My ideal for America is that there is a hierarchy, however, it is only predicated on merit, effort and courage.

A lesson from Nassim Taleb; if overtime, you become angrier, that means that injustice has been dealt to you.

Lesson: anger should not be an emotion which should be expiated, rather, anger is the most accurate tool and compass for understanding justice versus injustice.

Therefore, if there is somebody who has dealt injustice to you, perhaps it is better to deal with them with disgust and fury.

The more I think about it, traditional Christian morality, protestant ethics, Catholic ethics, quaker Victorian ideals of America are bad.

Moral of the story; start unlearning and disintegrating them from your moral fiber and being.

Better to punish than forgive?

Whenever you have any ideas or thoughts, just publish them to your own blog.

The hilarity is that everyone is fleeing social media, but have no idea where to go or what to do. Very simple, just start your own website and blog and start posting!

For example, wearing a compression shirt as a base layer, and then just wearing another T-shirt on top of it.

The great mind, the great soul. From the good old Aristotle.

Allegiate

For example, the genius of ALLEGIATE gym is that they say they are NOT cardio.

Also, in today’s world, the best way to identify yourself as a photographer and creative is by saying you’re not on Instagram or social media.

Like big Sean says, the city is my metropolis.

What is the purpose and point of an iPhone nowadays anyways?

Good things: FaceTime (can be done on iPad or laptop), Google Maps (can be done on Android).

Also, even if you don’t own an iPhone you can still send iMessage via your iPad!

Question— is there a need for us to own an iPhone anymore? Maybe just get a Google Pixel instead?

Why? We cannot forecast the future.

Better to be a megalomaniac than be “realistic” and average.

When we apologize — technically, we didn’t know we were in the “wrong”. Thus apologizing does nothing.

Also to apologize as a sign of weakness — simply fear of retribution?

Also — don’t have your kid(s) apologize. They didn’t know any better! You must protect your kid(s) and wife!

Why? If you live in LA; the smallest car for street parking.

Do a lot, but not too much.

Perhaps the key and the path to success is to be the minority, rather than the majority?

For example, is Elon Musk the majority?. No.

Also, technically iPhone is still not the majority smartphone, but it is by 1000X times the best.

Even Tesla is not the majority car, the majority car is probably a Toyota Corolla. Yet a Tesla model three is 1 billion times better than a Corolla.

Maybe this is a plus one for the iPad mini.

My vision:

One of the great things about being alive, and also being out in the world:

Any and every opportunity is a photo opportunity!

Santa Monica is not perfect, but some upsides:

1. Very walkable.
2. Closeness to the pier, seeing the water.
3. When you were close to the water, and there are no buildings covering you, lots of natural light, lots of sunlight.
4. People who live in the local neighborhood, nearby are very friendly, well educated, good vibes.
5. Good for street photography.

To cut off, to cut down.

To cut.

Thus, a fun interpretation of what it means to decide is to simply cut off other options.

Deciding is via negativa— when you decide something, it is more about what not to do, then what to do.

The most supreme form of decision making is just following your instinct.
