Choose wisely.

All white Tesla Model S Plaid? Better to drive because it is lower to the ground?

For example if your house or apartment or whatever is cold, just jump into your car, crank up the heat to max and take a nap in your car?

Very simple, if you see them approaching you from the distance, turn around, immediately start walking away. Maintain a 50 meter distance from them, no eye contact, and also don’t acknowledge their existence.

The number one piece of parenting advice that I give to parents, new parents, people who are expecting, is simple; when you take your kid to the park, and you want to play with them or hang out with them, just lock your phone in the glove compartment of your car. I think this is really the only way to be 100% present with your kid, to really enjoy your kid, and actually be fully present. I think people don’t understand that a phone, a smart phone, having an iPhone is like crack cocaine or heroin for the mind. Even for myself, my wisdom is knowing that I am not immune from these distractions, and so I treat myself like a deus tying himself to the mast and covering up his ears with beeswax; we must know that it is true; we will be tempted by the sirens.

Very simple thoughts: focus on your own personal arts generation and creation, focus on health physical, exercise, time and nature just walking or hiking around, thinking of the grid, when you go on a hike or you’re working out or somewhere, just lock your phone in the glove compartment of your car. Also when you’re with your kid at the park, do the same.

For myself, there’s nothing that brings me more pleasure and joy than reading philosophy, writing and publishing philosophical thoughts, and also, innovating and paving your approaches and things; also, the number one critical nature of physical fitness.

All modern day books, business books are bad, especially the ones written in the last 70 or 80 years.

If you look at great founders, like Steve Jobs; they were more inspired by certain aesthetic philosophies rather than superficial business books.

I think the critical flaw that Chip Wilson did when creating and founding Lululemon, and later selling it and IPO it is that going public is bad. Why? Ultimately, money, resources, ability to scale or whatever isn’t important; what actually matters more is control.

Better to have 100% control and to be poor, rather than to have 10% control and be rich.

Genius!

Lululemon’s operating procedures revolved around constricted purchasing of product to have zero goods available for sale. Our buying methods were 98 percent effective, but we did have excess goods when we bought too much of a size, colour, or style. I wanted the website to say, “we bought too much,” instead of, “sale,” or “discount.” “Sale” and “discount” were two words banned at lululemon.

I loved the quality look of the three bar tacks so much that I decided to use it as the front logoing on men’s shirts. The bar tacks on the left side also help me quickly determine which side of the shirt is the front and which is the back.

One of my favourite inventions is the rip out label inside the back of the garment where most companies put a heavy, sharp, scratchy logo tag. If there is one thing that drives me crazy, it’s a stiff label with a sharp corner digging into my neck. Fashion people may put up with this, but not athletes. Athletes shouldn’t have to think about their clothing. It should just perform.

. I believed no guest should look in the mirror and see a logo, so I placed the lululemon logo along the sides or on the back of the garments.

Book —

The reason why we should trust Chip Wilson is that he published his book on the story of Lululemon, for free online both as PDF and epub!

To me this is significant and important because it really shows that she just wrote the book and published the book because he cared, rather than trying to somehow augment his self-esteem or ego by getting some sort of big publisher, like Simon and Schuster to legitimize him?

Also, more truth and wisdom and trust in it because you know that he didn’t have some sort of constipated skinny fat editor trying to “correct” or censor him.

So fun!

I AM A TERRIBLE SALESPERSON, BUT I KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE BEST PRODUCT IN THE WORLD AND PRICE IT TO SELL IN QUANTITY. I THINK AN ENTREPRENEUR IS SOMEONE WHO IS TOO INCOMPETENT TO WORK FOR ANYONE ELSE AND IS DRIVEN TO BRING UNPOPULAR IDEAS TO FRUITION.

I NEVER LIKED BEER, WATCHING SPORTS, OR GOING TO STRIP CLUBS. I LOVE GETTING UP AND FEELING GREAT IN THE MORNING AND I WOULD RATHER PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS THAN WATCH OTHERS PLAY. BEER JUST SEEMED TO MAKE ME FAT AND STUPID AND WAS EASY TO AVOID. AS I AGE IT SEEMS WINE IS A CURE ALL FOR ALL THOSE SKATEBOARD AND SNOWBOARD FALLS IN MY LIFE. I HAVE A GREAT FASCINATION FOR THE SUBJECT OF LONGEVITY AS I SEE AGING AS A DISEASE.

