The funny thought is perhaps… The best place to do nature nature stuff ,,, is in nature while in nature? Assuming you have a cellular connection

 the more fake you go, the more real you must also go? 

OK so the trillion dollar question is, what is power? And also… How does one gain more of it, etc?

So I think the basic idea is people think that power is money but this is actually not necessarily true. Perhaps the deeper insight is capital is power. 

For example capital could be like owning gold, valuable real estate, or the most Apex of them all, owning bitcoin– which is the true digital capital of the 22nd century and beyond.

OK some unorthodox stoic thoughts this morning.

So the first one, should you share your feelings or what you think? Or what’s on your mind whatever?

I actually say no. I’ve actually been thinking about this a lot and experimenting a lot but the truth is, at the end of the day, all this modern day psychology nonsense tells you how it is good for you to share what’s on your mind blah blah blah. But all the ancient stoic texts tell us otherwise.

First, I think the critical issue is that male psychology gets mixed up with female psychology. A lot of our emotions or hormonal, and therefore, a man will never truly understand the interstate of a woman, and vice versa.

For example, a man will never know what it feels like to experience a menstrual cycle, but also similarly, a woman can and never will be able to understand the adrenaline hormonal rushes of a truly formidable man.

Kind of like if you think about it… How and why a child that has not get in puberty, a young boy would also, not understand the hormonal adrenaline testosterone rushes of a fully matured man.

Low testosterone man, probably also, cannot and should not understand the psychology or the physiology or mind state of a high testosterone man?

So contrary to popular belief, assuming you’re not taking steroids or injecting your butt hole with testosterone injections, similarly speaking, naturally or artificially low testosterone men will also similarly never understand the mind state or the soul state or the body physiology state of a high testosterone man.

A bit common misconception is that there’s this notion that somehow, high testosterone men are unpredictable, getting angry quickly. Etc. But this is actually not the case. A true man, a true man with high testosterone natural, is actually, like almost 100% joyful grateful, always smiling, fresh and happy you look on his face, never dismayed or down by artificial ups and downs of life.

And therefore, the low testosterone man will have never seen sunlight in his life, and is essentially an office slave, will look suspiciously at the high testosterone man, who is full of goalie and Joy. He will then start to suspect the high testosterone man for being conniving, with ulterior motives, up to no good. But the high testosterone man was simply, be doing what is natural to him, because he is just so naturally super abundant and over abundant with happiness joy and glee.

And the truth is, I feel like 99.9999% of society cannot understand me because, truly speaking… When’s the last time you met somebody who is both self-employed but also, not under the whim of his clients? Or, somebody like myself who doesn’t need to check his email for a living? Or take meetings? And therefore, I’m like the red Swan, nobody understands me but also similarly speaking, I cannot understand other people?

Other perspectives

So essentially my general idea and Takeaway point is, go back to the classics, go back to reading Seneca, Nietzsche, Marcus Aurelius and the like. Avoid the new and modern, it is all bad.

OK some thoughts:

First, one thing that’s actually insanely annoying is, thinking how in America there is this nonsense called notion of “personal space”, I’m actually not 100% sure where it comes from.

First, the notion is actually kind of nonsense call especially if you’re Asian, or grew up in Asia, or any other really really crowded city, in which jostling and jiving,,, and trying to tarry for position is key. Just try to go to Vietnam, mainland China etc.

So first, maybe it is this weird, Puritan Protestant Quaker, early American colonialist, Victorian era. In where there are pseudo manners, in which, people keep their distance, engage as minimally as possible, and this kind of fake notion of maximal personal freedom comes to play.

As a consequence, society becomes lame, cold, And otherwise unenjoyable.   this is typically why most Americans although probably living in the most prosperous country of all time, are quite miserable.

Who?

So first of all, to some degree everyone is “ethnic.” whether you are Jewish, Irish, German Polish, even if you descended from England, Scotland, if you’re Protestant or Catholic or Baptist or something else… Sooner or later if you go back enough in genealogy, your ancestors were repressed by the king or whatever.

And what’s kind of interesting is, apparently my friend who taught a course in France to a bunch of undergrads when they asked about race,… actually what super fascinating is there, a lot of people talk about bloodline, whether they were blue blooded, descended from nobility in Kings, or whether, they descended from a bunch of country bumpkins.

For example, race racism doesn’t exist in Korea because everyone is Korean. Rather, it comes down to whether you are “yangban” or not –> which is the elite aristocratic class a scholarly Mandarin or not.

Anyways, the reason I’m thinking about this is because, is I’m starting to re-transition my life back in America, it’s full of all these strange structure juxtapositions and contradictions that literally make no sense. Even from a sociological angle.

“why you so sensitive”?

So in America, I think first of all… Everyone is living in fear. Fear of the next lawsuit, the next to whatever thing… And as a consequence, nobody engages with each other. In LA, ironically where we live in entertainment Hollywood capital of the world, it is actually not customary to just smile and wave Hyatt strangers, people just pretend to live in their own bubbles, even though everyone is secretly looking for attention.

For example everyone here wants to be “discovered”, even yesterday in Beverly Hills I saw like a line of like 40 girls all wearing the same black tank top and blue jeans, for a casting call.

With physical proximity comes emotional proximity

Maybe everyone is just afraid of emotional attention and affirmation and feelings?
