To me, the art of choosing or picking your most important photos is key. But how does one do this?
First of all, I just follow my gut. If I see a photo and I pause, and I feel some sort of emotional or aesthetic response, I just pick it, which is the little heart favorite icon in Apple photos.
I prefer Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap perfect for a two day trip! Prefer the ‘Tomb Raider’ temple (ruins) over Angkor Wat:
First of all, I first went to Siem Reap nearly a decade ago, for the Angkor Photo Festival. Very good festival, and great organizers.
The first thought is that Siem Reap is waaaay more developed than what I recall in around 2010. For example, the Treeline Hotel is insanely epic.
However my overall critique:
A place that thrives on tourism is fragile.
Also–
Too much foreign intervention is bad.
In Siem Reap, I get the sense that there are too many degenerate expats.
I far prefer Phnom Penh — Phnom Penh being a ‘real’ city, with much economic development that is not dependent on tourism.
Especially when it comes to technology and algorithms.
When in doubt, just vlog it.
You are the model.
Your body, your gains, your aesthetic, your face, style, and strength and approach.
I desire to go further .. further than any other man has gone before!
Engineered for the furthest use.
When it runs counter to your own code of ethics.
A fusion, centaur approach.
Discipline isn’t having the fortitude to do something consistently, it is having the strength to refrain from action. Via negativa is discipline.
For example the simplest way to be “rich†is knowing how to refrain yourself from foolishly spending money on superfluous things.
No way to prove what you prevented. For example, preventing a texting while driving death. Via Nassim Taleb Antifragile.
Much about health is also about prevention of diseases. You never know what types of food, drink or lifestyle is “unhealthy†until *after* you’ve gotten the disease or must do an emergency surgery for some gall bladder or liver trauma.
Also with investments, you cannot prove how you *prevented* someone from going bankrupt, you can only show the profits and gains.
Something that has changed when it comes to my son — I am not just defending myself, but I must protect my son.
The strength of your personal stubbornness, and how badly you care for something. More faith in oneself, and less ethos about placating to the tastes or desires of others.
Better to have others be afraid of you, or fearful of you than to be liked or loved.
Be less of a pacifist, be more interventionist.
Ribeye steak, a ton of beef. Massage. Good hotel (good bed and sheets) for good sleep, and clean and quiet.
Construction as deeply optimistic for the future!
What is superior?
At least give an option to “X†out the advertisements. Critique of the Apple.com website.
The funny impetus to get an Apple Watch — to get rid of your phone?
Whenever I see a millennial mindlessly on Instagram while at breakfast or a cafe, I think —
“Loser!!â€
Far greater flex to be blogging on WordPress or your own platform instead!
When traveling or being abroad, the highest cultural capital, is being insanely fluent in English, that is, American English. The greatest flex.
Don’t think of it as child rearing, or childcare. Rather, you are the primary trainer and teacher of your child.
Perhaps this is the source of my power and personal motivation?
The irony is that getting a really really hard, strong, and painful massage, actually helps your body recuperate.
Therefore, it seems, on our road and quest to become stronger, pain is actually a necessary and essential ingredient.
In other words, we should not strive to minimize our pain in our life. Rather, to intelligently leverage pain in a life promoting and strengthening way.
I desire to conquer any and all-terrain!
The notion of social enterprise is a good one, but the problem is they don’t last.
A way to simplify and innovate new methods, approaches, techniques.
Technology is the way. Technology helps us leverage time more effectively!

All the phones are so lame.
It is trying to do too much? Also, trying to serve too many people?
Also now that Jony Ive is out — no more central design ethos. The new iOS trend towards “personalization†looks like a lame Android copy. Customization is bad.
Get it on Amazon with the “Fluents†purple ear plugs — paradise for home, sleep, travel.
Hunger as the most primal motivator. Full satiation means no more desire or motivation!
Why do Americans always feel so guilty about everything?
In praise of the GoPro QUIK app — pairs very very well with my iPad, love how it pairs super seamlessly, and the ability to also update the firmware of the GOPRO HERO camera!
First suggestion: if you want to flag or favorite a photo, just swipe down. Nobody cares for the description. You should just get rid of the info.
Second suggestion: for iPad, if you’re in the photos, get rid of those three annoying dots on the very top.. It takes away from the purity of viewing your photos
