  • How to Become

    Become, Becoming:

    What does it mean to become, and why does this matter?

    The first thought is you and things are not static. You and things are dynamic, changing, ever evolving, ever rotating etc. I don’t think there’s really an ideal and state or goal. Rather, the end outcome is that your continuously become you, or become something different.

    Anti finality

    “It has been completed!” (Blaaaah… main protagonist or god Jesus figure then dies)

    A weird thing is that a lot of people seek completion, or some sort of final end state and goal. What I personally believe in is that in fact, this isn’t and shouldn’t be the desired and goal. Instead, ever changing, forever evolution, never ending is better.

    The end state and goal is not a zen peaceful tranquil life

    In the past what I believed the end goal in state was was towards were achieving some sort of truly blissful peace, send, tranquility, emptiness. Now upon much consideration thinking meditation and contemplation and life experiences, I’ve actually discovered this is not the way. And also not the desired end goal.

    On the contrary, my thought is perhaps the point of it all in the point of our lives is to seek ever greater challenges, hazards, danger, things to test our courage and will.

    Thoughts in progress

    What I love about philosophy is that it is a never ending journey. My only desire in life is that I continue having personally interesting thoughts until I die, whenever that is.

    OUTLAST.

    My thought is that the goal is to last, to endure. Even our best friend Nietzsche said that durability is the number one thing of value for humans!

  • “Unethical” Thinking

  • Deseridatum

    Things to be desired, or that which you desire!

  • Stubborn Geniuses

    What makes one a genius? How stubborn he or she is.

    Why do we dislike and hate stubborn or arrogant people? Because, we think we say and we feel:

    How dare you not kowtow to my will, my preferences, my beliefs!

    The hilarious irony is that when people call you stubborn or arrogant, they themselves are the close minded, stubborn arrogant ones. Shouldn’t they just be tolerant of you and your way of doing things and thinking?

    The zen of thinking

    How to Think

    Warm up your body, warm up your mind?

    Insanely high ceilings?

  • Start with a black canvas

    The best advice we got from our best friend Leonardo da Vinci! Maybe we start with a black canvas, and then we add paint on top of it!

  • Sand Bags?

    You can get 50 pounds of sand for only four dollars! This is insanely cheap.

    I wonder for a simple workout, just getting 400 pound sandbag, or something big, and filling it up with sand… Would be an insanely easy workout solution?

  • JUST USE IT!

    One of the weird biases in today’s world is that we are not permitted to do things, use things, etc. My simple thought and suggestion is that perhaps instead, we should be more proactive and actually using things. This means, don’t save stuff, just use it!

  • Freedom?

  • Thought Streamer

    What are your true desired end outcomes?

  • The most attractive color?

    Gold & shiny?

    Pro safety yellow?

    Killing time is critical unto innovation?
