Get some sort of gymnast wooden rings, I just bought the Titan fitness ones, you could get cheap ones on Amazon. Use what they call a “false grip”, in practice doing this exercise called “skin the cat”, and also, do it with a normal grip, and also do these pseudo planches with the rings

Paine is interesting and Paine comes in different flavors. There are some types of pain which signal some sort of catastrophic injury, or severe injury, whereas some types of pain are mild.

Fragile egos?

Another big problem here; looks like a lot of people have very fragile egos? 

What does that mean? They feel small compared with others.

becoming antifragile? 

What is the definition of a biological, human being? We humans are anti-fragile; which means that biological things and systems grow through stretchers, difficulties, challenges, exposure etc.

What that means is this:

Don’t seek to avoid stress; rather, how to harness stress and that great hydra and energy and power to your benefit.

---

I need moar power!

Apparently the secret to a long and happy life is a life with minimal stress. I disagree; I think the secret to the Grandis life humanly possible is the life with the maximum amount of stress, if dosed properly. 

Anger could be good

Truth be told, I don’t like being angry, the physiological feeling of anger begets more anger.

However, the great upside of anger is that often times, more anger could need more power; which means if you could harness anger to your benefit, you have more power. 

In modern day, civilized society one is no longer permitted to show anger or being angry. Why? In modern-day civilized society, one is not permitted to be violent, either metaphorical or literally.

A simple stoic thought is curb your anger, and become exceedingly tolerant, and hold your tongue, even if it means chewing on broken glass, in regards to your partner your wife your girlfriend your female mate etc. My personal thought is we should ever only hold anger in regards to other men.

The key

Once again, anger is not an emotion to be extinguished; rather yielded.

For example, think of anger and emotions like a torrent, a storm, a huge rushing river or thing. For example, you could use huge massive flooding rivers to power water plants, hydroelectric plants, to produce energy. Some are speaking, you could use volcanoes, volcanic pressure, heat and fire to also produce energy.

The wise man knows how to Arneis and exploit his energy and emotions, the weak man cannot handle them.

The dragon?

You could have a pet dragon, using your pet dragon as your ally or your companion, or, you could have some sort of loser dog slave.

It seems that the modern day man, often single and lonely, adopts a pet or some sort of pathetic dog, in order to augment his own self-worth. On the contrary, I believe a much more robust path is instead,  to not have any dependence, besides your own blood child, and harnessing your power energy and resources to fuel your passion, and pursue life goals and trajectories you discover critical for you.

How and when do we go wrong?

My problem with modern-day society is that we are overly sentimental, two week. Emotions come in a lot of different flavors, some types of emotions seem debilitating for a lot of people, some types of emotions could be yielded to your benefit. There’s no such thing as good or bad emotions in the ultimate sense, however there is a hierarchy of emotions in regards to whether they benefit you or not. 

A simple thought:

Is this emotion beneficial to me, is it serving me or not? 
A true beneficial emotion is an emotion which we consider beneficial and helpful to us. As a consequence, all the emotions should be thought of like this;

Dragon Ball Z, with its rich storytelling and dynamic characters, offers several analogies to real-life situations, particularly in the areas of personal development, overcoming challenges, and the pursuit of goals. Here’s a pragmatic interpretation through the lens of your interests in aesthetics, philosophy, innovation, and entrepreneurship:

