CrossFit is insanely fascinating to me.

Not culture, or cult, but sociology.
Study the sociology of things. Or become the sociologist.
Maybe sociology is actually the new superior, supreme, and best major. Especially for the future. Sociology is technology for culture, society and the mind.

Creative compositions in photography— don’t zoom or use other lenses. No crop.
Prime, non zoom lens as best. Don’t zoom in.
-
White *and* black is the color of modernity
Perhaps then the brand-new Lamborghini Countach in white makes sense.
Also, spaceX, Dragon, astronauts, as clad mostly in white, not black.
-
WHAT IS MINIMALISM?
Keeping what you love, getting rid of the superfluous.
-
CAFFEINE & MAN.
The machine and man merged? A symbiosis? And inter dependency?

HOW TO BUILD AN INSANELY EPIC BACK
Insanely heavy deadlifts— one rep maxes!
-
People are more interested in you when you are self-absorbed.
For example, whenever I’m vlogging, everyone finds it so fascinating.
-
“BODIFULNESSâ€
We got “mindfulnessâ€, why not “body-fulnessâ€?
-
NEW AESTHETICS
New color combinations, new concepts.
-
GOOD // BAD
To make things more good, you must also make them more bad! You cannot have the good without the bad.
-
CUTTING EDGE.
I love being on the cutting-edge and being cutting-edge!
-
THE FUTURE IS PHILOSOPHICAL.
Google can teach you how to do something, but not why do something.
-
Anti Distraction
I prefer the technology which might be “worse†and less streamlined and convenient, than the technology which is “betterâ€, but bedridden with distractions.
-
Get rid of foreign things.
Native things are better.
-
NOT THE THING, THE IDEA.
I don’t want the thing itself, I like the idea of the thing.
-
NEVER SEEK SATISFACTION.
This is the road to never stopping.
Always seek better, more.
Once you’re satisfied, you’re dead.
Perhaps Americans seeking “full satisfaction†is a dead end? Instead perhaps we Americans should seek to just keep accumulating stuff, without seeking satisfaction.

IPAD PRO AS ZEN DEVICE
I insanely love the rounded edges and corners both of the device and also the screen!
-
GREATER ACTIONS REQUIRE GREATER RECOVERY
For example, going insanely hard one day, and take insanely epic rest the next 6 days, rather than everyday “moderate†hardness.
-
BROADEN YOUR MIND AND HPRIZONS
The upside of traveling, living abroad, and being nomadic.
-
SOLO INNOVATION
You cannot innovate in a group, or by committee.
-
Luxury Prisons
A lot of modern day indoors life — like luxury prisons.
-
PAIN & GREATNESS
On the road to greatness, you MUST experience great pain!
-
The most open minded place?
Beirut, Lebanon.
The more ancient the place and city, the more open minded it is? As a result of commerce?
Also, Marseille, France. Traditionally Istanbul.
-
Why nice or kind? Perhaps real and honest is superior.
Also, “respect†as more robust than being “nice†or “kindâ€.
Without respect, niceness or kindness is duplicitous.
Who gives true respect? Only the free.
-
Why are Chinese products so uninnovative?
Because they have a culture of copying and re-appropriation— not doing things blank slate.
Also, the Chinese are more risk-averse. They would rather choose the certain and profitable route, rather than the uncertain and potentially insanely pop will rob which innovative Americans do. Americans as more “ foolish†and risk loving.
Siri; radical innovation comes from radical risk?
In America, either radical failure or radical success.
-
BARBELL FASHION AND FUNCTION
Fashion shouldn’t be functional, and vice versa.
In fact, what makes something “fashion†anyways? The fact that it is not functional.
High heeled shoes are not functional, neither leather shoes.
