I have often been commented as being “antsy”, but perhaps this is a good thing. Why? My penchant to move is what drives me.

My critique of traditional Silicon Valley thinking is that with enough “willpower”, and “force of will”, one can simply be trapped inside an enclosed space and somehow be “productive”. I think this is false. One must be out, and in the direct elements in order to be productive.

Go to where no laptop will dare to go

A very simple thought: in order to become more productive, one must spend the least amount of possible time indoors. One must maximize your time in the direct sun, in the direct elements, topless etc.

Also, I see a great future ahead of us in terms of productivity, in terms of doing work when you’re out and about, at the local coffee shop, Wi-Fi, iPad Pro, even iPhone. The more I think about it, having a laptop is bad; Any sort of device which promotes sitting and being stationary is bad.

The talk I just gave in Hanoi, re recorded:

Notorious, this refers to your name. Essentially the goal is to become more name or the, that is, people start remembering your name, namely your first and last.

Anything you can do to augment the knowledge of your name, the better.

When people tell you to “be careful”, consider it a good sign, a sign that you’re on the right and interesting and virtuous path.

How to become stronger

Seneca coffee

I thought: disregard others, just stay focused on your own goals. This is the best way for everyone to thrive.

Also by focusing on your own self, your own health, everything will become supreme.

Self-Motivated

Stay focused.

Just do it all on iPhone?

iPhone photos ain’t perfect, but the process is sooo much faster and more efficient?

Insanely great health

Generative versus degenerative culture?

Being outdoors is better for your health?

Don’t let others kill your vibe.

Street life is the best life

Attitude.

Don’t move on until you’ve extracted the maximum out of it.

Also, are you tolerant of the fact that other people can have different ethics than you?

Tolerant versus intolerant people:

Expand your muscles, presence, power influence authority, reach, space etc.

Life is all about expansion!

Then what? For what ends?

Don’t “force” yourself to work or be “productive”— better to maybe “force” yourself to jump in bed early and close and cover your eyes?

See more abstractly, to see more like an artist.

Physiology theories

If you eat a godlike, demigod like amount of beef and can lift like a demigod, certainly won’t your physiology be “power overwhelming”?

Similarly speaking, your camera must also maximize your physiology and physical prowess!

The man’s lust for ever more power!

CHAOS IS GOOD.

Chaos as the supreme stimulant for us!

An issue with physics:

If your bag has limited space, then having a camera which is even a little bit too big is not good.

Greater Ambitions

A million dollars of game?

I don’t got nobody to impress

Always talk to people as if you have already met them before in the past!

Things which annoy you are a good stimulus.

Openly defiant

SEEK MORE POWER

I like the way it shows up in photos 

I hate being stuck in a car. I’d prefer to be out walking on the streets!

Lean is the new sexy 

Shapes are interesting.

It is not necessarily more “happiness” we seek in life, but greater health.

Vigor

To me, to gain “greater health” means to gain more vigor. More power, more chutzpah and desire for movement, more energy, more liveliness.

Will it give you more vigor or not?

Then perhaps the thing to optimize for is,

Will it give you more vigor or not?

If yes, it is good. If it doesn’t give you more vigor, disregard.

GRIP IS CRITICAL.

Perhaps grippy phone cases are a good idea!

Always be open minded.

I am always ready to change my mind, if I truly believe now differently.

Consistent thinking is bad.

Why take over?

Great health for the sake of what?

When should you wear a mask, when not to? I say always just have a face mask in your front left pocket, ready whenever. Just put it on when you feel like, just take it off when you feel like.

Never peg yourself to anything.

Don’t just choose one.

The hidden link between health, physiology, and photography:

Without health, nothing is worth it.

Life is a visual journey?

The secret to never running out of inspiration:

Dark, indoors, claustrophobic.
