In physiological matters, perhaps not.

The greatest response of strength.

Stay away from ugly people, both physical and metaphorical.

The goal is to become more titan-like, more titanic.

also, this is how cruises can be hilariously good too. Be on top of the top deck of a cruise ship, panoramic looking into the ocean is good for your eyes and brain.

Also, I really like the metaphorical notion of the ocean, water and waves.

Just use your common sense and judgement.

We got feminism, but we don’t have the opposite, “masculinism”?

Conversely, is it considered bad to be a “hyper feminine”?

MODEL S IS PERFECT:

Your photo assignment is to simply photograph yourself. Try to shoot an artistic selfie of yourself, topless, flexing.

Bacon, thinly sliced pork belly, or thinly sliced pork rib meat. Also Chicharrón.

In the early days, bone marrow in a spoon.

Pain reminds you that you’re alive!

I have zero qualms about alcohol from a moralistic perspective, but the big downside of alcohol is that a lower your testosterone, and is therefore bad for your health.

Especially for Asian men, maybe of east Asian descent, if they turn red, it is not good for them

Things which REDUCE your testosterone?

If we want to go more compact, what is more compact and Rico GR 3X? The only thing I could think of is maybe the Sony RX Mark seven, or iPhone pro?

The simple things: first, one rep max lifting at the gym, atlas lift and rack pull. Also, increase organ meat consumption, beef liver, beef heart, beef large intestine. Also sleep, 8 to 12 hours a night. Also, stop smoking weed and alcohol consumption.

For example, with our cameras, cars, homes etc., the goal isn’t bigger or more space, but instead, more compact.

I believe this design methodology could also be applied to websites, user interface and user experience, etc.

A thought:

In modern day life, is it best to interact and engage and strategize in ways which avoid conflict, or maybe… Is it more virtuous to actively seek conflict?

Why is modern day man so mad? Some thoughts:

First of all, modern day man has no arena to release his testosterone, fury or power. Solution: one rep max at the gym.

Second, modern day man is diseased. Too much time indoors, not enough time outdoors, not enough sun exposure, etc.

Perhaps one of the best ways to quickly look through and scan through your photos and look at them through insanely small thumbnails, on iPad.

For example, shooting you photos, processing your photos, sharing and publishing new photos.

Also with media, creating new media, creating new videos, creating new music, etc.

For example at the gym, never do more than one repetition.
