A lot of modern day indoors life — like luxury prisons.

On the road to greatness, you MUST experience great pain!

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.

Also, “respect” as more robust than being “nice” or “kind”.

Without respect, niceness or kindness is duplicitous.

Who gives true respect? Only the free.

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.

FLOW ON!

Always trust the thing with the newest or the highest version number!

The newest product, the newest model is often the best one.

Perhaps this is why they call it “currency”— flowing like water, a current!

The more you make money flow, the richer you will become?

Drugs seem to be good, if you’re going to have surgery. Otherwise abstain.

Towards the “billionaire beggar” aesthetic.

How to best live in America?

Even simple things you ask people— whether they have kids yet or not, what their hometown is, their passions in life, etc.

Some thoughts spurred by my friend Stan:

What is metaphysics anyways? And why does it matter?

My definition of metaphysics; that which is above the physical. Beyond the physical.

In a practical sense, digital is metaphysical. Why? Your digital photos are in the world of ones and zeros, not atoms.

The ultimate metaphysical thing to build.

Not what you think others will like.

In America, we pretend that everyone is equal, and that there are no such thing as superior or inferior people. Yet everyone seeks superiority.

And actually, if you consider the Pledge of Allegiance, it says “…and liberty and justice for all”, not equality. It doesn’t talk about equality.

Therefore the question is; should society seek equality?

My theory is that it once again goes back to the modern day notion of productivity, the more productive you are in your thoughts and thinking, the better.

My next car will not have any stalk, no automatic transmission stalk, or even manual transmission stalk.

99% of deadlifts is just fear conquering.

Also as a simple thought, when you attept a new one rep max deadlift, and your pull with all your strength, don’t quit, just keep pulling through.

Oh the reason why I love living in a hotel so much, all of the human resources. The lovely house cleaning staff who cleans our hotel room every single day.

Also, my extreme gratitude for Grab and Uber drivers. If I had the option of being able to ride in an Uber for the rest of my life, or own a Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, I would choose the prior. Only suckers drive themselves. The truly lead have private drivers.

Once again, the initial purpose of the Rolls-Royce was that you had a private driver, and the suicide doors made it easier for the back sitting individual to get out of the car. It makes no sense to own a Rolls-Royce, and drive it yourself.

Also getting massages as the ultimate human labor which is insanely worth it!

It seems that ultimate pursuit that a lot of individuals pursue is philosophy. And philosophy is rooted in thought. However, you cannot have thoughts without a body.

Therefore, the ultimate goal is both elevating your thoughts, and elevating your body. Your body and mind is the yin and yang, one is not superior to the other, both are one in the same.

Similar to man and woman, man is not superior to woman, man and women are one and the same. Also, both men and women are both necessary for the human race.

Remember, all men were once born from a woman. Also, remember the spartan saying, the reason why Spartan women were so strong was that they gave birth to Spartan men.

Don’t trust anyone who thinks that aesthetics are objective. Also, an interesting thought, I think traditionally, the bigger and more plump the woman was, the more desirable they were seen, as they were seen as healthier, and more fit for childbirth.

Therefore, this new modern trend of women being hyper hyper skinny, almost anemic or skeletor looking, is a modern one.

For example, the reason why I stop drinking alcohol.

For example, can Tae Kwon Do, judo, jujitsu, karate and kung fu actually be is in a real street fight? Or, is it just something you send your kids to as a daycare?

My thought: attempt risky things, the most risky things, granted you have the necessary safety measures.

Rather than the foolish notion of burning your bridges behind you, better to always have safety pins, a back up, redundancy, or a limited downside.

In fact, I think to expect failure is actually a wise idea.

For example, with speculative investments, let’s say cryptocurrency, limit your cryptocurrency investments to 20% of your savings. Therefore, assuming you lose it all, you only lost 20% of your net worth. This is quite tolerable.

Or with doing squats, assume that you may fail. Therefore, having the necessary safety pins behind you as a good idea.

Or, with any other extreme sports or activities, have all of the safety equipment. For example, it should be required that all pro skaters must wear helmets.

After achieving of the traditional markers and success, becoming financially independent, etc., my lesson:

Life is all upside.

Even pain — pain is not what makes life a downside. In fact, it is what makes life enjoyable.

If you never felt pain in life, you will not appreciate the good things.

Also from a physiological perspective, pain is actually an necessary ingredient for growth. Also, childbirth would be impossible without pain, as pain is the signal to the wounds body to push out the baby.

Not some hateful thing you do in order to “stay fit”. No fun, no fitness.

Currently the nouveau hippie thought is that outdoor spaces are always superior to indoor spaces — not quite. I am very grateful for indoor gyms, and indoor shopping malls especially when there is a torrential rain storm outside.

I think the best idea than is to harness both to the maximum.
