  • How to keep it moving!

    A philosopher is somebody who turns movement like movement into thoughts and prose

    People are socialized into doing funny things

    Surprisingly, I actually feel insanely Zen walking through Manhattan? Because maybe… I just need a small dose of chaos and stimulation to wake me up?

    Tomorrow is going to be a great day!

    Grand divisions for myself? Fifth Avenue thoughts.

    I feel like I’ve been enlightened? Share enlightened thoughts

    Expansion, digital expansion is the goal?

    Maybe the whole time I’ve just been a little bit un or under stimulated?

    What’s more interesting?

    Digital cameras, digital cameras are cool

    Like my first time?

    New challenges, new conquests

    It seems pretty obvious? Do obvious things?

    High key photography

    To increase your self-confidence?

    When did I get such big muscles?

    With this body I can move the world? Just focus on your body, everything comes naturally

    Always allow yourself to become more strange and unorthodox?

    Banks and capital run the planet

  • Autotelic Street photography

    Actually surprisingly… 99.9% of my joy is just having the privilege and the freedom and joy of just being out in the city and the streets , out and about walking around, thinking?

  • Manhattan, New York City as the greatest walking city of all time?

    where all pedestrians run the show… Surprisingly, I think I could also live a happy life here? Just walking around all day thinking, philosophizing?

  • Truth seeking

    AirPods Pro is a good idea in New York Ci

    Jose Barrera

    AI is overhyped, bitcoin is under hyped

    So much concentrated wealth in New York City… Being in Manhattan or living in Manhattan is like living in a bitcoin?

     the point of life is to be outside!

    Who pays taxes? Not Batman!!!

    Just don’t pay taxes?

    But borrow die

    I’m a bitcoin banker?

    Every day wake up, walking morning, meditation 

  • my new life goal is designing and making the perfect T-shirt?

    because I have already designed my perfect hundred percent linen black tank top…

  • what is misery? Misery is suffering

    good for me, I don’t suffer at all!

  • the perfect climate

    what’s interesting about climate is… You could have super sublimely perfect climate and weather like Los Angeles… 73° and sunny with a slight breeze…yet,,, this alone is not the conditions of happiness.

    yet,,, certainly if you’re a -150°, you’re gonna be insanely miserable.

    so:

    1. The perfect weather doesn’t add happiness to you
    2. Poor weather makes you miserable

    so question,,, is there a link between happiness and misery? Because these things are not antipodes,… being happy is not the opposite of being miserable.

    so then,,, what is “happiness” and is it a goal or direction we should strive towards?

    Subtracting misery is still a good strategy

    Still —> strive to subtract misery from your life and miserable people… And then when you don’t have that distraction, then you could focus on better things in life.

    then also, be very careful the company you keep. If you smell misery from a mile away, keep away! Extreme caution!

  • seeking wisdom

    my interesting life goal

  • MOVEment is happiness

    So some quick simple thoughts: 

    First, movement is god supreme.  anything that encourages movement for yourself your kids your family, your spouse is supremely good.

    Second, I believe that the movement should and must be physiological nature whether it be peddling your bike, walking or hiking, lifting weights, etc. I think the supreme problem about cars and automobiles is that, there is a disconnect between driving and your physiology, unless maybe if you’re driving stick shift? At least with stick shift I suppose you’re getting more blood flow by push pushing the clutch on the far left, and also shifting gears?

    good movement, bad movement?

    Concentration.

    Another thought, this is, that, perhaps also… Concentration is happiness.

    So Mihalay C calls it a “flow” state, in which your concentration is so focused in a virtuous way that, everything else fades away. It is the moment of maximum physiological concentration, and supreme joy. 

    Some people also call a meditation, but for myself, the reason why I perhaps do not like the notion of meditation so much is that, there’s maybe too much American cultural baggage behind it? Like for example, there’s always the vision of like, the Buddhist monk, sitting in a lotus pose, in which you have to just sit still and calm calm your mind whatever. But for myself, I’m actually the most focused and concentrated when I’m actually moving, lifting insanely heavyweights, mountain biking, and even hiking etc. Typically my general idea is, focus concentration requires also, some sort of physiological skin in the game.
