First physical strength. The true root of courage is physical.

Either I love it, or feel indifferent or hate it.

Towards a greater physique:

Why physique?

Physique — because let us consider, how much money time and effort we waste on things for their physique. The physique of cars (car design), the physique of objects tools and things (the design of an iPhone, iPad, laptop), the physique and design of our clothes, and homes, furniture and things.

Your ideal physique?

This is where things get fun — time for you to craft your own ideal physique.

How? Very simple:

1. Intermittent fasting — no breakfast no lunch, only one insanely big dinner a day (100% carnivore diet).
2. No alcohol, weed, starches, vegetables, fiber, fruit, nuts, sugar, etc.
3. Insanely heavy weight lifting, hypelifting. Atlas lift, rack pulls, etc.

It seems the ideal is some sort of sleeveless shirt — less fabric to get in your way, but enough fabric to add another layer of protection for your shoulders when doing those insanely heavy atlas lifts.

Just ordered a Lululemon vital drive sleeveless training shirt (medium). Let’s see how it is!

“Fucking c’est la vie.” My favorite Kanye line.

1. Just stick to what you know.
2. Conquer the fear of conflict
3. Affection
4. Do you have a affection for them or not?
5. Do you care for them or not?
6. Wabi Sabi Car — dinged up, rust has more charm!

A very good Boy Scouts ethic.

Or like Kanye said — “I’m into my own dick.”

Don’t chase women or girls, instead, just chase new strength personal records at the gym. 7 plates and beyond.

Our Boy Scout’s motto:

Always be prepared.

When you’re traveling on the road, always travel with two phones. Also, applied this methodology of thinking about the worst case scenario, especially when it comes to guns.

Also when the weather is poor, or you are tired, just call an Uber instead.

Always have the gun on you, never in your backpack or bag.

When you go to a wedding, ensure and ask the host whether it is a “gun free” wedding. Or ask the host to request for the wedding party to be gun free, or everyone needs to report or “check in” their guns before entering the party.

You must assume as if some random 11-12 year old kid can find it, and accidentally shoot it — accidentally killing himself or herself or others in the party. Prevent the Sandy Hook.

Better yet … if you’re going to a wedding or a party there’s no reason to bring your gun. Keep it in the car or at home.

It gives you the opportunity to actually exercise your skills and courage!

Theory —

Perhaps in life in order to further ourselves we should actually seek MORE conflict, MORE confronting and confrontations?

The Stoic Masters

Learn from the master stoics:

• Seneca
• Marcus Aurelius
• Epictetus
• Publilius Syrus
• Heraclitus

See all philosophy >

I consider others outside my deep family as my servants.

No decision is final, no regrets. Just keep iterating your decisions, in real time.

Cut off, cauter all the diseased parts.

Build your body, build your mind. Also, build your soul.

The strong simply walk away and don’t acknowledge the existence of the other.

The secret to life:

How get fit:

The upside of the Lamborghini Urus engine.

Also successful at what you do.

Haters giving them salty looks… Lawry’s (Kanye)

Even now — getting salty looks at the gym! A sign I’m impressive.

Get swole with KIM:

Smitana—to cast, sling, hurl, throw, strike.

Wisdom:

Don’t be foolish with money:

For example, even a super base Tesla model three is $47,000!!

Even the full self driving capability is too expensive, $15,000! That could buy you a shit load of Uber rides:

Out the door, over $48,000!! That could buy you a shit load of tacos.

Any life or lifestyle in which you must gain permission before doing XYZ is bad.

Reviews are bad, false, misleading and from incorrect basic and unknowledgeable people.

For example, never trust reviews online about sizing. Just follow your gut and order what you typically do.

Own — to have, to possess. h2eyk– to obtain.

Some thing I’ve realized, especially with a lot of the newer cars, electric vehicles, etc., like looking at the new Kia EV6; the way these cars are designed, especially in terms of the dashboard, touch screens, etc., there will be no longevity.

For example, I was even in a Tesla model S plaid the other day, in a Tesla showroom, and somebody keyed a huge permanent scratch on the center touchscreen display. Changing that or fixing it will be an insane pain in the ass, and also probably very expensive too. And you have to wait a small lifetime in order for Tesla to fix it for you, or ordering the part.

Even a simple idea; would it to be a good idea to just be able to replace your center console display touchscreen, just plugging in a new iPad Pro? For example, if you compare of the responsibility or the you are UX of even a brand new Tesla, it is far inferior to the newest iPad Pro.

What if even on a Tesla, you could just jerry rig an iPad Pro here instead?

Therefore, for myself, I hate cars with touch screens. I do not desire any car with a touchscreen.

Instead, we care for sexy.

Some advice for Kia; don’t focus on Kia being a value brand, or even getting a lot of bang for the buck. Instead, I focus on how beautifully and sexy and innovative the designs are.

Frugal, frux— fruits of the earth. bruGh— to make use of, have enjoyment of.

Why car design is so critical and why do you care so much; assuming you live in America, in LA, Southern California etc., you probably spend a lot of time in the car, looking at other cars, or in places where you see a huge parking lot full of cars. For myself, I love beautiful design, and I hate looking at ugly cars.

Therefore as a design imperative, striving to design cars as beautiful as possible, just to make the urban landscape more beautiful.

For example, just inherited my mom’s old 2009 Hyundai Sonata, and I am amazed; looking at the Hyundai Sonata, over the years, how much it has evolved design wise, to become so much more beautiful.

For example, as a kid, I remember looking at Hyundai and Kia cars and being so offended how ugly they were. Now, if you look at modern Hyundai cars, Kia cars, and Genesis cars, they are beautiful. In fact, out of all of the car brands out there, Hyundai-KIA-Genesis is by far the most ambitious car brands in terms of design, and future thinking. And yes, Hyundai owns KIA and Genesis, just like how Volkswagen (see their brands) owns Lamborghini, Audi, Porsche, Ducati, Bentley, etc. And how BMW owns Rolls Royce. Certainly these mega conglomerates don’t want you to know this.

For example, if you go to the Volkswagen AG website, and you look at their brands, they are very clever in hiding some of their brands, like Skoda and Bentley, by having to click right.

For example, I went to a Pasadena art center student show for cars, and was amazed by how innovative all the students were. Like my brother-in-law John Narciso says, it is a lot of the Korean, and Korean American kids were by far the most innovative in car design.

Anti weaklings.
