Some thoughts–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc Assuming we think about the law of conservation of energy\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What that means is this;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEnergy is matter, matter is energy. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, that means that energy cannot be created nor destroyed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In the context of people, the social world etc.; I think also our human physiological energy is also similar. I think of it like a battery; you start off the day with 100% charge, and the more you engage in certain things, you slowly deplete your battery. And I suppose the catch is you cannot recharge your battery during the middle of day, besides maybe taking a nap or working out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem with coffee caffeine and stimulants is the way it works it tricks your brain into thinking it is not, it synapses, and also\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Produces a short term adrenaline response. We get addicted to this adrenaline response, this is why we love HYPELIFTING, powerlifting, extreme sports etc. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc I met this theater guy the other day, Abel Horowitz in LA — and I asked him why he loved theater so much and he told me that it was the closest thing that he got to drugs. And it makes sense; when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re on stage in front of a bunch of people, it is the ultimate drug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social energy, money and monetary energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Different people have different personality types; I think the closest analogy we got right now is that an introvert is somebody when they spend time with other people their energy gets depleted, where is extroverts, we are almost like Social vampires; we suck the energy out of others and become more powerful and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, for myself\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 When I around other people talking to them engaging with them socializing having fun whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 It adds energy to me. I get stronger, happier, more robust, more excited, more energetic etc. This is also why I think when doing extreme weightlifting, I get the most hype when I am at the gym, the new modern day arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think it is true when you have an audience or other humans around you, you actually gain more energy and hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conserve your energy, or be careful how you direct your energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think the point is to never use your energy; then certainly we must also use energy. But I suppose it is a filter thing; to whom do you want to direct your energy towards, when do you want to direct your energy, how much energy do you want to direct, How long do you want to direct the energy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you think about life in general, what is the definition of life? Life is also energy; whether you like it or not, we all will die and must die; and so if you think about our lives\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 How we direct our energy and towards what, is how we live our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curating your energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc I suppose the intelligence of life is to figure out how to intelligently direct and curate your energy. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It comes down to a simple filter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDo you really care for this person or not? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
It is impossible to care for every single human on the planet. You simply do not have enough energy, or power. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a simple analogy, let us see that in a single day, you only got \u00e2\u20ac\u0153100 care points\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Whenever you care about something, or direct your care toward something\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Your care points either get depleted \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcor added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something which is very interesting as a new parent, Seneca being three years, four months old\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Is that \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcit positively ADDS<\/em> and I gain more joy energy power and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there are certain people who are like energy black holes \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc– they complain, moan, about everything in their lives\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And the whole thing is draining; also, positively depressing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think people truly lack criticality here; there is this Vietnamese (perhaps Chinese Confucian) \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcproverb that if you brush shoulders with somebody who is dyed with black ink, you will also become black. This is also where obesity can also be seen as a social pandemic; if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re 10 best friends all love to drink alcohol laced with sugar, smoke weed and eat McDonald\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s late at night, eat ice cream, buy oversized chip bags at Costco, like to watch Netflix etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Certainly you will also become fatter on average. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc Why? Let us say you want to socialize with them, you will probably drink some sort of alcoholic beverage with them and go out, drink a beer or a cocktail with sugar in it, eat ice cream and desserts cakes etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Or you buy brunch with them and eating a bunch of $20 croissants etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, what is the solution? Simple; cut Social ties you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care for, and promote the ones you do care for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Money is solidified care energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc Let me say that I spend $100 for a gift for a present for a friend; what am I really doing here? Essentially, money is solidified care energy; what that means is if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m willing to sacrifice $100, for present for my friend\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 It is signaling true care for that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also why in Asian cultures, it is common to just give people cash presents, cash money in envelope, or even gold or gold rings, because typically speaking, the more money you give us a gift, the more you are signaling that you actually care for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, one of my best friends Kevin, almost on the clock every single year, for my birthday\/Christmas always purchases me an outlier.NYC black merino wool T-shirt, which is like over $100 