For modern books, short books are best.

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.

The Zen of Meat
I love to cook it, eat it, slice it (preparing it), and think about it:
I enjoy the meat lifestyle
Also the zen philosophy — meat has all your â€essential†nutrition. No supplements required.
Also note — nobody is allergic to meat nor has a severe intolerance to it (compare this with cashew, peanut, legume allergies).
Diet Vegans
I think most people pick up veganism to lose fat. The whole â€I’m doing it for the planet†seems like a ruse.

Instagram is The New AOL
Just like how I don’t trust people with an @aol.com email address, I don’t trust people on Instagram.
-
EVERYONE DESIRES TO BECOME SUPREME
The only difference is how (the means) in which people feel supreme to others.
-
Book Covers Don’t Lie
They show what people are really interested in.
-
“I don’t care for your feelingsâ€
Avoid and be wary of people with too many “feelingsâ€. A sign of sickness.
If you’re healthy, keep away from the sick. Use a face mask. Don’t interact with sick people — whether literal or metaphorical.
-
No Privilege Without Corresponding Downside
If you desire to wage war, you must be on the front lines. If you want â€gun rightsâ€, consider — how do you feel about exposing your own personal children to gunmen?

Why Vanity is Good
To do things for our personal vanity doesn’t â€hurt†anyone else. Also, it motivates us to the heights and beyond.
-
Why Floor Bench Press?
Floor bench press as superior to normal ‘bench’ bench press:
WHY?
Several reasons:
- No need for a ‘spotter’
- You have more leverage with the direct floor, thus allowing you to arch your back more, and ultimately lifting more weight (the more weight you can push, the better).
-
Recovery Pain
Some pain is good — for example, the pain you feel during the recovery process (DOMS — delayed onset muscle soreness). Or even the pain associated with sickness.
Don’t use pain killers. It disrupts the recovery process! If you can ride through this (good) pain, you’ll become stronger in the long run.
