Risk— rischiare— to jeopardize, to rush into danger?
Interesting; when studying this, it seems that the notion of risk may be a modern day one, as it only goes back to the old Italian. It doesn’t seem to go back to the ancient Roman or Greek.
Don’t ask nobody for nothing.
Perhaps at the end of the day, novel innovation is what I love and care for the most!
Not being a fool!

I think right now a lot of concerns about internet privacy have to do with tracking, etc. But for me ultimately, the more critical thing is about annoyance, distractions, roadblocks, barriers, “if I get a new phoneâ€notificationsâ€, or distractions.
“Do not disturbâ€! I don’t want to be disturbed, or off-railed when I’m focusing insanely hard on something!

The end or wisdom of money?
First thought, money as capital towards interesting entrepreneurial endeavors?
When your leverage is no longer strong enough!
That is, physical therapy *is* ‘mental’ therapy.
I prefer 80/20 or 75/25.
Perhaps the best way to deal with the ‘bad’ stuff in life, just make it morosely entertaining for yourself!

Become invincible:

Learn from the master stoics:
Critical, kritikos, means to judge.
To think critically means to wisely judge things, whether you deem it fit or not.
Or, judge it as being profitable or not, or advantageous or not.
There is no such thing as good or bad, or evil. To me it all comes down to wise or foolish.
What is foolish, foolishness, foolish behavior? Typically things which can cause permanent bodily mutilation, or a traumatic death. Driving fast, racing, texting while driving, drinking while driving or being high while driving etc.
A life of pure theory divorced from action seems a bit flaccid. I believe that your thoughts should also be in accordance with your actions.
For example, my thoughts or philosophies on fitness and weightlifting; I actually apply it to my own approach, and my thoughts and thinking often come to me after much experimentation.
Action first, thoughts later.
Rather, the goal is to become a solo thinker:
The 2X rule; only buy it if you could afford two of them, in straight cash.
This is where it is a bad idea to identify too strongly with any school of thought; because ultimately you’re going to just become another follower in a slave of it. Better instead to just be a solo individual. For example, Nietzsche, Plato, Socrates etc.
Why fitness, what is the point of fitness?
One mega critique I have is people who I call “form Nazis“; that is, they put too much attention into “form“. There’s no such thing as form. Instead, I call it leverage.
The purpose of leverage; moving more weight!
I think for men, the goal behind fitness is towards dominance, going beyond. Maybe for women it is towards beautification.
At the gym, the most dominant person isn’t the biggest, the most muscular or the buffest, instead it is the strongest. The strongest person at the gym is the most dominant.
Street fitness?

How does one master street photography? Some thoughts:
I don’t think it’s a good idea to draw a fine line between “street photography“, and other forms of photography.


































Why is this such a critical distinction? Because I think the street photography approach is like a muscle; the more we practice it in our every day lives, every day, all day, the quicker our reaction times, compositional skills, and way we can see.
I don’t think you could really do street photography inside your house. Somethings that I like to do is still shoot street photography style inside my house, but ultimately you’re going to be more stimulated being out and about in society.
What is a street photographer? In my mind, a street photographer is like a visual sociologist of the streets. Visual sociology.

A theory towards modern day times; people who take too much drugs, smoke too much weed, drink too much alcohol, etc.… What are they doing to themselves and their body? There’s slowly but surely killing themselves!
When your leverage is no longer enough.
Perhaps the only good types of weightlifting are the ones in which you actually lift the weights, while standing up. Not while lying on your back or some other strange position?
This means that all pressing motions are out. No bench press, Shoulder press, military press, etc. No “press – ups†as the Brits call it.
A concept I learned from Cindy; comportment. How one holds and carries their body, how one uses or doesn’t use physical space etc.
For example, a very simple idea. Please don’t stand up straight, shoulders back, chin up. Maybe having some sort of basic military or ROTC program in K-12 education is a good idea?
Boy Scouts, now that I think about it, almost kind of like a pseudo-military general training program. How to lead, how to set a good example, strong virtues.
They are infectious!
