So I thought I had this morning: all beauty, all beautiful everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what does this mean, why does it matter, then how do we apply it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, the general strategy and the idea is, just get rid of Glynis from your eyes. In your house you\u2019re home, you environment, people around you etc. Ugliness is both metaphorical, physical, and physiological.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I am anti-war and killing people. However war as a metaphor, I believe the word bonus, and also may be beauty, beautiful\u2026 Actually comes from the Latin, bellum, which means war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the first thought we could have is, all these vehicles, that look like they\u2019re ready for war, our essentially\u2026 Beautiful in the sense that, they convey strength, ability to cause damage? For example, I think the reason why the AMG g wagon is like the de facto car of Los Angeles, is that it is essentially looks like a mini military vehicle, and the very interesting insight that I have is that looks like, 95% of these people who drive the all Matte Black murdered out G wagons,,, are actually\u2026women?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also another interesting trend that I\u2019ve been noticing, is that the cyber truck seems like than you\u2026 Minivan, SUV car for these moms who send their kids to private schools? And it kind of makes sense because\u2026 If you\u2019re a woman, you can often feel a little bit unprotected, and therefore the idea of driving some sort of armored vehicle, makes these soccer moms feel more secure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the first thought I have is, question\u2026 Who is the most beautiful person at the gym? The strongest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s hilarious is, the gymnasium is like a beauty pageant for men. Everyone is seeking supremacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until you have seen somebody stack 10 plates on each side of the barbell\u2026 You ain\u2019t seen nothing. And this is why my infamous 1,000 pound atlas lift at the gym (I can now easily do over 2,000 pounds with my \u201cGOD LIFT\u201d,) .. attracted so much attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So as kind of a mental shortcut, a lot of people seem like, they use automobile cars as a shortcut for power of beauty and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, there seems to be a reverse principal here, whenever you see somebody pop out of one of those funny lifted F150 raptors, they are always some sort of Shorty guy. Same thing when you see people in lifted offloading over landing vehicles\u2026 Either average height like 5 foot seven, or, dudes were kind of skinny fit, all who look the same, with the beard, dark tinted sunglasses, a hat,\ufffc a flannel shirt, maybe tattoos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So Nietzsche said, ultimately it is the will to power which dominates all biological creatures as well as humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think he\u2019s mostly right, and the funny thing is, I don\u2019t really disagree with him. I think for me, what\u2019s interesting is uncovering these hidden nuances to his theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also said something interesting was, that the new aristocracy of the future, the ruling class, would actually be poorer,,, but more in control?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, it is better to be a mini bitcoin millionaire with 100% control of your life than a trillionaire with 0% control over your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I think what\u2019s very interesting is, the deeper that I delve into financial philosophy and theory\u2026 The truth is, it is not money that we seek, but rather\u2026 capital, and even more interesting, collateral –> digital collateral, bitcoin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll give you an example, the simplest protocol is the Coinbase \u201cborrow\u201d feature, in which let\u2019s say you buy 21 bitcoins, for like $1.5 million, then, you could essentially post your bitcoin as collateral, and then, withdraw or cash out or \u201cborrow\u201d against your bitcoin, \u2026 the capital you already \ufffcown,,, and boom within like 30 seconds you get $1 million in USDC, which you could instantly wire into your bank account or trade it or invest in other stuff or just finance your lifestyle etc. And what super interesting is because you are essentially borrowing against your own capital\u2026 It is not a taxable event<\/strong>. \ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n So then, assuming that you\u2019re like a Stoic Spartan like myself, \ufffc\u2026 and you don\u2019t really have any need for money, the ideal strategy is actually\u2026 Like set a hard amount like let\u2019s say, $5000 USD a month for living expenses, and you can borrow against your bitcoin for only like 4.5% APY, and you essentially indefinitely borrow against your bitcoin and essentially never pay taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think this is kind of a hard concept for people to understand because, before bitcoin, And also perhaps before Coinbase, this strategy was only available to the .00001% elite, who were essentially able to talk to the bankers, either post their Microsoft stock as collateral, or their real estate as collateral, borrow against their assets, \ufffc get the cash, and once again\u2026 Never have to actually sell their precious scarce desirable assets, but still, get the cash?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways, I think the reason why this matters is because, money is like oxygen, you cannot live without it<\/strong>. \ufffc\ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n So I think also a big one is, and this may be where, maybe\u2026 I could actually be a great service to humanity is, I think like 99.9% of investing, especially in bitcoin, and other crypto related assets, is conquering your fears, and also, being able to maintain a calm stoic Zen mental and physical protocol, especially as the market swings are insanely violent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If anything else I was thinking about,.. this morning, can you imagine if you were like a samurai, or, a Spartan hoplite, or one of king Leonidas 300\u2026 and the night prior, trying to calm your nerves, get a good night sleep, getting ready for the battle tomorrow morning, in which actually, you could die?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyways, I think the first obvious step is, beautifying your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The funny thing is also it\u2019s free. \ufffc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I thought I had this morning: all beauty, all beautiful everything.