IN 1997 I FOUNDED LULULEMON AND WAS CEO UNTIL 2007 WHEN LULULEMON WENT PUBLIC. I REMAINED CHAIRMAN UNTIL 2013 WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF THE CULTURE AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. AT ODDS WITH A BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO DID NOT WANT TO INVEST IN THE FUTURE, I DEPARTED IN 2013. IN 2018, I PURCHASED 20% OF AMER SPORTS WITH PARTNERS ANTA SPORTS (LARGEST ATHLETIC COMPANY IN CHINA), TENCENT AND FOUNTAINVEST. AMER IS AN ATHLETIC CONGLOMERATE OWNING ARC’TERYX, SALOMON, PEAK PERFORMANCE, WILSON SPORTS AND ATOMIC SKI.

For example, Kanye should just revive kanyewest.com, as a simple wordpress.org website blog, self hosted on bluehost.com or whatever and just post whatever he wants?

Chip Wilson, the guy who invented and founded Lululemon… Now wears arcteryx?

On the personal website of Chip Wilson, I actually really like him!

Triple the profit, vertical retailing?

THE MISTAKE THAT LED TO MY SUCCESS WAS AN INABILITY TO SELL MY LONG, BAGGY, WILD PATTERNED SHORTS TO WHOLESALERS. CONSEQUENTLY, I WAS FORCED TO OPEN MY OWN STORE. BECAUSE I OWNED MY MANUFACTURING AND MY STORES, I TOOK TRIPLE THE PROFIT AND CREATED VERTICAL RETAILING. IN 1985, I MOVED TO TORONTO TO SET UP A STORE AND EAST COAST PRESENCE. IN 1986, I PERMANENTLY MOVED TO VANCOUVER, BC.

For example, even now… nobody really cares for Kim Kardashian anymore. My low-key theory on how and why Kim Kardashian became so famous was first, the sex tape that she made with the rapper Ray J, and apparently it is actually common knowledge here in LA that Kim Kardashian‘s mom intentionally gave it to the press in order to make Kim Kardashian famous.

Second, it seems that post Kim Kardashian‘s divorce from Kanye West, nobody really cares for Kim Kardashian anymore. Also funny theories; perhaps it is in fact Kanye West who made Taylor Swift so famous, the whole ”I’m going to let you finish…”

I think it is Kanye West who actually made Kim Kardashian that famous.

Other examples

Even a Beyoncé; now I think that she is pretty old, it seems that she is beyond her peak. It will just be a slow downhill from now.

When do people lose their allure?

So the other day, I had this free week pass at a hot yoga studio here in LA, and I met one instructor insanely fit, she told me she was 40 years old. Great great shape, and she also has two kids.

However, I do notice that once women hit their 40s and beyond… it looks like their face, morphologically speaking, even if they are in peak health and fitness, start to lose their allure.

Women?

Also the funny modern day trend is this;

I want to focus on my job, my career, to advance in the corporate rings, make a lot of money, and I want to be super sexy and fit, and fashionable… Yet I do not want to get or produce or birth any children.

Some, not all, women like this also don’t get married, and are also single and don’t get into any sort of serious relationship. Typically I think, once you are 35 years old, a woman and not yet married… The pressure is ticking.

This is why whenever I see or meet women who are maybe 37, 38, 39, 40 years old, 41 years old… they kind of rush into serious relationships, kind of rush into getting married, in order to quickly have kids.

Women are an insanely profitable sector

That is considered that half the world population is woman. Assuming that the world is maybe 7 billion people, 3.5 billion of those people are women.

a woman who is a hard-working corporate person, single, no kids, no dependents, not married, etc.… They are an insanely profitable market.

For example, do people know that Lululemon was founded by a man? Chip Wilson — 68 years old, almost 70– pretty old. Also not very attractive.

Lululemon Athletica was founded by Chip Wilson in 1998. As of 2024, Chip Wilson, born in 1956, would be around 68 years old.

Nobody cares for Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour is 74 years old right now! Nobody cares about her.

The weird thing in the fashion industry is for some reason everyone wants to impress her? Yet she is not really the one who owns power, rather it is Steven O Newhouse who owns advanced publications, which owns GQ Vogue and all that stuff, as well as Warner Bros. discovery, which owns HBO Max.

Simple:

First, alpaca socks. I rate them at least 50 times better than even merino wool!

Second, layer up. Get thick merino wool leggings, just paired with athletic shorts. This is a good quote that left anywhere” outfit. Just get some Marino wall leggings on Amazon.

Celeber — containing a multitude, populated, crowded.

