The super human: synthesis of monster and child?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet, naive, open minded, curious, and friendly like a child but also having the ability to turn into a monster, a beast, and a chaos? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why barbell between child and monster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A monster as intimidating, powerful, and not to be fucked with. But by default, best to be like a child: wide-eyed, curious, and eager to learn and explore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most adults are (very) boring <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I’m with a bunch of adults, 99% of the time I have more fun talking to the kids than the parents. Parents (who have been employed for most of their life) as generally boring. Recycled conversations, and “copy and paste” commentary from mainstream news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Children are far superior: they are more playful, fun, and entertaining and interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Us as adults, we should better channel our childlike soul. And when necessary, it is good to let our own inner monster out to signal to others not to fuck with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When to be a monster <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be a monster at the gym. Grunt, be loud, throw around stuff, and take up space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When doing creative work, let out your own inner creative demon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Avoid the middle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The only sin being a human? To censor yourself, be boring, to be generic, to be mediocre (middle). Far better to embrace the extremes: monster and child<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When you create, unleash your inner child and monster! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