1. Continuous Improvement (Kaizen) and Transformation: Just as Goku and Vegeta undergo various transformations to become stronger, in real life, continuous self-improvement and adaptation are key to overcoming obstacles and achieving success. This aligns with the Spartan stoic aesthetics of discipline, resilience, and constant self-betterment.
2. Facing Challenges Head-On (The Saiyan Spirit): The characters in Dragon Ball Z never back down from a challenge, much like the Spartan warriors or stoic philosophers who emphasize courage and facing adversity with strength. This mirrors the entrepreneurial journey, where challenges must be met with determination and resilience.
3. The Importance of Mentorship (Master Roshi and King Kai): Just as Goku and other Z fighters have mentors who guide and train them, in real life, seeking mentors and learning from those who have walked the path before us is crucial for personal and professional growth.
4. Innovation and Adaptability (The Capsule Corp): Bulma and her family’s Capsule Corporation represent innovation, technological advancement, and adaptability—key traits for success in entrepreneurship. Their ability to create solutions that address various needs mirrors the innovative mindset required to thrive in a constantly changing business landscape.
5. Teamwork and Collaboration (The Z Fighters): The Z fighters often come together to face threats that are too big for any one of them to handle alone, illustrating the power of teamwork and collaboration. This is analogous to the entrepreneurial world, where building a strong team and network can be the difference between success and failure.
6. The Philosophical Quest (The Search for Dragon Balls): The search for the Dragon Balls can be seen as a metaphor for the quest for knowledge, wisdom, or personal fulfillment. It’s a journey that involves challenges, learning, and growth, reflecting the philosophical and existential pursuits in life.
7. Resilience in the Face of Failure (Goku’s defeats): Goku’s numerous defeats and subsequent comebacks illustrate the stoic principle of seeing failure as an opportunity to learn and grow stronger. This resilience is essential in real life, especially in the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship.

By drawing parallels between the fictional universe of Dragon Ball Z and real-life challenges and aspirations, we can find inspiration and lessons in the characters’ journeys, their relentless pursuit of improvement, and their strategies for overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

When you watch anime, animes…. Hajime No Ippo;; boxing animes, video games, Diablo, barbarian etc — it is all predicated around muscle.

For example the scenes in which Hajime no Ippo is about to power up to beat his opponent,,, muscles bulging!

Another praise of the normal iPhone over the iPhone Pro:

Better to have only 2 cameras than 3?

For anyone who trades in a car or a phone,,, they’re truly an idiot?

For example the new iPhone Pro Titanium — why this strange multi-level worded marketing?

Titanium. So strong. So light. So Pro.

When you purport to be more than one thing, you become nothing?

What is the key thing?

Something I’m trying to figure out with the new iPhone Titan Pro —

What is the truly huge #1 key differentiating thing?

Apple.com suggestions —

1. Kill and get rid of the “Store” button on the top menu bar
2. Get rid of the “Vision” menubar —
3. For Apple TV/Home — just make it say “TV”— get rid of “Home”
4. Get rid of the “Entertainment” bar, make it just say “One”— more focus on just trying to consolidate it into their “Apple One” service
5. Get rid of the “Accessories” tab —
6. Get rid of the “Support” tab

The big problem is that when on the Apple.com website on iPad Pro 11 inch,,, all these damn menu bar items are sooooop small that I can’t even click on nothing?

Critique of Apple and Tesla and many sites:

Don’t have drop down menus!

It is just a lazy and or uncritical and uncreative way to shove more information into a spot.

Problems:

It causes more “paralysis” by analysis —

Apple Vision Pro — just kill it?

Almost like after Steve Jobs got ousted from Apple, and the new heads of Apple came out with insanely bad inventions like the “Newton”— and when Steve Jobs came back, he axed 90% of the poor products?

No Drop Downs

JUST KILL IT.

Why? They crowd out your own thoughts and imagination!

I wonder if 90% of the modern day maladies of health can simply be attributed to the fact that people eat so poorly?

