Today’s turbo thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be human is to MOVE!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is the point of life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no ultimate purpose or point to life. The better question is this: While I am still alive, how do I desire to use\/direct my human metabolism — toward which ends?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why focus on movement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The reason we have a brain is for us to move.<\/li>
  2. A human who doesn’t move has no need for a brain.<\/li>
  3. When we stop moving or have no reason<\/em> to move, we start to develop brain-mental-health maladies.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It seems the first step in our life is to maximize our physiological strength<\/a>, well-being, and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Is the point to just move all day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Then comes the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is the point for us to simply walk for 8 hours a day?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    I experimented with this for a few days: using my open schedule to simply walk around all day. I would say this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you walk around all day, you are generally in a better mood. Less anxious and stressed. But after a while it gets boring.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Another goal in life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I think perhaps the goal is to maximize your feeling of artistic, physiological, and muscular strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For me, this is generally when I am at a coffee shop (standing desk), jamming out to music I like, and writing like a beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also I get this feeling when I am teaching or speaking. I engage all of my faculties and skills. This is when I feel the most powerful and alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Get lost in the rapture of reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    I like this idea that we love being alive so much, and we love reality so much that we desire to live forever. Like Nietzsche’s notion of the ‘eternal return<\/a>‘:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Live your life in accordance as if you were to live FOREVER.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    In simple terms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Never stop moving<\/li>
    2. Never stop traveling<\/li>
    3. Never stop lifting weights<\/li>
    4. Never stop questioning and wondering<\/li>
    5. Never stop making photos<\/li>
    6. Never stop making art!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
