“Let’s cut the bullshit, Aurthur. I’m from Pittsburgh, and now I own skyscrapers. Unlike you, I wasn’t given my billions. I took ‘em.”

My “problem” is that I believed the movies I saw as a kid. The shit you get inspired by is the emotional truth, but not the logical truth. You can live your dreams, if you do the hard work of aligning the logical truth with your emotional truth.

You can either optimize your deep seeded beliefs & feelings or you can shift your core focus to something better. Both have the same effect, if sustained.

I’ve long been a minimalist and still largely am, but I’ve grown to enjoy having a home environment of warm character. In the past, my places used to be notoriously bare. Now, I enjoy filling it with stuff that makes me feel more comfortable & inspired. Done strategically, this actually does improve mindset for happiness, compared to a bare place or a randomly cluttered place. Think of designing your home as making a visual experience that reflects the most pleasurable & comfortable parts of your own personal identity that you feel connected to.

A decent number of business peeps use the concept of USP (unique selling proposition) like it’s religion. They’ll qualify businesses, products, campaigns by zeroing in on the question… What’s the USP? …like it’s always meaningful. It’s a total noob mindset towards marketing. I’ve even heard marketing execs pull this shit out of their ass, like they’re talking from an old corporate marketing textbook. I sum up marketing through the concepts of value & influence, and there’s a whole bunch more variables of impact beyond USP going on. Relying on USP is like relying on your job title to get a person to marry you and have your children.

Have you ever had someone commit a felony crime against you where you let it slide because you loved them?

I’m a nice kid with a really naughty mind, so I’m not always that nice.

I feel like I’m on spring vacation right now. Sunny afternoon. Women’s tennis. Happiness.

Here’s my current business path… Algo IM » Dealmaker U » Private Equity

Altruism is simply feeling good about doing good for others. However, at the core of it is still self-interest, cause a person wouldn’t do it if it didn’t feel good to them or the perceived alternative wasn’t worse for them. True altruistic motives only exist in fairy tales. More insight in this note.

Everything’s in the past. Now what do you want to experience in life?

Some people don’t trust rich people because they think they’re greedy and money hungry (as if these are bad things). I don’t trust people who reject those with money and then spend their whole life working hard in order to receive money from the rich person who pays them. They’re like vampires who deny it but feed off of you anyway. Being openly self-interested is a stance of honesty & integrity. Don’t bullshit about your nature.

Throughout the past, traditional peeps have offered me a nice normal lifestyle. I often laughed in their face. I wasn’t laughing at them. I was laughing at the notion of a traditional lifestyle for me. I could either vomit or laugh, so I’ve chosen to laugh.

Thinking is like breathing to me. It takes no effort and I can’t shut it off.

Most all internet marketers & small entrepreneurs could really up their game with some more expertise in finance & analytics.

When you were growing up, graduating school, and deciding what to do as a career, did you choose to become a rich person? If not, then why? …Too hard? Didn’t know how? Didn’t think of it? Wasn’t exciting? …Have you since decided to become rich or do you prefer to work for money indefinitely?

Is it easier for new age people or greedy capitalists to get predictably rich in today’s world? Which is a more bankable mindset, compassion & abundance or strategy & self-interest?

You’re either self-expressed or self-repressed. You can fool yourself, but not me.

Can I fuck your mother? I’ll pay. Pleeeeease!

People always talk about wanting to get paid to do their passion, but tying your personal income to your personal reputation is one of the quickest ways to kill your personal freedom. It’s self-expression suicide.

Here’s a fun comparison of the general roles in real world commerce with the characters in The Matrix films…

- Employee = People inside the Matrix, who can’t get beyond the lowest level of reality

- Pro Employee = Neo the hacker inside the Matrix, who climbs further in the established system

- Self-Employed = Oracle, who is independent and wiser than those in the Matrix but not very personally effective

- Self-Employed Pro = Keymaker, who works hard but can manually open many doors/opportunities effectively

- Entrepreneur = Morpheus, who has big vision but tries to scale up his impact by blind crystal ball faith

- Pro Entrepreneur = Architect, who possess scalable leverage and precision engineers the entire system of the Matrix

- Law Enforcement = Agents, who infinitely multiply and keep the balance of power in favor of the machines

- Central Bank = Machine AI, who dominates the earth and feeds off of virtually all individual humans without consent

Usually, people’s true beliefs are much wiser than their momentary thoughts, which are much wiser than their words for describing them. However, there are also very truly unwise minds in the world, as well as minds that can consistently think & communicate their deeper wisdom with greater accuracy. That said, I aspire to be more dumb.

People sometimes like super polished things as short-term experiences, but usually won’t want to regularly live with them for the long-term. We like some authentic grunge & rough edges mixed in, because it better represents our own internal identities, and feels more comfortable, like home.

What would happen if you made more of your private self public? Would you be able to experience more or less of what you truly enjoy in your one short lifetime? Why so scared?

Female hockey players are tall with their skates on and super hot, because, in today’s world, are lean & feminine looking but also aggressive & athletic tomboys. Yum.

Tall female tennis stars are hotter than porn stars, because they are tall, dominant, feminine, athletic goddesses that you can’t have. Bonus points if Eastern European!

Us humans love both fucking & making love. We love sex as sport & as intimacy. You can get the basics of these through a traditional monogamous marriage, or you can structure your life differently and open yourself up to much more pleasure & love while you exist as a human being. Stepping back, and reflecting upon your humanity & one short lifetime, which path inspires you the most? Do you want more than just the norm?

