Perhaps in America, the greatest privilege we have is having the privilege of testing our limits.

What is it that Achilles lusted after? The lust of battle.

Or better yet, King Leonidas.

The most difficult thing, with a lot of things in life is figuring out just how to get started. For example, going to the gym, photography, street photography, etc.

Experience is all about just figuring out how to get started?

Just go to the gym!

So often we are afraid of getting “in trouble“, but in truth, nobody notices and nobody cares?

Theory; we humans have a deep connection with our memories and places?

For example, this is how the memory palace technique works?

The most minimal website design, the most minimal backpack, the most minimal bag, the most minimal iPhone, the most minimal camera?

Also, the most minimal car and home?

Also 100% carnivore diet — in theory the most minimal diet?

Hypelifting as the most minimal approach to fitness.

The most minimal clothing?

Literally. When I see things that I photographed in the past, I remember them more vividly.

Therefore a theory of money is towards movement.

Theory — we get pain, when we’re static and not moving?

Thus, perhaps the best way to get rid of pain is just start moving?

Also, perhaps the purpose of pain is for the body to signal and motivate us to move?

When the decision doesn’t seem obvious, delay it as long as humanly possible.

Also living innovations.

GR IIIX is still cool (mine broke), but the GR III — no longer any interest to me.

Pretty easy. Get fully cooked eggs from Whole Foods, pate, duck liver / pork liver / chicken liver mousse, or just buy ground beef and cook it at your apartment, Airbnb or home or place or residence. Or just hit up the hot food bar — 4 pounds of beef meat and beyond.

Also — for gym, just find local gyms and just rent a car, Uber there and either get day passes, week passes or even a month pass. Travel with your own liquid mini tube weight lifting chalk.

In praise of Stumptown 2X concentrate cold brew!

America as a pseudo martial society.

Every night, always try to eat a little more than you did the night prior. New food “PR’s” (personal records).

For example, going from RICOH GR IIIX to RICOH GR III seems like a huge step *BACKWARDS*.

Wu-wei productivity.

Society wants us to become meek, obedient cattle — without sex, gender. To become the perfect consumer, maximally ‘inclusive’, and no belief in rank or hierarchy. Society says–

All is equal.

And also–

All humans *should* be ‘equal’ in all merits, and any differences shall be stuck down!

What is the ultimate differentiating factor? Maximum one rep max for weight lifting, fighting (boxing, UFC), etc.

Testosterone — the differentiating factor.

Testosterone is different.

How much testosterone is *too much* testosterone?

Any testosterone you can accumulate naturally (without steroids, additional testosterone injected or added into your body), via consuming meat (beef, cholesterol) is good!

Much modern-day man looks ‘androgynous’ because they are lacking testosterone? Perhaps the cause of consuming too much of a vegetarian/vegan diet, not enough meat (beef), no weight lifting, too much time indoors, watching media, and also too much consumption of weed, alcohol?

Why? Even if you discover the ‘truth’ behind something, it still does not satisfy oneself, one is still pissed off.

Or how many pounds of burger patties can you eat in one sitting?

What is your meat PR?

Demigod bod thoughts.

Perhaps ‘the best’ no longer interests me, but what interests me instead is *different*, and more innovative?

RICOH GR IIIX as the ‘best’ camera, but … the next step… thinking — what is the most *innovative* or entrepreneurial camera? Probably iPhone Pro with LIDAR.
