Here at Selinus these men, who tyranny strove to extinguish, Brazen-clad Ares laid low; nigh to our gates were they slain.

He used to say that the young men were the walls of Sparta, and the points of their spears its boundaries.46

Short daggers in war: in order to get close to the enemy

In answer to the Athenian who called the Spartans unlearned, he said, “At any rate we are the only people who have learned no evil from you.

ANDROCLEIDAS 37
Androcleidas the Spartan, who had a crippled leg, enrolled himself among the fighting- men. And when some persons were insistent that he be not accepted because he was crip- pled, he said, “But I do not have to run away, but to stay where I am when I fight the opposing foe.”38

Venture boldly into danger —

Have regard for life but don’t be timid about it!

When another person asked why the Spartans, in their wars, ventured boldly into danger, he said, “Because we train ourselves to have regard for life and not, like others, to be timid about it.”

When someone inquired why they put their fields in the hands of the Helots, and did not take care of them themselves, he said, “It was by not taking care of the fields, but of ourselves, that we acquired those fields.”

How to remain a free man your whole life

Do we grow better or remain approximately the same?

17 When one of the elderly men said to him in his old age, inasmuch as he saw the good
old customs falling into desuetude, and other mischievous practices creeping in, that for
this reason everything was getting to be topsy-turvy in Sparta, Agis said humorously,
“Things are then but following a logical course if that is what is happening; for when
I was a boy, I used to hear from my father that everything was topsy-turvy among them;
p293
ought to be surprised if conditions later are worse than those earlier, but rather to wonder if they grow better or remain approximately the same.”21
18 Being asked how one could be a free man all his life, he sa

Power and money

When someone brought forward a plan for the freedom of the Greeks, which, while not lacking idealism, was difficult to put into practice, he said, “Your words, my friend, need the backing of power and money.”17

As he was going about among the walls of the Corinthians and observed that they were high and towering and vast in extent, he said, “What women live in that place?”

Don’t be womanly

Bravery … stand your ground

because of bravery stand their ground?”

When someone inquired how many Spartans there were, he said, “Enough to keep all
bad men away.”11

And also knowledge on how to be ruled?

Thinking more hardcore —

Also never be tied down to past ideas, goals, ideals …

No slave to the past — your past.

My vision:

also I facking hate lag!

Oh yeeeee boyyyyeeee

Eugh, some of these losers who write stuff,,

How can you expect to take care of others if you yourself are languishing?

The uber critical mistake we make —

We think indoors, instead of being outdoors.

How can Americans rally together?

1. Mandatory football, American football, wrestling, javelin toss, shot put, long jump, ROTC training, Boy Scouts, thing?
2. Less focus on race in America,,, more emphasis that Iran, Russia, China are the bad guys and we gotta band together to fight and ward them off, to support freedom in America.
3. Mandatory military training for both men and women? Just like ancient Sparta?

How can Americans rally together?

CENTCOM stands for United States Central Command. It is one of eleven unified combatant commands of the U.S. Department of Defense. CENTCOM is responsible for American military operations in a region that spans the Middle East, parts of North Africa, and Central Asia, including countries like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The command plays a crucial role in directing and coordinating military operations against terrorism, supporting stability and security efforts, and promoting cooperation among nations within its area of responsibility. Its main goals include deterring aggression, ensuring maritime security in key waterways, and supporting efforts to defeat terrorist organizations.

Iran is the bad guy? Not even Russia?

Also, China. Anti China.

Centcom provides strategic depth to the defense of the U.S. homeland, he said. “American security and prosperity are at risk if we cede this space to Iran, terrorism and China.” 

Ok ,,, genetically I am Korean, Korean-American … genetic lineage from South Korea (Seoul from my father’s side, Busan from my mom’s side)— but culturally, I’m probably 99% American. Essentially I’m American, and I happen to know how to speak Korean and I look Korean.

I am tall

Did you know the average American male man is only 5 foot 7, 5 foot 8 in America? I’m around 5 foot 11– 182 centimeters.

Who has the “best” culture

1. America has the best music, the best fashion, the best culture, the best bodybuilding thoughts, the best movies, tv shows, media culture cinema etc.
2. America also has the best rappers, singers, performers, personalities, celebrities, beautiful people, podcasters, innovators etc.

American is a mindset

I believe you can live in Cuba and embody the American, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Kanye West, ERIC KIM mindset. To me it is about chutzpah, audacity, recklessness, love of risk, etc.

What is America poor at?

True American patriots don’t care for money

Anyone who does business with Iran, oil or cares to enriched themselves ain’t a true American.

Iran exploited what they saw as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the Middle East to its advantage, using its proxies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank and Yemen, he said.  (Defense.gov)

Also—

Iran has also developed a full-scale production pipeline for supplying weapons to Russia, fueling its war on Ukraine.

Why be ashamed of being you?

Why happiness? There is no downside to being happy —

1. Pure joy

1. Don’t drive for more than 5 minutes a day
2. Never be stuck indoors
3. Go to the park, nature reserve, hiking at least once a day (Baldwin hills steps, Kenneth Hanh national park, Stoneview Nature center etc)
4. If you gotta drive and commute somewhere,,, always avoid peak rush hour traffic. In and out quickly before 2:30pm to NOT get murdered by traffic.
5. Eye contact smile and chat with people — no headphones on, no sunglasses on, no facial hair, no mustache, no beard, no flannel no loose frumpy clothes, no tints in or on your car.

We new modern day barbarians shall run and rule the planet!

1. Less clothes
2. More barefoot
3. More time outdoors
4. More ratchet, less PC, more outspoken, happier.
5. More joyful, more bad. More cruel with a good conscience — in the spirit of fun and play

All glass everything? Also — easy to quickly step out or go onto patio into direct sun and light?

I wonder how much of modern day misery can simply be attributed to the fact that man spends too much time indoors ,,, not outside in the direct sun or light?

Critique of modern day times —

The mole people run the show?

Always out in the real world — outside!

Because I love design!

With the satin black wrap!

Satin stealth black —

Everyone could buy the newest iPhone with the strongest most powerful processor, everyone can also purchase a Tesla model S plaid, with over 1000 thousand horsepower.

But a unique strength; not everybody could lift 1000 pounds.

Being free — freedom