Along with being a boy, I have a lot of girl psychology inside me. I’m surprised I wasn’t born a hermaphrodite.

As part of our innate drive for human connection, we have desires to possess & be possessed by others.

Personal desire will perpetually throw the balance of society off. We are inherently self-interested pain/pleasure animals. This is a good thing with some bad effects.

Everything done is “activity”.

“Work” is activity with the purpose of producing an outcome that is desired.

“Play” is activity with the purpose of directly experiencing one’s end desires.

In a cause/effect context, by definition, all work is always at least one step removed from the experience you really want.

In real world life, work & play are intermixed, especially when analyzed on a micro level of activity.

One can certainly do work while in a pleasurable state of mind.

However, spending more time in life doing activities that are play will likely create more pleasure/happiness within a person, as opposed to activities that are work.

Finally, an activity that is “work” to one person can be “play” to another person, and vice versa.

So my objective in life is to only do work to effectively enable more play.

Computer programming is like painting with logic. With both, you are free to directly create upon a blank canvas as you please.

People usually don’t go from sexually straight to bisexual through visual attraction. It is more often discovered through scenarios of intimate human connection, maybe tied to a specific sexual activity. For me, I’m a guy who’s still exclusively attracted to the fairer sex, but, after deep analysis, I do believe that we are all pansexuals underneath. I say this as a psychologist.

I love learning but still have to do a lot of it for short-term achievement purposes. I can’t wait until I can upgrade my own long-term curiosities to a higher priority.

The strong sensations of pleasure & happiness you felt as a kid are really sharp indicators for you to use today. Your childhood can still be mined for total happiness gold. I so wish I was using HappyBits as a kid, compared to just going by memory & photos.

I really impress myself sometimes with the naughty hedonistic social pleasures I invent inside of this twisted little mind. My life experience is going to be super unique throughout the future! I’m designing it so in my factory of pleasure.

I used to feel a lot more guilty about not being super productive on a daily basis. Over time, I then really ‘got’ the lesson that a lot of pursuits don’t workout and get scrapped, especially with casual strategy & assumptions. Now, I invest a lot more care into optimizing strategy & assumptions, so that I can up my success/failure ratio. I’m also now fine with not always working hard in a traditional way.

Since my personal transformation, I’ve allowed myself to freely express my internal thoughts without filtering. By doing this in constant repetition, especially through these notes on my website, I’ve become really good at formulating my detailed personal thoughts for outward communication. Before this phase, I always had a lot of thoughts & feelings that were stuck inside of me, which I couldn’t express accurately. It feels really good to self-express freely & accurately.

It sucks that for many good-natured, unharmful people to live their lives optimally in a “free” country, they have to contemplate strategically evading the law.

Who gives a shit what you do with your life on earth, since you have an eternity in paradise. You’ve got an infinite number of lifetimes to kill. I’m jealous. I have to actually make mine count, since it’s all I am certain I’ve got.

Is your food itself biologically healthy? Is it even organically real? Or is much of it synthetic or modified? If your food is not in good natural health itself, then what makes you think that you’ll continue to be by putting more of it into your body?

If you had to choose between enjoying your health or enjoying your food, which would you pick? Which one are you already doing with each typical meal?

The purpose of food to the human body is to put enough of the right nutrition inside of you to effectively operate its processes and replace itself on the cellular level. Without the proper substances of nutrition, and with a bunch of bad chemicalized food products, your body’s internal processes won’t ever complete properly.

Your body will literally become the synthetic chemicalized crap that’s in your twinkie, compared to the organic building blocks of fresh natural fruits & vegetables. Over time, your body will breakdown from decay & disease much more rapidly, and you’ll live with a lot more bodily sickness & pain as you age.

So which would you choose? Enjoyment of health or food? What could you do so that you can truly enjoy both? Me…I like my fruit/veggie smoothies made in my blender. I call them my “concoctions”, because I’m like a mad scientist with them.

If you think about it, real food is stuff that naturally comes from the earth in whole form.

In the 20th century the corporate food industry, national distribution, mass marketing, & applied chemistry all boomed. Instead of getting natural whole foods from the earth to eat, like in previous centuries, we now got manufactured “food products”, which are often a processed mix of genetically modified foods/animals + chemical substances intermixed. It’s often no longer real original food as it always was throughout human history.

Why is this practice done of producing fake foods?

- Controllable & efficient mass manufacturing
- New appealing varieties of food products
- Longer shelf life to sell more before natural spoiling occurs

…in order to make more profit, and because that’s now what people want to buy.

But there’s no way that the science of medicine/biology can credibly certify all this modified food crap is truly safe or nutritious within such a brief period of history. More & more of it is consistently being proven to have damaging effects to the body. So I now view my food’s health through the concepts of it being organic & whole to get away from the modified & chemicalized food product crap. I think about it going from seed, to ground, to mouth naturally and am skeptical of all added processes & treatment of it.

Even just simply going to any restaurant introduces a bunch of variables for potential failure points of the health of one’s food.

Instead of simply thinking about the health of your body, it is wise to think about the actual health of your food.

Proper laws can and should be crafted based on the innate rights and personal desires of the individual. Done properly, it accounts for all social & institutional interaction, while maintaining maximal individual liberty. Far too often, our societies’ laws make broad strokes of predetermined judgment upon human activities that are often personally and consensually desired by all parties involved. This is often due to the motives of forced morality and social norms by those who desire to control the personal and consensual activities of other people’s lives.
