Not to see your life and lifestyle as separate things, but instead, to concurrently stack them all on top of one another.





































































Just flex it:
Understanding that life is all upside, no downside:
For example, once you got a kid, a wife, and you don’t really have an interest anymore in external women, then, what is the purpose in the point of augmenting your masculinity?
The first thought then is, what is the purpose of virtue, or augmenting or increasing or virtue? Virtue means man, virtu. Man, manliness, masculinity; all the same thing.
Toxon— bow. Originally, toxicon— poison applied to the tips of arrows?
What is interesting is that when it comes to toxic things, it is seen as university bad. However, there are some toxins in certain dosages which are actually stimulating and give us more power.
For example, coffee and tea, green tea. The caffeine in coffee and tea is a natural pesticide, a toxin to prevent predators from eating it. But this toxin and poison is actually stimulating to humans.
Keep increasing my one rep max.
Keep growing my skeletal muscles.
Keep becoming more powerful and masculine.
Share these things with others?





























Epic poetry — manly and masculine? The closest we got is rap music.
Thought —
Is there any truly manly and masculine poetry … that isn’t emo?
TURBO FLEX
For example the reason why I hate bench press so much … being dependent on a spotter! I only want to do certain lifts which don’t require me needing a spotter or someone helping me.
Any Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini (Lamborghini is a German car, as it is owned by Volkswagen), BMW, Mercedes, AMG, rolls Royce (owned by BMW) is for losers.
The greatest benefit in modern day times, living in America, etc., is the insanely great opportunity for innovation!
How does one indefinitely grow their muscles, size and mass? Very simple; just keep lifting heavier weights, keep increasing your one rep max, and every day strive to eat more meat!
Health is for the privilege and elite.
A lot of people use design, design objects, clothes, hats, sunglasses, facial hair to cover up their ugliness. What I propose instead is we should strive to become more naked.
Also, don’t wear sunglasses or a hat. And don’t tint your car. Especially the front windows! Don’t hide behind design.
The philosophy of hype.
For example, I was born in the states, yet I am Korean American. So much of my desire was to perfect my ability to speak Korean. Yet at the end of the day, whenever I go to Korea obviously people know I’m not Korean.
The funny thing is even in the states, I speak my own language and lingo. I am passionate about languages, ancient Greek and Latin, and also modern-day slang and rap music.
The morale of the story is don’t try to put yourself in any one mode of speaking.
It seems like nowadays, if you buy a new expensive car, whether it be a sports car, a performance SUV car, G wagon etc., the trend is to just get everything all black everything, murdered out.
But maybe instead, better flex to just get white instead?

The duty of the kids, not the grand-kids!
Thus, indulge all of your random interests and curiosities! Refuse to stay in a Procrustean bed of “specialization†or a box!
