Bad anger is the type of anger which gives you a headache literally?

The deciding factor:

This place rocks:

Rather cultivate your own ethos, ethics, aesthetics, path, philosophy, technique — your own new Stoicism.

Follow the old school, Stoic.

Speech Nazis?

It seems that for a lot of people, the point of life is money, capital accumulation, productivity etc. But why if we took a Spartan approach; at the point of life was actually in fact physicality?

For me, my favorite was actually seeing the Tesla exhibit on the first floor!

It seems for Sen, he is most engaged and energized and excited when he is at a really really really big playground. With lots of room to roam explore and discover.

Towards the really really big open world concept; maybe the same thing is for us adults; we hate feeling trapped and cramped? Similarly speaking, we need a very very big arena to play?

It would be good and useful for everybody to become more muscular?

Muscle wear?

Is you dumb?

Feeble or not?

just observe what they really do

car fascination

Original Vision ?

How much dollars in materials does it cost to build?

The logic of no regrets

Becoming self driven — only pursue that which you’re personally interested in.

Apparently there are 80+ global currencies … perhaps Bitcoin can become the future dominant global currency?

Anti tedium.

For example, legacy technology is bad.

Anti Natural?

The reason nobody respects enlisting in the Air Force?

“Never say no more than once if you really mean it.” – NASSIM TALEB

Steve Jobs vibes.

Why is modern day man so emo (emotional)?

Kidder news thoughts:

iPad Pro is good for productivity.

Look at the driver not the car

Outdoor versus indoor art?

How to walk better

Don’t lease anything.

Don’t own anything; just own yourself

Great photography?

---

Goals?

What are some personal life goals you have for yourself?

walk with swagger.

---

SWAGGER.

---

Better solutions?

What am I seeking? Better solutions.

---

Ford fiesta is a very good car

---

How long do you really want to last?

It seems that I don’t think people really want things to last that long. Why? We are always looking for an excuse to “upgrade”, to something else or something “better”.

---

Being outdoors is better for your health?

The zen of walking

Why are artists so weak?

Why do we feel like we need to want to quantify everything?
For example, why do we seem to need to quantify how many miles we run, how many miles we bike etc.?

Artistic development

Designers are out?

Something funny I have noticed; it seems that ever since Joni Ive left Apple, being a designer is no longer a desired attribute and trait?

What is the new trend? AI.

is AI a fad?

I don’t think so. Apparently you could even use AI to design websites and blogs and WordPress?

What is the future? I think the best way to think about AI is just like Siri or voice dictation; for the most part it is pretty stupid, but if humans could intelligently leverage it well then, it could increase our productivity.

.

Bigger is worse.

Honest thoughts:

White Prius plug-in prime?

For example, this insidious over concern about sunblock, UV rays, etc.

Even a more weird concept; “melanin protection”;

Fun or not fun? Anti tedious.

Kanye and James Turrell in a car together? Maybe artists just get other artists.

Moving forward, maybe it is just easiest and most direct to just self identify yourself as an artist.

Being frugal as positively *BAD* for innovation?

The secret:

Use *MORE* resources?

Why I love the MacBook Pro Touch Bar so much;

A hybrid of a touch screen (iPad or something else), and a laptop?

Using the Touch Bar to quickly scroll through and scrub a video– insanely intuitive and fluid and fun and useful?
