STRONG PASSION.

It seems one of the best ways to live life is to pursue strong passion; that is, only things which you have a strong passion for. Let everything else fall to the wayside.

For example, my passion for work!

If you really want to be the best entrepreneur possible, it seems that the best strategy is to not drink alcohol

Step one: question all of the requirements

Delete delete delete

“Delete them”

Often times, just doing them manually, not automated is better.

Introduce automation at the very very end

Factory settings are always idiotic.

Set to 100, then dial back. 70%

Question every tiny detail!

What’s slowing down the line?

When in doubt, delete ***

Remove all the unnecessary machines!

“Go or stay?”

Build a massive tent!

Makeshift solutions ***

Unconventional thinking


Question every requirement

Delete any part of the process you can

Delete more!

Simplify and optimize

Accelerate cycle time

You cannot change attitude

The only rules are rules of physics— everything else is a recommendation ***

What does man truly want out of women? The most beautiful men possible, to get the most beautiful children.

I need more high intensity! Thus, my ideal spaces tend to be maximally chaotic?

Being indoors is depressing

For example, it seems that childcare, daycare, “Montessori“, is all indoors and they have all these “activities” for kids. But, it is just so much more effective way to take care of lots of children at once, preventing them from getting run over by cars etc.

Builders vs Spenders?

A hilarity is that it seems that people don’t get it; everyone wants to become a billionaire, because they desire to spend a billion dollars. However on the contrary, real billionaires have become billionaires because they are focused on building, creating new things and value, and actually are very frugal.

The cheapest solution possible?

Contrary to popular prejudice; it seems that true in innovation happens when entrepreneurs are very scrappy, and know how to cut cost and money.

For example, reading the biography on Elon Musk by Walter Isaacson, the greatest thing that I’ve learned and gleaned is how in fact, Elon Musk is insanely scrappy, and also insanely good at cutting costs and challenging basic cost of things. For example, instead of spending $1 million in a part, for one of the SpaceX rockets, he simply gets an engineer to scrappily use a similar part either in the automotive industry or a home appliance to do it for $1000!

Therefore, I think a basic thing we could consider is that rather than always trying to get the most expensive thing for the thing, first try the cheapest solution possible, and then work our way up from there. Or if things seem too expensive, just figure out how you can build it yourself!

The powerful and the powerless

The powerful often use physical force, their domineering force, their aggression for power.

The powerless often use things like “morals”, “ethics”, “respect”, “rationality“, “logic”, “reasoning”, “guilt”, “shame” as their weapons. Or self flagellation. Any person who has ever used self-flagellation as a technique to punish the other is truly sick and diseased.

True Passion?

What are your true passions, without the pressure of society or others?

I think what society tells you that ultimately your passion should be money, accumulation of more money, and to purchase XYZ.

Therefore our personal aim is to challenge the “should”.

Revealed Reality

We often say that we like and prefer XYZ, but in revealed reality, what is it that we truly desire and prefer?

For example myself, my extreme preference for the sun, and direct light. Waking up in a hotel room with floor to ceiling windows, and the light directly shining in is pure bliss for me — directly on me!

“True Entrepreneurs”?

Reading the Elon Musk biography by Walter Isaacson, thinking about Steve Jobs, Kanye West, etc., it seems that all true innovators and entrepreneurs ultimately should almost be like single monks. To be like some sort of entrepreneurial priests.

Why? Their work must consume them, and in order to innovate to a large degree, one must not have any personal relationships.

For myself, I prize my relationships too much. With Cindy, and now Seneca. Then perhaps what I do is something different;

Writing “Style”?

There’s no such thing as “good writing”, or “bad writing”. To me, the only things which matters is whether it is direct, honest, and interesting.

For example, I really enjoyed the writing of Walter Isaacson, especially in his new Elon Musk biography. It is personal, tight, and also very cross pollinating to one of my idols, Steve Jobs.

What I like about Walter Isaacson is that he also puts in parentheses things to note, or things to note for the future of the book directly to the reader.
