I have so much insane pride in my son.

Better for you to first invest in your own platform, even if it is inferior, than choose the external, more dominant platform.

Don’t trust the external.

Don’t interact or engage with people you don’t want to with.

Bad design is distracting.

Opt for the least complicated design.

I lift different:

The Best Practitioners Are Always the Most Self Centered

The only trait I hate in people is closemindedness.

The notion of a weightlifter as a better concept than simply being a powerlifter or bodybuilder.

Gym every day.

ESPECIALLY WITH CLOTHES.

To pity anyone or anything is immoral.

Physical training over mental training

For example, don’t do yoga indoors, do it outdoors at the park.

I would also love and envision a really good outdoor, open air, direct sunlight gym. Like the ancient open air gymnasiums of the past.

For example, imagine like an open parking lot, with a power rack, squat rack, heavy weights and barbells, etc.

For example, whenever Seneca is playing, I just gopro him playing. And I imported the video files into my Apple photos library. Then later, he can review and replay the videos of him playing, seen on the iPad or iPhone.

My number one tip for new parents is via negativa; no YouTube. YouTube is the devil. 100% no YouTube for your kids.

Uninstall YouTube from your phone, and just let your kids play with GarageBand on your iPhone or iPad instead.

Why are gas prices much lower (or sort of lower) than they were before? Theory — Joe Biden artificially injecting in money, to lower gas prices.

Are food prices too high? Not really. Costco Business Center (you can enter in with a normal Costco membership)– beef ribs only $2.99 USD a pound!

‘Inflation’ is not the issue. Rather, it is a de-valuing of the currency — injecting more ‘fake‘ (fiat) money into the economy is bad for Americans and their faith in the US DOLLAR.

Being cold and cruel is actually the most honest ethical way to deal with things and people?

Those who compromise, like Jony Ive, will be forgotten. Other geniuses like Steve Jobs will be remembered.

In order to be remembered, you must become the most uncompromising person of all time.

Become more self centered, self focused:

Neutral grip, close, crazy arch and just push it up a bit!

Money wisdom:

I only care for Cindy, Seneca, my mom, my sister, my brother in law, etc — my real family.

Long Amazon, because they are so insanely obsessed with growth.

A good reason not to drink beer, hard alcohol, cocktails, wine, whiskey, etc.

Drinking alcohol is not manly. It is good for lowering your testosterone and increasing your estrogen. Note when you look at heavy alcohol drinkers, they all have some sort of breast tissue.

Very easy. Don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke weed. Also, don’t own a car, and if you are going to own a car, get it super cheap used, ideally a hand me down from a family member.

Also, ideally only spend $500 a month of rent, or less.

Reduced expenses. Don’t be part of any subscription services.

Don’t eat out, just go to the Costco business center and buy beef ribs, and feast at home like a demigod.

The simplest path to saving over $500,000 USD.

For leisure and dates, just go to yoga, or go to the gym and lift heavy weights.

For clothes, just buy Lululemon clothing on clearance. Don’t buy black, get the most hype and flashy colors.

For iPhone, don’t buy iPhone pro. iPhone pro is for poor people. Instead, just got an iPhone SE.

Like Big Sean says.

As a general guideline, to be courteous is a virtue. Think of the court courtesan. However, beyond this, no need to kowtow to others, or even be nice or kind.

And upwards!

In that order.

To be courteous is one of the ethics of Boy Scouts. I think it is a good one. To be courteous, or courtesy is always good.

However, one doesn’t need to be “kind“ or even “nice“.

To ignore — perhaps one of the most virtuous things we can do?

People could force you to not do certain things, but people cannot force you to do something.

For example, nobody could force you to wear a certain type of footwear, or even force you to wear shoes. The only nuance is when it comes to private businesses. You must wear some sort of shoe.

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!
