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.

Popular music is bad, popular books are bad, popular clothes and fashion is bad, popular ideas are bad.

Even if you’re in an Uber or even if you have autopilot!

I have never really seen or witnessed any CrossFitters in real life who actually looked that fit. The men tend to be emasculated, kind of skinny, don’t have much muscle mass. Funny enough, the women tend to be much more muscular and impressive than the men.

I don’t think we should trust the physiques of any crossfitters who compete at the professional CrossFit games level, they are all on steroids or something.

When you’re in doubt about anything, or just bored, go on a walk, then you’ll probably figure it out, or entertain yourself.

In fact, a true billionaire lifestyle is being able to walk at least 30,000 steps a day.

Off the grid lifestyle

Cash rich.

Not just 100% electric car (Tesla, etc)— but hybrid — both electric AND gas. Double redundancy.

Also in praise of having at least two grandmothers and two kids? And two cars, two phones?

For example, with the iPhone, just get that which has the best, newest, and the most powerful processor.

Also a Tesla cars, perhaps the reason why it is a good idea to buy a brand new Tesla instead of an old used model S is that it has all of the new software, hardware, and in car processors in regards to auto pilot, etc.

For example, it is still quite phenomenal to me that the iPhone SE has such a great processor. Only the iPhone pro has a better processor to it.

For example, no reason to get the normal iPhone, as it has the same processor as the iPhone SE.

Fitness for the sake of physiological well-being, and also, to think of even greater thoughts, and for greater innovation and artistic and creative ingenuity.

Just think yourself; if you were Elon musk, what would you do, what would you not do? What would you concern yourself with, what would you not concern yourself with?

If you feel like you don’t have enough hours in the day to attempt and do all the things you want to do, a simple thought is treat it like a benefit; he becomes a naturalistic way for you to gauge and Judge what to do or what not to do. That means, the truly essential tasks will get handled out by yourself, and the really inessential ones will be left undone.

For example, if somebody is depressed, unwell, no need to moralize, or assign blame to them. The better question is, can and do you want to “fix them“? Or heal them?

So then the question then becomes, how badly do you care for them?

Being productive on the go.

If you don’t exercise or workout this day or today … why eat? You don’t technically need to.

Food (meat) should be seen as “gains” (muscular gains) towards your workouts!

Your own body, your own mind. 

Future humans — insanely fit, strong, tons of uber-abundant leisure to cultivate their bodies and minds.

Clothes — some sort of future compression clothing. Note my half compression legging short tights with the integrated side drop in pockets!

The funny thing; I upload a lot to YouTube, however, I never watch anything on it.

I love the gym – the new modern day coliseum!
