Some people when they see you happy, joyful and jubilant, and they are themselves miserable, they want you to not be happy and jubilant?

One of my insane dissatisfaction with my iPhone SE is that for some reason, when I screenshot or download or save an image, it does not instantly up here in my recent’s Apple photos screen option. Why this lag?

The interesting thing when observing and studying the Farnese Hercules, his insanely muscular neck and traps. You even see the vein!

Also the insanely muscular calves— just look at the vein going through his calves into his feet!

This is my impetus to going to the gym for a one rep max? Also to be around other men and women?

A funny thing that I’ve learned at the gym; technically the most genuine people to be attracted to are the individuals who started off, in which you thought they were antagonistic to you, but in actuality, they actually admire you.

For example this one guy at the gym, at first he pissed me off when he started to randomly say something to me, but then seeing him another month or two later, I actually realize in fact, he was a hidden fan of me.

All men are trying to become more dominant and masculine. How much of it are you doing for yourself versus impressing others?

Minimalism is a flex.

For example, better to ask people if they are French, then something else.

The iPhone is very very useful to sync your notes, also voice dictation, also FaceTime.

Also, IA writer, and syncing via iCloud.

Also, to use one handed. Still then— iPhone SE or Mini is best.

The iPhone with the least weight and footprint is best!

A thought while driving; if I could externalize my own ego, my own notion of self into a car, what would it be or look like?

This is why I think the car that you drive or own, or a car that you purchased with your own money, or are currently leasing says so much about you; why? These things matter. Often people externalize their own ego, their own idealized ego and self into our car or automobile, because they lack the courage to actually play the part in real life, in embodied reality.

Lady fortune favors the strong, the brave, the insanely audacious and brave.

Why all this anti Google, anti Amazon nonsense?

Assuming that iPhone is not the future for photography, what is the point of iPhone?

Even the hilarity is that my friends who work at Apple and the people I know at Apple, they don’t even use iPhone for photography. They use Leica M, Leica SL, Ricoh GR, Sony A7-series, Hasselblad digital medium format, film cameras, even Olympus!

“Revealed preferences” or “true preferences”—

My Bitcoin (interim) price target.

‘Unruffled’ feathers. Also, the stoic sage is *unable* to be offended? Inoffensible?

For example my rack pulls… at this point (820 pounds), a lot of it is technique:

In which direction to pull the weight, to successfully lift it off the rack (safety pins) even half an inch!

Also, the technique of using your legs!

YOU ARE THE INNOVATOR!

1. When you can.
2. If you have the option, preferably sometime in late afternoon and evening, when your strength peaks! I am weaker in the morning.

The world is yours!

A good way to kill time?

Why? A life devoid of the bad would have no good.

The attempt is what counts:

Time to start importing and exporting this stuff! Hadong-gun

What is your own ideal physique for yourself?

Something I’ve learned about lifting, it ain’t really about whether you can successfully lift it or not, but rather, the strength and intensity in which you pull it.

Or “credentials“?

For example, the quality of your thoughts and thinking will be different if you’re in a space with 100 foot ceilings versus 5 foot ceilings.

Also, your thoughts and feelings are different when you’re in a space with floor to ceiling windows, with insane amounts of natural light versus being in a dark dungeon, with ugly green fluorescent lighting.

For a long time, I was very curious why there was a certain “look“, to weight lifters, bodybuilders, or powerlifters; it seems that the trend is if one wants to be perceived as a “serious“ weightlifter, one must use the wraps, a weightlifting belt, wrist wraps, and other paraphernalia.

Perhaps the reason why people are so confused by me, and how insanely strong I am is because I do not look the part.

Nassim Taleb said something very very funny in antifragile; better to trust the surgeon who looks like a butcher, rather than the surgeon in the lab coat. Peter Thiel said something similar; better to trust a businessman entrepreneur who wears a T-shirt and jeans, rather than the empty suit who wears a full on suit and tie.

Why? The individual with real potency, capability and skills who doesn’t look the part, but can still do the thing is probably more effective and shows some sort of deep mastery.

For example, it seems that at least for women who want to be perceived as “serious and committed“ yogis, they must wear Lululemon — the legging tights etc.

Or also how people are insanely confused seeing me doing such epic yoga poses, and then proceeding to lift over nine plates on the squat rack!

Also, maybe this is why there is a trend in rap and rap music to “look“ like a rapper, which means having lots of tattoos, fancy chains and jewelry, etc. It is difficult to imagine a rapper who doesn’t look like a rapper.

A lot of exercises in the realm of fitness; it looks flashy, and looks good, but it isn’t effective? For example, battle ropes.

Fit? Fitness? Possibly from “an adversary of equal power”.

Then the question; what is it that we seek out of fitness? Assuming that the notion of fitness comes from fit, and assuming that fit means an adversary of equal power, are we simply training ourselves in order to fight and combat our “adversaries”?

What if you do not see anyone else as your adversary, and also, you don’t see anyone else as having equal power to you?

Then, is the goal to go out and seek ever more powerful adversaries? Maybe.

Take your sweet f’ing time!

The greatest leisure in life is being unrushed, unhurried, taking your sweet sweet time!

The ironic lesson; trying to force yourself to be productive, you are actually less productive.

Going to the gym to think.

One of the greatest benefits to going to the gym, the public gym, is that I think the space is very conducive to thinking, and fleshing out your thoughts.

For example, when women show off their body parts publicly at the gym, why do they do it?

There tends to be this antagonism against women, but I believe this antagonism should be towards both men and woman!

Never seek to impress her. Also should men seek to impress other men? No.

Rather, just seek to impress yourself! Amaze yourself!
