To be realistic in life is too basic and boring.

The upside of looking at your photos as small thumbnails and flagging your photos based on small thumbnails is that you can more quickly scan through your photos.

Reviewing your photos as small thumbnails as a good way to build your visual acuity.

The more veiny, the better.

Getting rid of the Touch Bar seems like a massive step *BACKWARDS*,

I really like the TouchBar on MacBook Pro — the ability to program it, and also, the intuitive ways to change the brightness and volume controls, and access my Apple Music library (change songs without opening a new app).

Also, deep integration with Apple Photos (flag photos, send photos, favorite photos, rotate photos).

The TouchBar with the MacBook Pro was a *HUGE LEAP* forward in terms of futuristic thinking with the laptop. The 14” MacBook Pro as a massive compromise, a huge step BACKWARDS.

Touch and touching is good.

Get rid of this notion that ‘touching is bad’ or ‘see see, no touch’.

The best photos as highly graphic.

Stronger shapes, forms, lines.

More abstract, focused on form.

Stronger contrast. Silhouettes, details.

(more…)

The ability to do an ‘ass to grass’ squat.

Hip mobility, suppleness in movement, legs.

Maximal mobility.

Photographing your kid while he’s in motion, and while you’re in motion.

Be able to ‘keep up’ with your kid.

(more…)

Also, shooting directly head-on.

The heavier the food, the better.

The fattier, the heavier the fare the better.

Certainly we want to make all these nice cute photos of our kids growing up, but which photos truly last?

Artistic photos of our kids. Low-key (silhouette) photos, macro close-up detail photos, and other unorthodox compositions.

What food best contributes to your physiological power? Foods high in fat and cholesterol (beef liver, ribs, belly, heart) and other highly nutritious meats. Pasture raised eggs.

Also, sleep is godlike. Sleep reigns above all else.

Then just strength and power building?

Only trust art which was created by healthy individuals. There is healthy art, and sick art.

A healthy artist should be in great physical shape. Even Pablo Picasso in his older years was in quite great health. Just look at photos him topless at the beach, in his more advanced years, with his young wife and kid.

I love Kanye West, but it looks like his physical shape nowadays is quite poor. Also love Peter Thiel, but it looks like he has developed a little bit of a gut nowadays too.

Elon Musk‘s health looks quite good. Same goes with Jack Dorsey.

I also like it how the bodybuilder Kai has created his own art comic book series, I trust him more so than a Frank Miller, a shrewd and strange looking man who creates heroic and masculine comic books.

The reason why I also really like John Wick, is that the director Chad S looks like he’s in great shape— Chad started his career as a stunt double, before becoming a director.

Or another words, only trust artists who can deadlift more than 405 pounds and squat more than 315 pounds.

Don’t hide them:

Perhaps the reason why the entertainment industry is in Southern California, Hollywood, and Los Angeles is because the weather in the sun allows maximum flesh exposure.

The reason why all black everything draws attention, you look like a phantom, a ghost.

If you want to attract more attention, wear less clothes, and show more skin and flesh.

For men, don’t wear a shirt, and wear short shorts. Also, don’t wear a hat, and don’t wear sunglasses. Show your face.

Also, if you decide to wear a shirt, the best shirt is a ripped black one.

The best statement shoes is vibram five fingers in black (EL-X model).

What are Iron Man colors? Hot rod red, and gold. This also makes for a good colorway for cars: shiny hot red car, with gold rims.

Don’t hide in the shadows or shade. Optimize being loud and flashy. ”Break necks”.

Just think: what attracts the most attention?

In praise of being out and about in the social world.

The problem–

Ain’t nothing excites us anymore.

We need more excitement, things which excite us.

New Apple products no longer excite us. It all seems so boring now. Even the marketing copy is boring and not exciting anymore.

New excitements at least with products include TESLA MODEL S PLAID (1.99 seconds from 0-60).

Also, Kanye West music is still exciting, and YEEZYSUPPLY products and sneakers.

Because I am an artist, I afford myself to do anything strange or aberrant.

For example, do you ever find yourself with half a second of free time, instinctively taking out your phone, opening up the Gmail app, and scrolling it and refreshing it to check if you got any new email, even if you checked half a second ago?

Also — googling something before thinking about it.

Thought:

Stop using Gmail.

For email, use a self hosted option (your own name @ your own domain.com). Use the built in Apple Mail software for your MacBook Laptop, or on your iPhone.

Also, when you have something you’re curious about, don’t google it. Think about it for a long time first, then later if you wanna do more research use wikipedia.org instead.

What interests us? The silhouette of things, a small stimulus.

Rather, best to create your own brand (yourself).

Any foreign brand-association is slavery.

Note that ‘branding‘ is what they used to do to cattle.

Anti labels.

My physiological goal.
