Health Over â€Happinessâ€
Getting a single great night of sleep is worth 100000x more than even a trillion dollars.
-
INSANELY FAST.
My great joy of importing photos to iPad Pro M1–
Via the USB-C SD card reader, the import process is so insanely fast!!
Why? Shooting extra small JPEG on RICOH GR IIIX. Also the unified nature of M1 chip makes it so insanely fast and great.

Don’t Be *Too* Concerned About Your Own Personal Well-Being
A healthy dose of personal insouciance and indifference is good!
-
I want to have the option
Options, and optionality is what I desire and love the most.
I never want to sign a contract, or be held anywhere hostage or prisoner.
I desire to come and go as I please.
-
Why we prefer style over performance
For example, when your car is parked, nobody knows how fast it is.
-
Successful people don’t wear suits
Slaves wear suits.
-
No halfway measures
Either all or nothing.
-
Never attempt anything in which there is no opportunity for failure
or being laughed at or ridiculed.
-
Does buying things involve a risk?
Not necessarily. Certainly, buying something requires money, but, it doesn’t really require a risk.
-
Don’t Try Too Hard to Be Different
The problem with trying too hard to be different: you still put yourself on a spectrum with others.
-
I don’t care for laptops anymore
iPad, iPhone as the future.
-
Why I Prefer No Branding
I’m very sensitive to icons, symbols, and text. I want fewer distractions in my life.
-
LUST & DESIRE FOR MORE
This is what drives me.
-
Weapons or Armor?
The Ancient Greek heroes didn’t care for tools or toys— only their weapons, shield, and armor.
-
Open Air is Better for Your Health
Al fresco dining, al fresco lifestyle.
Disdain being indoors. Always prefer outside to eat, socialize, do anything, live, workout, etc.
Also thinking and philosophizing — trust no thought which enters your mind when you’re indoors.
I also prefer viewing, reviewing my photos outdoors in the open air on my iPad instead of being stuck indoors.
-
HUNGER IS A SIGN OF STRENGTH
When you’re sick you have no appetite.
One thought I had — how can I eat *more* meat? 10 pounds a day, in a single sitting?
-
Don’t romanticize old technology
Typewriter as inferior technology. Remember the stuck keys??
Gas cars, spark plugs, oil changes, radiator issues, etc.
-
Contingency Planning
Extra room, extra time, extreme buffer.
-
Risky Presents
Risky consumerism — buying stuff which actually has a risk involved?
Better to hate or love it than mildly appreciate it.
-
Allergy to Achievement
Via Peter Thiel — the best definition of a “hipsterâ€.
-
Make jobs for others
The best way to “stimulate†the economy.
-
Kettlebells Make Better Photographers
Don’t buy a new camera or lens, but a (very heavy) kettlebell instead.
Great for hip mobility, squatting ass to grass, turbo thighs, and vitality!
-
Consumption takes no risk
Unless you do a food eating challenge and gotta pay for the ($150+ meal) if you fail!
-
People Who Make Progress, People Who Don’t
Avoid people who talk much about doing something, but don’t progress.