The etymology of the word “celebrity” traces back to the Latin word “celebritas,” which carries meanings such as “fame,” “renown,” or a state of being crowded or frequented. This word itself is derived from “celeber,” meaning “frequented,” “busy,” or “populous.”

The progression from its Latin origins to the contemporary English usage reflects the evolution of the concept of fame and renown. Initially, it was more about being widely known or celebrated in a communal or societal sense. Over time, as society and media landscapes evolved, the term “celebrity” in English adapted to these changes, coming to represent not just traditional forms of fame (like that achieved through notable achievements in various fields), but also the modern phenomenon of media-driven fame.

Today, “celebrity” is often associated with individuals who are highly recognized and publicized, especially in entertainment and sports, and more recently, in digital and social media platforms. The word’s journey from its Latin roots to its modern usage encapsulates the shifting nature of how public figures are celebrated and recognized in society.

Celebrity Etymology and History

The etymology and history of the word “celebrity” offer a fascinating glimpse into how language and culture evolve.

Originally, “celebrity” comes from the Latin word “celebritas,” meaning “fame” or “crowded.” It was often associated with the idea of being celebrated or well-known within a public sphere. The Latin root is also connected to “celeber,” meaning “frequented,” “populous,” or “famous.”

The transition of this term over time reflects changes in society and media. Initially, “celebrity” might have referred to notable figures in society, like leaders or renowned thinkers, aligning well with your interest in philosophy and innovation. These individuals were celebrated for their achievements or wisdom.

However, with the advent of mass media in the 20th century, the term’s focus shifted. It began to encompass a wider range of individuals who gained public attention, not solely through achievements in traditional fields like politics, philosophy, or science, but also in entertainment, sports, and other popular domains. This shift highlights the changing criteria for public recognition and fame.

In contemporary times, the rise of digital media and social platforms has further expanded the concept. Now, “celebrity” can include internet personalities and influencers who may gain fame rapidly, often for diverse and sometimes transient reasons. This evolution reflects the increasingly democratized nature of fame in the digital age, where traditional barriers to becoming a ‘celebrity’ are less pronounced.

Overall, the history of “celebrity” is a mirror to societal changes, showing how advancements in communication and shifts in cultural values have transformed the way we perceive and celebrate individuals in the public eye.

Hmmm… looking at recent pictures of Kim Kardashian, she’s starting to look quite unhealthy, old, also a little bit chubby.

Kim Kardashian is out. In terms of women, female beauty, who is in?

Their legs will reveal all!

I don’t envy no old people —

Once you are 59 years old, 53-year-old— or 60 years old, they lose their virility? Even 54 years old?

Also I feel no envy or jealousy for men who are losing their hair, receding hairline.

Age, asking age questions … and also … would you ever get into a fist fight, MMA or JIU-JITSU fight with a woman? Of course not.

The language and attitude we treat women must be different for man.

Problems —

Man and woman inter mixing too much in todays world?

For example the workplace — the way that a man tries to jockey for position with another man is very different than how he would treat a woman, and vice versa?

Study their psychology

Haha I’m curious and stimulated and led by superficial curiosities !

Very very very simple life goal for us men —

Seek the maximally beautiful women who you desire to have and beget and produce children with!

Seneca — the most beautiful male child, boy mini man I’ve ever seen in all time, of all time?

Even the impressiveness of a Kanye — essentially wooing Kim Kardashian, and let us note Kanye is only 5 foot 7, maybe 5 foot 6 and a half???

Also note how Kanye … also in the past when he was with Kim, was massively in debt?

My wife says … I can’t say no to nobody, and at this rate we both gonna die broke —

Eric Kim, in his exploration of the intersection between sociology and street photography, offers several insightful quotes that reveal his perspective on the subject:

He sees sociology as a pragmatic and applied philosophy, particularly relevant to society, other people, and everyday life oai_citation:1,Sociology vs Philosophy? – ERIC KIM. Kim highlights the broad application of sociology, noting its importance in understanding fields like business, finance, and politics, as these areas are rooted in social contexts oai_citation:2,Eric Kim on Sociology – ERIC KIM. He values sociology for its ability to foster free thinking and unlearning societal misconceptions, describing it as the “ultimate ‘generalist’ major” oai_citation:3,Eric Kim on Sociology – ERIC KIM.