now. Truth be told, it is a very generous present, especially for a T-shirt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s done this for almost 5 years now; I think I have about at least five black Merino wool outlier.nyc shirts from him ,,, almost all of which have been torn to shreds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even my best man Justin, seeing that I was in lack of shirts clothing, Also purchased me a three pack of Outlier.nyc shirts — over $300 just as a present! True skin in the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nHow time is more valuable of a present than money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think the reason why carving out time to spend time with people is the ultimate gift and present is with money, you could always print more of it, or earn more of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, it is easy to earn 100 bucks, impossible to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153add\u00e2\u20ac\u009d another year to your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why honestly speaking\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Time life and energy is the ultimate scarce, nonrenewable good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, even if you were a trillionaire with access to the best fitness lifestyle, weight lifting equipment, pasture raised grass fed food beef meat etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 No matter how rich you are you cannot live to be 2000 years old. I think the world record for a man living is 122 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly there are simple things that you could do to live close to the biological maximum which includes intermittent fasting, no breakfast no lunch only dinner\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Quitting alcohol which is toxic in Nidos, not smoking marijuana, quitting sugar starches and carbohydrates, not taking any medication, etc. Mostly a via negativa thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But certainly there are some potency issues here; for example, no matter how intelligent wise are rich I am, very dubious that I will be lifting 1000 pounds on my shoulders at the age of 110. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcOr producing more children at the age of 100. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monetary energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A lot of people make the simple trade of trading time and life for money. But the second you go out and buy the Porsche 911, the cyber truck, the new Toyota truck or SUV, the new Lexus whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You are immediately depleting your life energy and force!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, it is insane\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I look at the prices for these new trucks, I am befuddled; Toyota tundra or Tacoma truck can cost up to $80,000? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc the second that you buy that $80,000 vehicle\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You immediately deplete $80,000 worth of your Lifeforce energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or, another thought– this is where I am starting to become a great investor thinker; even though I could afford to buy 10 cyber beasts, I look at the cyber truck, let it say that it cost around $100,000, that is otherwise energy and money Lifeforce you could put it into bitcoin, which will easily double, 10 X, 100 X, or even 1000 X 13 years from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like to think by the time Seneca turns 15 years old; when he will have a drivers permit, and be able to drive. This is only a few years from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your time horizon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think the reason why a lot of middle-aged or older guys go out and buy the Porsche 911 convertible or whatever or the Porsche GT three, GT three RS, whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Is it is a signal and assign that they are about to die, or the end is coming close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in your late 60s, early 70s, I think the way that most people think is that they have another 20 years of living, I think most people think that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to die maybe in the 80s or 90s. Therefore people think \u00e2\u20ac\u0153why the hell not?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, I think when it comes down to it what we see is economic immortality. Through your children, and through the energy wealth and power you transferred to them, and hopefully you want to keep growing the chest for three or five or 10 generations from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We off the grid grid grid this for my kid kids kids — for when my kids kids kids have kids\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 – Ye\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Still today, I think people have a hard time thinking about generational wealth, or think about future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? I think it is focused too much about individualistic hedonism; for example buying the Lamborghini with a scissor doors is almost like the ultimate hedonistic ejaculation? But what we all know is after a big massive blowing your load\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What is the next step? You take a very big nap or deep sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to nap or sleep? What if you want to conserve all of your Lifeforce energy, to the maximum? And then you conserve your Lifeforce energy! Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do energy suicide<\/strong>.\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us examine the first principles for balls, testicles, semen, sexual intercourse etc.; it is not for pleasure, it is for impersonating a woman and begetting children!\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc Are people fools and overlook this? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Better to be the beast in the Prius, rather than be the weakling in a cyber beast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think I am perhaps the most manly, masculine, alpha male type presenting individual that I know who drives a Prius!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why I call a reverse flex; the best way to exert your dominance and wealth and riches is not by presenting how expensive or rare or powerful or muscular or allowed your car\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 But rather, your body your muscles your whole persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you are at a wedding, who is loudest, most boisterous, the most socially dominant person is certainly the alpha. At a wedding nobody knows or cares about what car you drive; same when you go to the mall or the gym, your hiking, or in any social circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc***<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check me out!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are a man and you want to be checked out, either by other men or by women\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Just buy a 60 pound weight vest and walk around town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
