Certainly we already know that “perfect” doesn’t exist, but I think the constant pursuit of forever perfect perfection is a good one?
LEXUS GOALS
I think the motto of Lexus is the pursuit of perfection. And it is super interesting because Toyota Lexus is like perhaps the best notion of Kaizen, applied to our everyday reality.
For example, in the early days… Japanese cars were seen as very very unreliable subpar. Nobody wanted a Japanese car, let alone a Toyota or Honda. But she through diligence, constant consideration, maybe after like 30 or 40 years in the game, then Toyota now has the bedrock Idea that a Toyota is inherently reliable and good.
Even the nut job Alex Jones, who I think most people think of like some sort of extreme right wing conspiracy theorist, even he himself says that he has a Toyota pick up truck, and they are designed an engine engineered to last forever.
Lexus is interesting because I think I actually… Average person doesn’t know that Alexey is just a Toyota on steroids. Toyota was very wise in creating a new luxury brand of Lexus, with rappers like Jay-Z and Eminem wrapping about its virtues.
Even in today’s world, upon deep consideration, and I think about this a lot, as of right now I’d still do probably believe that Lexus is born on the best automobile vehicle on the road. Certainly Toyota is also a heavyweight, but if you want better noise isolation and refinement, And assuming the money is not an option, then Lexus is your best bet. It’s like if you took all the reliability of a Toyota, and then improve the handling, noise isolation, comfort, quality of materials… It is like 1 trillion times nicer than any other vehicle.
Even I was shocked, at Newport Beach at the Lexus experience center I just jumped into a random Lexus car, and I was shocked that the quality of the interior materials is like 1 billion times nicer than any Tesla car. Certainly the Tesla is the more innovative interesting car, but I think you just want The best car, a Lexus hybrid is still probably your best bet. The new Lexus ES looks phenomenal, and I’m sure the new Lexus LS will look mind blowing.
If I was a yakuza leader, or some mafia Dan, it still makes sense to just get like an all white Lexus LS hybrid. Maximum Braun and luxury, comfort, and also the best MPG’s. Even if you have an unlimited budget, Alexey LS Hybrid is still probably superior to a Bentley, Rolls-Royce, simply from the MPG angle; because nobody wants to waste time having to fill up their tank all the time.
Also why Hybrid over electric?
I love electric cars but they make me feel a little carsick? Hybrid cars or gas cars, feel more steady?
And also once again, if we aim for practicality, even in California, you do not want an all electric car. Too much of a hassle when you’re dealing with road trips, you don’t want to be chained to an electric charging super charger station.
And still, it’s either Tesla or nothing when it comes to electric cars. I don’t think anybody should ever buy a non-Tesla electric car. Simply because of the infrastructure.
Weight lifting
Just hit a new personal record in my rack pool, an impressive 1010 pounds! The simple secret: using a weightlifting dip belt comma and using a chain or a strong nylon attachment to wrap around the bar, to give you additional leverage, effectively transforming the rock pool into like an elevated hip thrust lift?
And what’s super interesting about this approach is that there’s almost like no strain on any of your joints and ligaments? It’s like the ultimate leveraged lift, with like practically zero chance of injury?
I’m actually quite certain that if I continue training, I’ll be able to do a 2000 pound version of this in the future?
Anyways, weightlifting has been an interesting journey for me because when I started off at like 12 years old, being a fat kid from Bayside Queens, running around with rocks in my backpack like my friend Spencer dearly remembers, and then getting some dumbbells, lifting weights, and becoming the strongest of my friends. Also a good ideas when I figure out that I could stack two dumbbells on top of one, to even increase the weight. I first recall doing this with two 25 pound dumbbells, effectively transforming the dumbbell into a 50 pounder. 
Anyways, I’ve been through a lot of different techniques, starting off bodybuilding, strength training, one rep Max powerlifting, innovating my hype lifting concept, and now, Even discovered something even more new and innovative?
Essentially the simple idea is that you want to be creative and intelligently increase your leverage, to be able to reduce your range of motion, use the strongest part of your body to lift the maximum amount of weight.
So generally speaking, I think for most humans, our strongest lever or fulcrum or part of our body is our hips. I think you be strap on a weightlifting belt to any human, and simply suspended a heavy weight in between their legs, most people will probably do the best lifting the weight with their Hips! In fact there are these new weightlifting machines which are optimized to do that. Only reason I don’t think they have gone mainstream is that the machines are fringe products, and it hasn’t simply had enough exposure?
And also the problem about most American weightlifters, is that they are all now addicted to social media Instagram etc. And the big problem about this is once again, like 100% of these guys are on steroids, and everyone is trying to put on a show to impress others, but the reason why this is foolish is that it prevents people from innovating because they are trying to simply just do what everyone else do, ironically enough even though America is supposed to scene as the country of innovation, most people are sheeple.
Why simple heuristic is this: trust no weightlifter who is on Instagram.  Why? There is a hidden incentive to maximize their sensationalism which will eventually probably lead them to taking some sort of weird drugs.
Maybe this is also where it is wise to not trust any sort of buff guys who are in Hollywood movies because once again because they’re livelihood depends on it, they’re obviously all going to take steroids to look super jacked on the big screen.
Finances
So it seems pretty obvious now that bitcoin is like money perfected. It is not gold because you cannot magically transport gold on the cloud, you cannot walk through an airport security TSA scanner with a brick of gold in your pocket. But you could have millions of dollars in bitcoin, in your metaphorical wallet.
Bitcoin is the new financial game?
He who dies with the most bitcoin shall win.
The family with the most bitcoin in their war chest shall prosper.
The nation state with the most bitcoin in her reserves shall remain the most dominant.
Currently even now, we are all still thinking in US dollars. Why? It is like the new universal metric.
But, the end of the day, I thought you always want to have for yourself at the end of the year is this:
Do I have more bitcoin at the end of the year than I had the beginning of the year? 
It’s very exciting, Coinbase has now allowed you to essentially loan mortgage your bitcoin up to $1 million, so like roughly if you have 20 bitcoins, you could get around $900,000, ideally taking that cash to buy MSTR stock, or MSTR derivatives like MSTU, which actually outperform bitcoin, and then you could leverage your MSTR positions to enrich in yourself and your family, and also, buy more bitcoin.
I think like 20 or 30 years from now, there will be less talk about like what is your net worth, as denominated in US dollars. But rather,
“How many bitcoin do you own?”
Any and every bitcoin Max knows the first rule of bitcoin:
Never sell your bitcoin.
But then, using this as a creative constraint, provide lots of different opportunities like once again, these crypto back mortgages, to essentially not have to sell your bitcoin, but essentially mortgage out as collateral, which is a very intelligent idea because essentially you’re putting your bitcoin to work.
I think for myself, the simple way I think about it is like you bought a plot of land in Manhattan like eight years ago, and now finally, all these people are starting to know that Manhattan is like the most valuable real estate on the planet. As a consequence, People want some of your land, and are offering you some sort of new financial products.
The tricky thing here though is analogies are not perfect because if you think about things from first principles, bitcoin is like categorically different than anything we human have come up before.
For example we could use analogies that like bitcoin is digital gold, or digital real estate or whatever, but these analogies are also imperfect because it is so much more.
I think the reason why I love bitcoin so much is that the more I think about bitcoin, the more interesting it becomes. Isn’t this ultimate goal?