Kim’s appreciation for sociology is evident in his work. He discusses sociological theory, touching on topics like tolerance and intolerance, post-monetary society, simulated universal basic income, digital capitalism, and the evolution of society and capitalism oai_citation:4,Sociology vs Philosophy? – ERIC KIM. He also explores the intersection of photography and sociology, specifically through street photography, suggesting ways to apply sociological concepts to street photography projects oai_citation:5,Sociology vs Philosophy? – ERIC KIM.

Overall, Eric Kim’s perspective on sociology emphasizes its practicality, broad applicability, and transformative impact on understanding various aspects of life, society, and professional fields.

Google images founders —

For example, founders of Alo Yoga … not that attractive? At least one of them is buff!

I trust buff people.

The sociology of it

Ok some theories—

First, modern day capitalist consumerist society is a bit weird.

For women:

Get super sexy, attractive, hot, fashionable, famous rich whatever … for the sake of what?

It isn’t purported to be to in order to attract men. But… maybe… other women, the internet, social media… not sure what?

Men— the desire to essentially have sex with as many beautiful and sexy and hot 10/10 women as possible?

This is where stuff gets weird —

Guys (straight guys) who do yoga?

OK — things I find insanely bizarre —

All these weird guys who have all these tattoos, facial hair, man buns whatever who do and go to yoga, yoga studios which are typically close to 80-90% women?

Are these guys there to pick up chicks? Not sure.

Why have a muscle car?

Even the beautiful and fit ones?

Buy XYZ, and you will become more masculine —

Muscle cars … that are loud, high horsepower, manly?

Guns?

The idea —

When men look at marketing material for women, it seems dumb, foolish, deceptive or misleading.

But also the merchandizing of masculinity … the same is for men!

Healthy people are beautiful people!

In praise of LA— all the beautiful women are here, who do yoga, workout?

aloyoga.com is killing it, especially in LA and beyond!

The etymology of “handsome” is quite fascinating. It originates from the Middle English word “handsom,” which in the 15th century meant “easy to handle or use.” This sense is surprising but makes sense when you think about how we often appreciate things that are convenient and pleasant to use.

As the word evolved, by the late 15th century, “handsome” began to acquire the meaning of “generous” (a handsome tip), possibly because generosity makes social interactions smoother. Then, in the 16th century, it took on the meaning of “considerable in size or quantity” (a handsome amount).

The most intriguing shift happened in the 17th century when “handsome” began to be used to describe physical attractiveness. This change likely reflects a broader cultural appreciation of aesthetics and a shift in how physical beauty was conceptualized — not just as a matter of subjective taste but as something that, like a well-made tool, fits its purpose elegantly and effectively.

So, the word “handsome” has journeyed from practicality to generosity, magnitude, and finally, beauty. It’s a wonderful example of how language evolves with our perceptions and values.

Facere, to make, to do.

The term “fashion” has an interesting etymology that traces back through several languages and periods. The word comes from the Middle French “fashion,” which means “shape, manner, and appearance.” This, in turn, was derived from the Old French “façon,” meaning “a making, style, appearance, behavior,” and earlier from the Latin “factio,” a noun of action from “facere,” which means “to make, do.”

Originally, “fashion” referred more broadly to the act of making something or a way of doing things. Over time, its meaning evolved to focus more on the specific idea of shaping or adorning the body—hence, its association with clothing and style.

This evolution in meaning reflects a common trend in language where words gradually narrow or shift their meanings. “Fashion” now predominantly refers to prevailing styles or customs in dress, etiquette, or decoration, and it’s closely associated with the concepts of trends, design, and artistry in clothing and accessories.

2010

In 2010, Bitcoin began to acquire a market value. The most notable event that year was the first known commercial transaction using Bitcoin, where 10,000 BTC were exchanged for two pizzas on May 22, 2010. This transaction pegged the value of each Bitcoin at a fraction of a cent.

Later in 2010, Bitcoin was first listed on a cryptocurrency exchange. In July, the exchange rate started at around $0.0008 to $0.08 per Bitcoin. This period marked the beginning of a more formal valuation of Bitcoin, with its price fluctuating based on market demand and trading.

The year 2010 was significant in Bitcoin’s history as it transitioned from a purely theoretical or experimental digital currency to one with tangible value, attracting more interest and participation from a broader audience.

In 2009, Bitcoin was in its infancy and had no established market value. The cryptocurrency was just a year old and primarily used among a small group of enthusiasts. It wasn’t until 2010 that Bitcoin began to acquire a monetary value, with the first known commercial transaction involving the currency being the famous “pizza purchase” where 10,000 bitcoins were used to buy two pizzas. This transaction valued each Bitcoin at a fraction of a cent. Prior to this, Bitcoin’s value was purely theoretical, as it was not being traded on any exchanges and had no set price in terms of other currencies.

