The path to real power.

The new elite class?
Who is the new elite class? Not the working class, not anyone who works a high paying tech job.
Not anybody who receives a salary. It doesn’t matter if you’re being paid $500,000 or $750,000 a year.
The real Rich; real estate developers, Hollywood producers, etc.
Maybe I should do both? Get into real estate development, and also producing Hollywood movies?
Once again, note, it is not even movie directors or actors. They are simply the scapegoats. It is the producers who have the real power.
Also in music, it is not the rappers or the musicians who have power. It is the music producers, or those who run the labels.
-
Driving a non-electric car will become the new status symbol?
Funny enough, it is not rich People Who drive ., Tesla’s. But, middle-class and upper middle-class people.
Real rich people seem to prefer to drive Mercedes AMG cars, G wagons, etc.
Or better yet, real rich people dancing to reach her about their car much. They drive old beat up civics, Honda odysseys etc.
-

Your body signals your class.
For example, middle-class people tend to be very overfat.
Also, a lot of “fake rich“ people are also not fit.
Also, people from poor working class socioeconomic status also have poor health.
But the funny question, who actually has good health?
At the gym, who is healthy? People with a tan. People who often frequent the beach actually look pretty healthy.
For men, at the gym the men with very strong legs, very thick and muscular legs look healthy.
For women, also women with strong legs and buttocks looks strong and healthy.
Theory; people with strong and muscular legs look most healthy?
Or in other words, every day is leg day!
-
100% carnivore diet is supreme
No “ketoâ€.
You cannot fake 100% carnivore. There is no such thing as fake meat.
So what is the best type of meat to eat? Typically organ meats, beef heart, beef liver, beef kidney, beef large intestine etc.
-
What resources do you want access to?
For me, meat. Also, gym. Also, sunlight.
-
Calories don’t count
For example, 1000 cal of eating Twinkies will result in the difference between eating 1000 cal of beef liver.
Or, consuming 1000 cal of white sugar is different than consuming 1000 cal of beef heart.
Also, the reason why all these “0 cal“ sweeteners are so pernicious is that they still make you fat.
Coke zero makes you fat, stevia makes you fat, etc.
-
The heavier I go, the more yoga I do
Since crossing the 905 pound barrier for doing my atlas lift, in order to ensure that I don’t “hurt“ myself, I actually spend more time doing yoga, stretching, warming up, and doing mobility hip mobility and back things.
-
Indoors is bad
There should be more outdoor yoga places.
The reason why it is so funny is that the reason why there are even notions of “hot yoga“, is because traditionally in India, it is hot as fuck and humid as fuck. Therefore, it isn’t hot yoga for the sake of hot yoga, but simply, to chase what is natural outside!
-
Big and heavy cameras are bad.
Why? Because it gets in your way. also, big phones are bad too, because it also gets in your way!
Similarly speaking, bad homes are bad because they get in your way, and also, big cars are bad because it also gets in your way!
Big is bad.
-
OPPORTUNITY.
When I see empty spaces, I love it because to me, it signals opportunity!
-
The potential of hurting yourself is actually what makes things interesting
The hilarity is when people telling me all the time, be careful, you might hurt yourself, they’re kind of missing the point.
One rep max, extremely heavy weightlifting, powerlifting hypelifting demigod lifting is only interesting because there is an opportunity for a downside!
Also, the reason why it is good is that because it is “dangerous“, I can’t fuck around. I need to focus, I cannot be distracted.

The Future of Crypto
Crypto.com and the crypto.com arena — assuming that the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James, etc. will be around for a long time; so much insanely free marketing for crypto and beyond!

-
Fat?
To be swollen — initially with milk (an udder).
Theory — perhaps back in the day, it was good to be fat and to swell things. For example, if you had a cow, and it was swollen with milk, swollen utters, with also with a lot of flesh and fat, it was seen as good! To be fat and swollen was a sign of prosperity.
However in modern/day times, this has changed. In fact, being fat and swollen, having extra body fat adipose tissue is actually a sign of poorness and poverty.
-
Skinny
Skinny simply means “resembling skinâ€.
typically, the reason at least with skinny as bad because the signal is that what this week but if one is strong, then being “skinny†(thin) is a non notion.
Therefore it isn’t a notion of skin or skinniness but being frail?
-
GOOGLE IS A TRAP.
Why is Google a trap? The issue is that when thinking forward into the future, and once chat GPT, Google AI and Google bard to take over, that means, there will no longer be a need for “human content generatorsâ€.
But, I think this will be the downfall of Google. Why? Ultimately all of these AI learning models come from human beings. Once you try to take human beings out of the equation, Google AI, AI in general will just become like a snake eating its own tail. Nothing new.
-
The best camera is the camera which doesn’t get in your way
Same with clothes and perhaps lifestyle?
-
$1 trillion Market cap?
Chainlink has over a $1 trillion market cap??

