A personal thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how good something is, it is never good enough for me. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For example with tools (besides iPad Pro<\/a>), the hidden feeling \u00e2\u20ac\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is probably something better out there. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With cars<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d none of the cars are actually interesting enough for me to buy (even though I can afford it). Even when I was at a point where I could trade all of my crypto<\/a> for a Lamborghini I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Why? I suppose my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153revealed preferences<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d showed me that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care THAT<\/em> much for Lamborghini<\/a> cars, or any cars in general. Note I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never bought a car in my life for more than $2,500 USD. My last car I bought in 2020 (Subaru Outback 5 speed, 2003, for only $800 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with shoes \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I can never find a perfect shoe that I actually really like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not satisfied with innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even with Tesla cars \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m impressed, but not THAT<\/em> impressed. Even test driving a Model 3 as hugely disappointing to me. Only fun car I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been in is my friend Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 911 Porsche<\/a> GT3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually fun and interesting to me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gym. Powerlifting. Deadlifts<\/a>. One rep max<\/a>. 105 pound kettlebell<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps this is good?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ironically enough this has made me more frugal<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I almost never buy anything, because I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think anything is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153worth it\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then also perhaps, harness thus extreme dissatisfaction into entrepreneurial ventures. To build brand new platforms, new technologies, ideas and approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
