Becoming Stronger
More efficient?
The aesthetics of weightlifting
Never blame people or vilify them, the only fault is their situation
Exercises good for posture
Farmer’s walk, Farmer’s carry.
The impulse to photograph
Why go hard?
Conversely, why be soft?
Planning your life around traffic seems like a good idea
The upside of saving time and staying insanely local.
Why do people want variety in food?
I think it is perhaps that people seek superficial joy and novelty in food, rather than supreme health considerations.
Use the equipment you already got
Creative exercise and workout ideas?
Creative solutions

I seek a better solution?
New fitness goals?
I just want to go to a place to show off my body?
The Pragmatics of Aesthetics?
I have a thought that aesthetics are often very practical. For example, things, spaces, and places which are aesthetically beautiful are often better for our health.
Another thought, in regards to fitness:
Some people go to the gym and lift weights and exercise and do certain exercises in order to beautify their bodies. Some people just focus on strength and power.
But the funny thing is if you are insanely strong and powerful, like ERIC KIM and the 1,000 pound atlas lift, naturally your body will become beautiful. However if you just focus on aesthetic side of bodybuilding, you often become plagued with injuries, and weaknesses. And not very strong.
Therefore, the practical advice:
Just focus on getting very very strong. Insanely strong. Demigod strong.
Zen training, Zen thinking
The upside of weightlifting at the gym
Being fast is overrated?
Better to be strong and powerful.
If the goal is for and towards body beautification, steroids make you positively look *uglier*
Heat and sweat are great stimuluses!
A big benefit of using that very very hot sauna, once my body heats up, and I start sweating, it actually wakes me up, stimulates me?
When people say they’re natural, they’re not?
Also conversely, when people joke and say they’re on steroids, they’re not!
ANTI VIRTUE
Anti virtue thinking.
The issue with virtue — when we seek virtue, we end up compromising ourselves!
THE GYM IS A CLUB
Gym as creative ideation space?
Perhaps one of the biggest upsides of to the gym, is just having the opportunity come up with creative thoughts!
Strength is the goal
Variety is good

Evolving Aesthetic Preferences

COLOR IS GREAT!
Headaches?
Headaches are a good sign; if something causes you to get a headache, stop doing it.
For example, I’m starting to realize that spray paint is very toxic. Whenever I do it, and I’m in the vicinity of spray paint, I get really bad headaches.
Also the funny thing with coffee; sometimes if you don’t have enough coffee, you have a headache. But sometimes when you drink too much coffee, you also get a headache.
I also suppose metaphorically, don’t do things or deal with things which cause you to get a headache, people who give you headaches etc.



Maybe also conversely; do things which relieve you have headaches. For example going to the gym, hot sauna, being in the wild outdoors, going to the park, fresh air and sunlight.



Secure versus unsecure
Why do people eat lunch?
Alien Aesthetic
Gloss black
Better strive to become a millionaire instead of a billionaire?
Anti-stealth
Green is the color of life and growth
Think million, not billion.
If it is good for safety, it is justified.
Quitting Reddit is better than quitting Porn?
Reddit, Instagram, email, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, social media, YouTube Netflix etc is *WORSE* than porn?
Email social media and all these things are bad because they are insanely distracting, whereas porn isn’t distracting?
*REMOVING* DISTRACTIONS.
PASSION FOR WEIGHT LIFTING
INSANELY CAUTIOUS.
Things will break!
THE BEST PLUG-INS
The best plugins are the ones which *disable* things?
ANTI MIGRATION
MAKING IT STRONGER AND BETTER THAN BEFORE?
MAN VS WOMAN
Man desires to be out and about? Woman cares less to be out and about, and doesn’t mind *as much* to stay at home?
The limits of our physiology?
For example the downside of a woman and her menstrual cycle — it does make things much much worse.
Does man have a similar thing, in regards to his mood, hormones, testosterone?
SEO IS DEAD?
NEVER DO NOTHING TO MAKE OTHERS ‘HAPPY’
Why? There will be some sort of hidden catch in the middle to long term!
