I have a gym concept, it is a free open source Jin. Friesen zero price, also, free as in freedom.
What are the prerequisites? Some sort of community service, or giving back to society. Kind of like a new, muscular, virtuous boy scouts, certainly boys and girls both included. All ages genders and sexes allowed.
I have a thought that before attempting insanely epic things, for example, attempting to atlas lift 975 pounds, which is ten plates and and a 10, to hype yourself up is critical.
Currently at the gym, I randomly saw a bosu ball. I have my iPad Pro with me, connected to the free Wi-Fi, and doing some creative work while here.
975 pound atlas lift:
There are some people who I consider “form Nazis“; that is, they preach and superimpose a certain form, aka, their form, upon you.
There is no such thing as proper form. In fact, there’s no such thing as foreign. Instead, I think it all comes down to leverage, focus, hope in yourself, and maximum power output.
To become more productive, go to the gym more frequently?
I think the strange bias in today’s world is that we must maximize our time being “productive“, using computers and stuff. The body is an afterthought; just do the minimum amount of exercise necessary, as efficiently at the gym, in order to maximize your computer productivity time.
However perhaps we have this all wrong. Maybe the priority should be going to the gym, 90% of your life focus on your body your muscles, and the productivity will come naturally afterwards?
Whenever I go to the gym, and I use these PVC pipe really really hard rollers, rolling out my back my spine my legs my calves my thighs etc., it gets my mind going. Why? I have a theory that if you stimulate your body, your nerves, your muscles are sinews etc., it stimulates your mind.
Start the day with a lot of fine robusta, ERIC KIM OMAKASE COFFEE, then hit the gym!
Thoughts:
First, there seems to be a huge benefit of just getting your ass out of the house. When you wake up, and shower and am indoors, indoors is dark, cramped, short narrow and regular ceilings, and dull.
However once you coffee up, put on your clothes and shoes, and immediately just stepping outside and getting into your car, you immediately feel much more activated! Even driving, seeing the change of scenery, getting some movement and UV sun exposure is uplifting!
Even getting to the parking lot, seeing other people and cars, economic activity is very uplifting. And certainly getting to the gym is great — high ceilings, music, random stuff on the TV’s, seeing people at the gym— some familiar, some unfamiliar, some friends, some you might have seen is all good!
Once at the gym, great to empty your bowels, and start off the day with the hot sauna (yes, even BEFORE) working out! The sauna is like my zen meditation chamber, dark, quiet, and the higher temperature, humidity, and feeling my body sweat gets my thoughts going?
Also pro tip— ask your gym for the Wi-Fi password if they got Wi-Fi, and just bring your 11 inch iPad Pro, no case, no stupid stylus with you, and use it to do creative work, writing and ideation! For example all of this blog post was written on my iPad, using the free gym Wi-Fi, while in the hot sauna!
WHY become a visionary?
How to become a visionary?
After 50×50.
Stoicism is immoral, but that is also why it is good! Also effective.
Become invincible:
Learn from the master stoics:
Just ignore them. Ignore their existence? Pretend like they’re not there?
Also, no eye contact. Also, position your body away from them.
Experiment.
It seems that the best way to earn money, create capital, great value is to have people congregate together. This is the logic of sports, grocery stores, concerts, workshops, seminars, as well as restaurants and bars.
It seems that if you want to be economical, the cheapest way to approach things is to just be 100% carnivore. If you go to Costco, Costco business center, you can still buy 80/20 ground beef for only $2.99 a pound! Also, tri-tip beef is only $4.49 a pound!
Other day I went to my favorite are you Korean barbecue place for a dinner date with Cindy, and I was shocked that it ended up costing us almost $50 USD a person, which included tax and tip. The other day when we went to the Costco business Center, it cost only $70 to buy a big ass slab of beef tri-tip for only $4.50 a pound!
Very inspiring; the Tesla model three is almost like the new standard car. The new modern day Ford model T.
Maybe I could do the same thing with cameras? What would a standard camera, like let’s say a Tesla model 3 look like for cameras?
What is the meaning of inflation? What does it mean when gas prices keep going up, above five dollars a gallon, and the price of beef per pound keeps going up?
Impressive how Apple can still keep her prices at the price as they are.
At this point, my only limiting factor is my physiological energy, not money. My money outstrips my physiological energy.
Am I the first serious philosopher and the first serious weight lifter?
Something that I’ve observed is that I am much stronger, physiologically stronger, when I’m at the gym around a lot of other people. I believe if I were just working out or lifting weights in a vacuum, or a home gym or garage, I would be a lot less strong, and also a lot more bored.
90% of the fun I get from going to the gym is the social life. To quote Cindy, who studies the social life of libraries in colonial Vietnam, I am interested in the social life of the gym. Post college, I haven’t really had the opportunity to be as social. But for me, going to the gym is great.
Trust your own gut, your own instincts.

Dear friend,
If you’re new to photography, start here:
“He without a past has no future.”
Start here:
Classics never die:
But ever expansion!
Armored Prius.
Like Tesla.
Also seeking insanely great icons.
MLK VIBES
Guns and pseudo masculinity?
Apparently Inglewood is gentrifying a lot right now, a good investment opportunity for the future. Ken told me this!
We are more productive when we are in public spaces and places? For example, why I’m so productive at coffee shops!
Or at the gym, or at the park, or at the mall?
I have a new concept for a gym, a free gym, which is a freemium model. Like an open source gym, no membership necessary anyone can work out, but ultimately, you pay money for some sort of premium service or personal training?