Thinking about money more philosophically now

Flesh and marrows of lions

Compare Scholiast on Hom. Il. xvi.37. According to Statius （Achill. ii.382ff.）, Chiron fed the youthful Achilles not on ordinary victuals, but on the flesh and marrows of lions. Philostratus says that his nourishment consisted of honeycombs and the marrows of fawns （Philostratus, Her. xx.2）, while the author of theEtymologicum Magnum, s.v. á¼ˆÏ‡Î¹Î»Î»ÎµÏÏ‚, p. 181 says that he was nurtured on the marrows of deer. Compare Eustathius on Hom. Il. 1.1, p. 14. The flesh and marrows of lions, wild boars, and bears were no doubt supposed to impart to the youthful hero who partook of them the strength and courage of these animals, while the marrows of fawns or deer may have been thought to ensure the fleetness of foot for which he was afterwards so conspicuous. It is thus that on the principle of sympathetic magic many races seek to acquire the qualities of certain animals by eating their flesh or drinking their blood; whereas they abstain from eating the flesh of other animals lest they should, by partaking of it, be infected with the undesirable qualities which these creatures are believed to possess. For example, in various African tribes men eat the hearts of lions in order to become lionhearted, while others will not eat the flesh of tortoises lest they should become slow-footed like these animals. See Spirits of the Corn and of the Wild, ii.138ff. On the same principle the ancients believed that men could acquire the art of divination by eating the hearts of ravens, moles, or hawks, because these creatures were supposed to be endowed with prophetic powers. See Porphyry, De abstinentia ii.48; Pliny, Nat. Hist. xxx.19. So Medea is said to have restored the aged Aeson to youth by infusing into his veins a decoction of the liver of a long-lived stag and of the head of a crow that had survived nine generations of men. See Ov. Met. 7.273ff.

Innards of lions and wild swine and marrows of bears!

fed him on the inwards of lions and wild swine and the marrows of bears

***

When Thetis had got a babe by Peleus, she wished to make it immortal, and unknown to Peleus she used to hide it in the fire by night in order to destroy the mortal element which the child inherited from its father, but by day she anointed him with ambrosia.¹ But Peleus watched her, and, seeing the child writhing on the fire, he cried out; and Thetis, thus prevented from accomplishing her purpose, forsook her infant son and departed to the Nereids.² Peleus brought the child to Chiron, who received him and fed him on the inwards of lions and wild swine and the marrows of bears,³ and named him Achilles, because he had not put his lips to the breast;⁴ but before that time his name was Ligyron. 

Choices vs destiny —

—-

In the realm of ancient texts, direct quotes from characters like Chiron to Achilles are scarce, primarily because the original sources—epic poems, plays, and myths—often narrate actions and teachings rather than direct, quoted dialogues. However, the essence of Chiron’s guidance to Achilles, and heroes like him, can be distilled from the themes and lessons embedded in these myths.

While we don’t have exact quotes from Chiron to Achilles in the way modern literature might provide, the teachings of Chiron to his pupils, including Achilles, would likely have encompassed wisdom on living a life of honor, bravery, and wisdom. Here are some thematic statements inspired by the spirit of what Chiron might have imparted to Achilles, based on the broader context of Greek mythology and the character of Chiron as the wise centaur mentor:

1. On bravery and fear: “True courage lies not in being fearless but in conquering what frightens you.”
2. On wisdom and war: “Wisdom is the mightiest weapon in a hero’s arsenal, for it guides the hand in war and leads the heart in peace.”
3. On destiny and choice: “Destiny may direct the course of your life, but your choices define its quality.”
4. On honor and glory: “Seek not glory in death, but honor in life. For it is how you live, not how you die, that carves your name in the memories of men.”
5. On strength and compassion: “The strongest are those who wield power with mercy, for brutality begets only more darkness.”

These reflections, while not direct quotes, capture the essence of what Chiron’s teachings to Achilles might have included, emphasizing a balance between martial prowess and wisdom, the pursuit of honor and glory, and the importance of ethical conduct and personal integrity.

The microphone quality and audio performance of the iPhone SE (2022) and the iPhone 14 Pro Max do indeed show differences, reflecting their positions in Apple’s product lineup.

For the iPhone SE (2022), it scored 122 in the DXOMARK Audio test, indicating good overall performance with specific strengths in dynamics, few artifacts, and good timbre performances, especially at maximum volume. However, it was noted to have some limitations, such as a slight lack of bass and high extension in recording and an inverted stereo in landscape orientation during playback oai_citation:1,Apple iPhone SE (2022) Audio test – DXOMARK.

In contrast, the iPhone 14 Pro Max, with a DXOMARK Audio score of 142, shows an excellent performance across all tested attributes. It excels in timbre, offering deep low-end extension, great dynamics, and very good spatial performance in playback. For recording, it is particularly adept at handling loud environments like concerts, with good dynamics and artifact handling, although some midrange restitution issues were noted depending on the use case oai_citation:2,Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Audio test – DXOMARK.