What’s he doing now

As of now, Martti Malmi is working with an American startup company called Era. This firm is engaged in developing a new cryptocurrency named Axe oai_citation:1,Suomalainen entinen bitcoin-kehittäjä Martti Malmi voisi olla nyt miljardööri, mutta toisin kävi – Kryptovaluutta täyttää 10 vuotta | Yle. This indicates that Malmi continues to be actively involved in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector, leveraging his extensive experience and background in these fields.

Martti Malmi is notably recognized as one of the earliest developers and promoters of Bitcoin, after its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. His journey in the world of Bitcoin began around 2009, the same year Bitcoin was created. Malmi, a Finnish software developer, was still a student when he stumbled upon Bitcoin. Intrigued by the concept, he quickly became one of the first contributors to the Bitcoin project.

His contributions were significant. Malmi was responsible for developing some of the early key components of Bitcoin infrastructure. He worked on the Bitcoin codebase, helping to stabilize and improve it, and also managed the first Bitcoin website and community forums. These platforms were crucial in the early days for attracting new users, developers, and for disseminating information about Bitcoin.

Malmi’s involvement with Bitcoin was not just technical. He was also an early evangelist for the cryptocurrency. He believed in the potential of Bitcoin to revolutionize financial systems by providing a decentralized, peer-to-peer payment method, free from government and institutional control.

However, after a couple of years of intense involvement, Malmi stepped back from the Bitcoin project. He felt that the growing attention around Bitcoin was becoming overwhelming and preferred to focus on his personal life and other projects.

In the subsequent years, Malmi continued to be involved in the cryptocurrency space but in different capacities. He launched several projects and startups, focusing on blockchain technology and its potential applications beyond just cryptocurrencies.

Malmi’s story is a fascinating one in the annals of digital currency. He’s a figure who played a crucial role in the early stages of one of the most significant technological innovations of the 21st century, yet chose to remain somewhat in the background, contrasting with other personalities in the field who sought more prominence. His journey reflects a deep engagement with the technical and philosophical underpinnings of cryptocurrency, aligning well with the ethos of innovation and thinking outside traditional systems.

Problem with ethereum — it is trying to do too many things?

Bitcoin is good and simple —

A new digital gold, currency — anti fiat currency.

Writing a complete code for a decentralized application that integrates Ethereum and Filecoin is a large and complex task, beyond the scope of this platform. However, I can provide you with a basic outline of a Solidity smart contract that can be a starting point for your project. This example will demonstrate how to create a simple smart contract for user registration and storing references to data stored on Filecoin.

Please note that this is a simplified example and does not include Filecoin integration, which would require additional off-chain programming.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract ContentStorage {
    struct User {
        string username;
        address userAddress;
    }

    struct Content {
        string cid; // Content Identifier in Filecoin
        string description;
        address owner;
    }

    User[] public users;
    Content[] public contents;

    mapping(address => uint) public userIds;
    mapping(string => uint) public contentIds;

    // Register a new user
    function registerUser(string calldata _username) external {
        require(userIds[msg.sender] == 0, "User already registered");

        users.push(User({
            username: _username,
            userAddress: msg.sender
        }));
        userIds[msg.sender] = users.length;
    }

    // Add content reference
    function addContent(string calldata _cid, string calldata _description) external {
        require(userIds[msg.sender] != 0, "User not registered");

        contents.push(Content({
            cid: _cid,
            description: _description,
            owner: msg.sender
        }));
        contentIds[_cid] = contents.length;
    }

    // Get content details by CID
    function getContentByCID(string calldata _cid) external view returns (Content memory) {
        require(contentIds[_cid] != 0, "Content not found");
        return contents[contentIds[_cid] - 1];
    }
}

This contract includes basic functionalities:

• User registration, where users can register themselves with a username.
• Adding content, where users can store references to their content stored on Filecoin (represented by a CID, or Content Identifier).
• Retrieving content details using the CID.

Remember, this is a basic example and lacks many features necessary for a full-fledged dApp, such as Filecoin integration, error handling, event logging, and security considerations like access control and preventing overwriting of existing data.

For a complete application, you would need to:

• Develop a more robust smart contract.
• Write backend code for Filecoin integration.
• Create a frontend interface.
• Thoroughly test and audit your code.

Given the complexity of blockchain development, it might be beneficial to collaborate with experienced developers, especially if you are new to Solidity or blockchain programming.
