Who is to say what is good for us versus what is bad for us?

When to lean into the pain?

Not all pain is made alike.

For example, with mobility stuff, often when we are leaning into a certain type of mobility exercise, there is this kind of non-threatening pain, in which we feel pain from the stretching, but, it is not an injury based pain.

For example, one of the great benefits of going to a park very very high up, in which you gotta drive, is that for the most part it is inaccessible to homeless people. As a consequence, the bathrooms are 1 billion times cleaner, better maintained etc. I can actually go number two in the public parks high up, and there is actually toilet paper! And it is actually clean! Kenneth Hanh park in LA is phenomenal! And for personal reference, there is a really good calisthenics public outdoor workout park gym here. Google Map pin here. Also for your kid, this park here is lit!

Perhaps the problem about places like San Francisco is that it is too accessible, everything is pedestrian, and walkable, and as a consequence, homeless people prefer to stay there.

How do we resolve the issue of homelessness?

A little birdie told me that some places like Irvine, the cops will actually offer $100 bucks for a homeless person to leave, and just go to the next city. It sounds pretty ruthless, but perhaps the best way to get rid of homeless people in desirable areas is to just bribe them with money.

One really weird thing that I’ve observed is that why is it that so many people have this weird sort of pseudo compassion for homeless people? To me that line of thinking is very bizarre.

Why this matters

Once you get a kid, a big critical thing; you just want the bathroom, the public bathroom at a park etc. to be clean hygienic and usable. What millennials don’t get, millennials who don’t have kids that once you got a kid, it is beyond yourself.

So I have a theory; the general idea is that we need some sort of visual stimuli variety in the environment and variety in elements in order to engage us, our body, our mind, our brain and our human physiology.

Therefore as a consequence, it isn’t to just stay inside your house and force yourself to be productive, but instead, expose yourself to a productive environment and then the productivity will naturally follow up!

One of the upsides of going to the park, preferably a park really really high up, with a great view and plateau!

Or in other words, I must leave the house in order to think.

What your purchase, how you use your money time and resources says much about you.

This is why cars are interesting — the car you purchased and or acquired and drive says a lot about you, in terms of what you value.

Tell me what you drive and I’ll tell you who you are.

Also, your media consumption habits. Am I the only one I know who doesn’t watch TV, shows, movies, or even listen to music or podcasts anymore?

For myself, my great joy comes from producing media! My own media!

Self entertainment.

Where have all the free thinkers gone? The only free thinkers left probably include Nassim Taleb and Kanye West.

Essentially it is just a moneymaking conspiracy; plant-based products foods etc. are more profitable:

Something I have been learning for myself is that one of the great upsides of vlogging your thoughts is that it is a more effective medium for fleshing out your thoughts. For example, although I really do enjoy voice dictation, one of the big issues is that it is not 100% accurate, therefore as a consequence, your thoughts cannot stream as effectively.

There is this weird fake virtuosity which comes with exercise. For example, the general gist is that must be hateful, unpleasant, arduous in order for it to be effective and virtuous.

Only losers sit in traffic!

Physiology is the missing key and link:

I need stronger visual stimuli! Thought, half the fun of going to the gym is all the visual stimuli there?

One of the reasons I don’t like working out at home is that it is mostly boring.

To me with decision-making, if it is a 90% good enough solution in my eyes, just stick with it.

For example, why are we so obsessed with spending less money on everything, and also, wanting the commodity prices of things like gas and food to be less?

For example, the allure of gas stations like Arco, promising the cheapest gas, or worse, waiting in line for an hour for Costco gas.

Some more theories; I think the reason why people believe eating “too much” meat is a pseudo ethical one;

First, an economics issue. Traditionally in the past, it was very expensive, therefore, one would supplement their diet with mostly cheap grains rice etc.

The funny thing is in today’s world, meat is actually cheaper than vegetables, and adopting this nonsense “plant-based” diet is a trillion times more expensive!

For example, even with inflation, you can get ground beef for about 399 to about 499 a pound. Most people can’t even eat that much meat, you should be able to totally satisfy and feed yourself for less than five dollars a day!

Secondly, I think modern-day consumerism behavior is towards animals, getting pets dogs cats etc.

Third, pseudo virtue singling thing. That irregardless of all this stuff, it is considered to be more pure and virtuous to abstain from meat? Even in the past, there were lots of cults which made it an edict forbidding eating meat. Even the Stoic philosopher Seneca experimented with abstaining from meat, but eventually gave up his vegetarian habits because others started to suspect him up being part of a cult.

I have a theory; the reason why all of this trends towards a “plant based diet” has to do with the fact of profits, the Kelloggs corporation, grains etc.

Also, people seem like they desire some sort of new religion… they seek it in nonsensical notions of “animal rights“, and treating animals “humanely”. Don’t they realize that the word humane comes from human? An animal is not a human.

In other words, real men eat meat! And no, chicken, turkey etc. is not meat!

No no no, not Cheerios!

Media is modern day ethics and morality

Also culture.

Losers drive Porsches, winners drive Priuses!

You can see it their face and bodies!

Patience — patience: suffering, hurt? Same etymology as pati (pain, suffering)?

Theory— “patience is a virtue” as a diseased Christian notion?

Peh— to hurt. To hate!

New thought:

“Patience” as a sign of weakness?

I hate ugly visual things!!

But currently speaking it is the least worst bad thing we got?

For now …

I’m tired of this bullshit!

F Apple!

My new apartment!

Move around — the upside of being restless!

Becoming boundless!

When you no longer need to worry about or consider money … then what shall you do?

Muscle = power!

More power both for men *and* women is good!

Muscle as embodied power!

The general gist and idea:

You take care of my kid and train and teach them as I use my time and mind to make money.