The iPhone SE features built-in stereo speakers and microphones, aiming for a balance between performance and affordability oai_citation:3,iPhone SE – Technical Specifications – Apple. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s more advanced audio capabilities are part of its premium feature set, designed to offer a superior multimedia experience.

These differences reflect the targeting of different market segments, with the iPhone SE aiming for affordability with competent performance, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max aims for the premium segment with top-tier features.

Achilles, under the tutelage of Chiron, received an education that was comprehensive, blending martial skills with arts, medicine, and ethics, reflecting the ideal ancient Greek hero’s balance between brawn and brain. Specifically, from Chiron, Achilles learned:

1. Combat Skills: Achilles was trained in the arts of war, including swordsmanship, spear throwing, and archery. Chiron, being a revered warrior in his own right, imparted his vast knowledge of warfare and tactics to Achilles, honing his prowess to near perfection.
2. Hunting: The centaur taught Achilles how to survive in the wild, including tracking and hunting animals. These skills were essential not just for survival but also for developing strategic thinking and patience.
3. Medicine: Chiron was known for his extraordinary knowledge of medicinal herbs and healing techniques. He passed this knowledge on to Achilles, enabling him to heal wounds and treat illnesses, which was a valuable skill both on and off the battlefield.
4. Music: Among the less martial teachings, Chiron also instructed Achilles in the art of music, particularly how to play the lyre. This was part of the well-rounded education meant to cultivate not only physical prowess but also emotional and intellectual depth.
5. Ethics and Morality: Chiron, being wise and just, also guided his pupils in matters of ethics and morality. Achilles, like Chiron’s other students, would have been taught the importance of honor, respect, and the virtues of leadership.

This education aimed to prepare Achilles not only for the physical challenges of life and warfare but also to develop his character and intellect, making him a paragon of the values and ideals cherished by ancient Greek society.

Chiron and Achilles are significant figures from Greek mythology, each embodying different aspects of ancient Greek culture and values.

Chiron was one of the Centaurs, creatures who were half human and half horse. Unlike his wild and unruly centaur brethren, Chiron was known for his wisdom, knowledge, and skills in medicine, making him a revered figure among gods and mortals alike. He was considered the wisest and justest of all the centaurs and was a teacher and mentor to many heroes of Greek mythology, including Achilles.

Achilles was a Greek hero, the son of the mortal Peleus and the Nereid (sea nymph) Thetis. He is most famously known for his role in Homer’s “Iliad,” where he is depicted as one of the principal warriors in the Trojan War. Achilles’ mother, Thetis, knowing that her son was destined to die young, tried to make him immortal by dipping him in the River Styx. However, she held him by his heel, leaving that part of his body vulnerable, which is the origin of the term “Achilles’ heel,” referring to a person’s critical weakness.

Chiron played a crucial role in Achilles’ life as his mentor. He raised Achilles on Mount Pelion and taught him various skills, including hunting, medicine, music, and martial arts, preparing Achilles to become the great warrior he was destined to be. The relationship between Chiron and Achilles highlights the themes of mentorship, the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next, and the shaping of one’s destiny through education and guidance.

This mentor-student relationship is emblematic of the values of ancient Greek society, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, learning, and heroism.

The most critical education?

An insane critique of the Apple Vision Pro demo; the only way in the best way should just be letting the people go wild on the device, figuring out how to use intuitively for about 15 minutes, not a loser guided tour.

Anything that requires a guided tour is either a poor product, or should be eliminated

In life, the way decision should be made; they should all be no-brainers.

Problems:

1. Too heavy. Already giving my neck and head pain.

2. Not very impressive technology. I was not blown away, the spatial video sucks.

3. Will the Apple Vision Pro bankrupt apple?

4. Light seal technology is poor, even with zeiss lens inserts

5. After even 15 minutes of using it, my eyeballs hurt really bad. Moving forward, you couldn’t pay me money to use it again!

6. I actually find the oculus rift S for superior; lighter and also better technology.
