Both metaphorically and literally.

A huge one is massively pragmatic:

The annoyance of having to keep on procuring more and more products which eventually run out– such as hair gel/wax, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.

Alternatives:

Brushing your teeth with just Himalayan pink sea salt? Instead of putting wax/gel into your hair just wear a black baseball cap? Instead of shampoo, just use simple white bar soap in both your body *and* your hair?

I also think that hand bar soap is insanely under-rated. Use that instead of those wasteful ‘Soft Soap’ pumping dispensers?

For cleaning surfaces just use really hot water?

IT’S A TRAP!

Local is the future.

Considering that China (mainland China) is mostly run by oligarchs, rich businessmen etc… what I *think* China seeks is more economic power. China doesn’t seek a greater military power… she simply wants more economic influence, power, and reach.

For example, China’s investments in emerging areas such as the outskirts of Eastern Europe, Africa, Cambodia, parts of Southeast Asia. Maybe even South Asia (India)?

Once again, the reason I am very skeptical of any notions of a ‘World War 3’ is because it is bad for international business. Just look at the VW/Lamborghini group — super sad she can no longer sell to rich Russian oligarchs.

Penetrate the sky!

FURY— one of my favorite Brad Pitt films and also one of my personal favorite thoughts?

The best question:

What will best serve you well in the long-run?

For example, unleashing Valhalla on your wife seems like a bad idea, if it will ruin your pillow-talk and sleep at night.

However with others, I say — fuck it, unleash it!

Lesson:

Hold in your anger and fury with your wife, and instead … let it free range with anyone else!

For example, my insane annoyance with the hard 2TB limit for Apple Family iCloud plan. This alone makes me want to jump ship from Apple once again!

BEAUTY IS SUPREME, OUR APEX VALUE.

For apex focus, disconnect.

Also for apex productivity!

My wife, my kid.

Because we gotta use it all day and stare at it all day!

Note– Google Chrome icon as insanely ugly. The look of the icon alone makes me not want to use it. Alternative– Safari, insanely beautiful icon!

No matter how great it is, sooner or later you will hit the 2TB [family] limit… then, your iPad is a dud.

MacBook Pro is less sexy… but, far greater longevity! My MacBook Pro is still technically 6 years old (bough it maxed out, refurbished 6 years ago)– and it still works! Battery is pretty much dead (only can run while plugged in), but still … it works!

The ultimate thing to beautify and build:

The body is the ultimate luxury:

More challenges, more conquest!

Disregard yourself.

A life wholly focused on the functional is a base life.
