixel marketing team is run by a bunch of nerds who have no idea what people really want. What do people really want? Distinction, luxury, glamour, sexiness, etc. Nobody wants nor cares for a “helpful“ phone. This concept must be axed.

More focus should be done on making people aspirationally more productive, more superhuman

Who is the type of person to want to buy a Google pixel pro phone over an iPhone pro? It needs to be somebody who is super super mega insanely caring about becoming more productive.

Photo examples from iPhone 14 Pro not impressive nor compelling.

First, become in insanely hyper health and THEN pursue art!

You got nothing to fear:

If you sense any air of resentment … they’re not real family nor friends.