-
Fuck it. Just go all in, do the foolish option and thing!
Don’t let intelligence, knowledge, wisdom getting your way!
-
Don’t be humble
Fugitive thoughts.
Game respect game.
What is being humble were indeed, a vice? Or weakness?
-
How to Get Pregnant
The hilarity is when we are younger, we try our best not to get anybody pregnant. However, once we’re older, we want to intentionally get pregnant, some people have issues.
I’m writing this from a male perspective; the best thing you could do to increase your fertility is to get your testosterone up, sleep 10 to 12 hours a night, get rid of your chronic stress, get into one rep max hypelifting, 100% percent carnivore diet, consume more cholesterol and organ meats which include beef liver, beef heart, beef large intestine.
Also, stop smoking weed, and stop consuming alcohol, both of those lower your testosterone. Also stop watching TV shows, playing video games, or series; real men do not do this.

PHYSICAL PERFECTION
I have achieved physical perfection in myself, my wife is physical perfection, and also, my son is physical perfection. Now what?
-
Hate and Greatness
Something I have been curious about, and I don’t even watch sports or basketball; why does everyone hate on LeBron James?
I think everyone hates on LeBron James because he is the best, the greatest. Maybe even the greatest of all time. He might even surpass Michael Jordan, because he is still in the game, not yet retired, and is still playing.
While Kobe Bryant was still alive, everyone would criticize him for always being injured.
Therefore the thought about greatness:
Instead of seeking to avoid being hated, or being judged or criticize, maybe, we should court it even further.
Why is this the case? Because, you will never hate or criticize or judge somebody who is small or mediocre, because they are simply not on your radar.
Then, we should we grimly smile when we are being the topic of discussion?Why? It is a signal of our greatness.
Or another words, when we are not the topic of discussion and not being criticized or judged or hated on, it is a bad sign.

The Philosophy and Art of Critical Thinking: How to Think Critically First Principles Carte Blanche
First, think carte blanche first principles. Think from scratch, don’t think like the Germans or the Japanese by analogy or iteration. Anti Kaizen thinking and approach.
Second, don’t follow traditional notions of “success“. Also, Maybe it is best for you to create your own standards of success, or just simply detach yourself from all notions of “successâ€.
Third, it seems wise to study the past. Studying past history, philosophy, ancient Greek thinking, ancient Greek literature, like the Iliad and the odyssey. Why? You realize that all these modern definition of “successâ€, are anemic at best.

Marcus Aurelius Learn from the master stoics:
-
Don’t let the bad vibes of others fuck with your vibe.
Stoic armour up!

When your wife asks you to do something, just do it.

Google is a Trap
Google is a trap. Considering that they are going all in on AI, I think that means that they want to really care to prioritize showing search results from real human beings and real Content Creators.
This means, get off of Google in YouTube while you still can!

cholesterine
Steroid is a back formation of sterol, which is also from cholesterol — cholesterine in French.
Khole in Ancient Greek.
Gall bladder — from the liver?

What did ancient Sparta look like?
Assuming we want to become the new Spartans, the question; what did ancient Sparta really look like anyways?
-
Murdered out body
The funny thing is that it seems en vogue to have a “murdered out†car, which means, a black on black on black on black on black car.
However, maybe it might be more effective instead to think, having a “murdered out“ body?
One of the great things about the body is that it is democratic, which means, anyone and everybody can achieve a phenomenal physique, assuming one lifts heavy weights, intermittent fasting, 100% carnivore diet.

HOW TO THINK

-
MEDIA IS FOR THE POOR?
In America, we seem to bemoan the fact that so many people “waste“ time watching TV, YouTube, streaming services, etc. However what I have discovered is this: it seems to be a class issue. For example, if you are poor or middle class, maybe even upper middle class, media is an effective way for poor people to entertain themselves. If you were really rich, you wouldn’t be sedentary in front of a screen. Instead you would be doing something physically active.

Genetic Fatalism
The reason I don’t believe in “geneticsâ€â€”
People fall into genetic fatalism — oh it’s just because my genes are XYZ I cannot do ABC.
No.
Genes got nothing to do with nothing.
“Genetics†in bodybuilding as a farce — it’s just all steroids at the end of the day for these weirdos.
