Black — not the best color, but certainly the least distracting color.

NATURAL MOTIONS, UNNATURAL MOTIONS?
551 Pound Deadlift Deadlift (two handles, neutral grip, hex bar, open hex bar, trap bar) as natural. Bench press — lifting a very heavyweight while lying down upwards away from you as unnatural.
Chin ups, with a neutral grip as natural.
Lifting up a heavy stone, and throwing it as natural. Rock toss. Even the ancient Greeks would throw massive boulders at one another and kill each other in battle.

Just iPhone it
For vlogs, just record it in 720P on your iPhone. Just use the selfie mode camera, or the front facing one and turn around your phone.
If you have the iPhone Pro, put it in Ultra Wide mode, and have the iPhone face you while vlogging. It is like a more streamlined GoPro; you can directly airdrop the videos to your other devices, whether it be your iPad or MacBook laptop. We’re better yet, you could directly upload your vlogs to YouTube from your iPhone. No intermediary required.
I am also just using the basic iPhone SE and it works fine.

ANCIENT PHYSIQUE
FARNESE HERCULES as a good studying model:
Note the relatively small pectoral muscles, deltoids, biceps, etc.
Massive back and shoulders! Big deadlift.

ALL CARS ARE IMPERFECT.
Thus, the easiest path— just don’t get any car, even if you’re a trillionaire!

WHAT WILL NOT LAST.
For car interiors, any LCD screen or touch screen.

THE LIGHTEST PRODUCTS
For iPhone, laptop, etc— lightest is god.
iPhone SE as best iPhone — lightest.

Don’t fight human nature, instead, roll with it.
For example, kids like to throw things around. Instead of trying to get a kid not to throw things, maybe it is best to engage them with things in which throwing them is actually a good thing.

Why is Food in Korea So Good?
Specialty restaurants (like In and Out Burger, Only serving 3 options) are best in Korea– should be the same abroad?

HADONG THOUGHTS III
Why do all cars look the same?
You cannot occupy more than one space at a time.
Some cold exposure is good. Not always
Country home, modern conveniences

STREET PHOTO TIPS
1. Shoot before thinking
2. Shoot in the subway
3. Look for gestures
4. Fill the frame
5. Look for curves
In hair, clothes, etc.
6. Shoot head-on
Don’t always shoot from behind; try to step in front of people and shoot head-on.
7. Look for love
And gestures of love. Hugs, kisses, embraces.
8. Look for people going around a corner or curve
9. Integrate your kids into the photo
Not all street photography requires only strangers.
10. When your shoot super directly towards someone, and they notice, pretend like you shot something behind them.
11. Juxtaposition between subject and background

GREY?
Is there any reason to buy anything which is grey?
For example a grey TESLA MODEL 3 performance?
Grey — hybrid of both black AND white?

NEWS: Non-City Turbo Thoughts
Currently here in the Korean countryside (HADONG) and loving it. Lots of non-city thoughts:
No place is forever
NO PLACE IS FOREVER VLOG Nor should a place be forever.
A lot of us seek a ‘forever’ ‘perfect’ spot, but even if you find it, you will easily tire and bore.
Instead, think of life like a forever campaign; life is campaign mode // VIDEO.
Countryside, and insanely fast wifi?
INSANELY SIMPLE I spoke too soon when I said wifi in Korea sucks (Korea Thoughts Vlog // YOUTUBE)
Currently here in the Korean countryside in HADONG, the wifi is INSANELY fast.
Which makes me think — perhaps I should use this opportunity for insanely radical innovation and experimentation?
The upside of non-city living
NEVER STOP CAMPAIGNING VLOG Something about being requested from society is interesting. The quality of your thoughts and type of your thoughts is different. I believe you start thinking more about challenging traditional notions of ‘success’, and this zen-zone of the non-city is conducive to thinking.

Beyond just thinking
WHEN TO ATTACK, WHEN TO RETREAT Philosophy is fun, but also is entrepreneurship.
The reason I like both:
Philosophy is more about creative seclusion, and coming up with epic thoughts, and entrepreneurship is more about being connected with the world and being active (attack mode).
Thus, the simple thought:
Retreat to the mountains to think, but once you have the thoughts you need, descend the mountain (Thus Spake Zarathustra), and share your findings with others.

What types of thoughts do you want to have?
Just experiment vlog To me, a thought without action is useless. I like the idea:
If you have a thought, just blog it.
Post a single thought, even if the title has no other message but the thought itself.
The never-ending stream
So what is the point of it all?
Think of yourself like the never-ending stream of water!

More thoughts
Some thoughts on PODCAST and YOUTUBE:
- Experiment with video podcasts on ANCHOR.FM
- Youtube– keep it insanely simple as possible (VIDEO // AUDIO)
Just start it.
Where should I live vlog? Just start it, and just start uploading. My simple YouTube philosophy.
720P is sufficient, even 480p if your internet is slow!
Also–
Make it so simple even your mom could use it!
This is my new design philosophy.
