What is the new privilege? The privilege of focus.

Never trust the artwork from somebody who is weak, anemic, or skinny fat.

Or in other words, look at the artist, not their artwork.

The physiological health of an artist is imputed into their artwork.

After a travel thing, I feel rejuvenated?

Don’t disdain those living in pain.

“It is simple. If it jiggles, it is fat.” – Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the pumping iron documentary

The hilarious irony is that if you want someone to read something, make the text less legible, more disclear.

Some funny biases:

First of all, “skinny” as a man is a bad thing. But what does that really mean? Typically, when we critique a man being skinny, it is like saying skinny means weak. But if you are “skinny“, and able to lift over nine plates, then, what does it mean to be a “skinny“?

Being fat is bad

One of the bad new trends is that a lot of these guys are trying to chase mass, to “Waymore“, and also to get “bigger“. As a consequence, they obsessively check their weight on the scale, and by all means just try to weigh more. However the downside of this is that it just makes them fat. They eat too much junk, like carbohydrates, starches, bread and pasta, etc., just to weigh more, but as a consequence, their weight is just more fat mass.

The only pair of ALLBIRDS I would ever consider buying. All black.

Assuming that thinness and lightness is the closest thing to godliness, why do we keep making every new generation iPhone, figure, thicker, fatter, more bloated?

My personal thought is improving your design is making it more simple, more streamlined, etc.

Human aesthetics is only aesthetics which matter.

For example, I really hate hats. When I am wearing a baseball cap, I hate the way it looks and I hate the way it makes me feel. I feel 1 billion times better when instead, my hair is styled differently — sides closely shaven, and hair gelled and styled and slicked back. Cindy calla it my “Lamborghini hair”.

Design as an imputation of yourself, your values.

Art is the answer!

At the end of the day, the end goal is to just (keep) making art!

Apple should just discontinue it.

At age 2 years and 2 months old, Seneca is already applying filters to videos!!

Now what?

Then channel your extreme happiness for the better! Towards innovation and entrepreneurship!

Science means “to know” (sciere), also means “bright”.

An intrinsic joy of lifting, weight lifting up heavy stuff?

Assuming that the most important part of a car design is the rear, the back, the takeaway point; all of the rear taillight design, and the backs of all the Lamborghini cars are really boring. They all look like Toyota RAV4‘s.

What is much more interesting is the Porsche straight taillight design.

The upside of being insanely picky.

Especially on the GarageBand app!

The great promise of the Tesla chassis and powertrain.

I personally predict a soon and ongoing bump, and upwards trend for crypto!
