So it looks like I’m getting back into my philosophical self, this is a great idea: my general idea is, the point of life is not difficulty overcoming whatever… But rather, a life of maximum ease?
The subtlety and the new ones is, it is out of strength and abundance… Everything you do is slow and unhurried, no resistance, no panic, no annoyance.
it’s a sense of ease that comes out of abundance. 
How and why
I don’t think all the money in the world is worth one night’s lost sleep. I would rather be an ERIC KIM sleeping a glorious 9 to 12 hours a night, unbothered, unhurried… Enjoying my bitcoin, enjoying the sunny southern California sun, weightlifting topless, barbecuing in my backyard, thinking philosophy writing philosophy and artwork… And empowering others without annoyance to myself. To never have to entertain meetings, drive and be stuck in traffic, or seek money from others. Because I have bitcoin for that. 
How and why
In Taoism, “Wu-Wei”, essentially means action without strained effort. That means you never force anything you just do things naturally, unhurried and unrushed.
For example, you don’t need to force gravity to force water down a stream it just does it. Also you don’t have to force a tree to grow just give it some sunshine, water, and it will naturally grow.
Having to force things in the American sense is foolish. And also, seeking some sort of self glorification through pain and suffering and overcoming is indecent.  pain and suffering and overcoming is for slaves, the master lives at ease.
Economics
And the nuance is you don’t have to be a trillionaire,  or even a billionaire. Even if you are a modest millionaire you’re good. 
Ease for the greater good
So my big idea is, it’s not to just live an easy degenerate lifestyle, but rather, for you to maintain your productivity simply an unhurried unpanicky tempo.
I mean if you think about it the long game… Even Elon ,,, if he were really smart, he would, prioritize his health his sleep his exercise fitness because once again, if we’re really gonna go to Mars and beyond… You gotta be sustainable in terms of your own physical health for like the next 30 years.
Why in such a rush
I think a lot of fools think that they are being wise by rushing?
I mean certainly, time and life is like the most scarce resource. But at the same time, it is the quality of time which matters.
For example, you would not want to live another 40 years if you’re only sleeping like one or two hours a night in the worst pain and physical ability. It would actually be preferable to live only like maybe another 20 years, although with insanely great joy, mood and resources.
Burning the candle by both ends
I think the worst evils on this planet include sugar, drugs, other stuff which tricks you into thinking you’re being more productive but in actuality you’re not.
noble pace
In fact, how do you know if somebody’s actually really really successful? I call this my “yacht walk”; essentially you’re walking insanely slow, unhurried. It’s kind of liking that Justin Timberlake in Time movie, in which all the rich people walk super slow and it is the poor people who are rushing around.
towards what ends?
I think the ultimate purpose of life is art, art creation. It’s not to simply be a curator or a collector, but the artist him or herself, creating the art. 
It’s wonderful that in today’s world, you have like the ultimate artistic ability. You can create art with anything in instantaneously for free, with your iPhone iPad, digital camera whatever.
And also, you have infinite scale ability in terms of distribution, zero marginal distribution cost because digital things can be copied for free.
And once again… A lot of people think what they want is to gain money from their artwork but it is not an effective strategy, the better strategy is to simply invest in bitcoin or MSTR… Or if you’re really ballsy, MSTU what is 2X levered long MSTR. or like 4x bitcoin.
I’ll say this again, if you just want to make a bunch of money, just build the foundation on bitcoin. Art art creation, art propagation is rather an ethos, an Autotelic goal,,, which you do it for the sake of it because you’re so overfull of creative energy,… and you MUST give birth to your art!
