Notes

Generation

God, tribe, and land

Physiological power is everything

The joy of creation

Why work? Why not play?

I don’t like the idea of “work” it’s play

Become lighter

Faith and courage in the future no matter what. It’s not superstitious it’s courage

When a wolf who is aggressive predator has babies it becomes nurturing – La lupa

You must be a little child before you enter the kingdom of heaven – you before you were ossified

Our choices make us who we are

Take the road less travelled

Strong street photography requires discipline and long term commitment.

Digging and searching for the meaning of life is like carving through an endless pit to nowhere? Like digging on a beach, and never striking water. Stop searching, and just let it flow towards you. 

Life is on the street

When people from the office come outside, after work, they always talk about he said, she said, office, drama, gossip, group, chats, comments, leaving notes, man versus woman talk. So strange.

Why do so many beautiful women smoke vapes?

If you ever want a free workshop or just hang out, you can always find me at the Eagle statue at 5:30. Every day except for Sunday. 

Amish family at the Wanamaker organ 

Couple meeting at the eagle statue. Woman sat next to me under the sculpture and told me she told her husband to meet her at the eagle statue in the macys at 5:30 with no other explanation.

I prefer walking aimlessly without any destination in mind

Sex is a biological function.

The lust for flesh is real. However, a base and primal instinct? It’s really not that exciting for pleasure hedonistically? Just something that sparks a physiological desire to reproduce 

The will to press the shutter. The will to produce. The will to photograph. 

Everyday you wake up with a blank slate

Become creative through boredom and observing the mundane

Monotheism unifies

I live in a building with 99% elderly people

When religion collapses it is replaced with the striving for power or the dominion of hedonism, especially on the sexual gratification front

If there is no unity that is future and community oriented, that is predicated on sacrifice, you get a dissolution immediately into contending for selfish hedonism towards my most base whims. “

“To do whatever I want whenever I want to”

Power and hedonism replaces what is holy

Nihilism, power, and hedonism

Jane Goodall said that we need to lower the population so we don’t upset Mother Nature?

Meaning is an incentive reward that occurs in relationship to advancement towards a goal. Which is a form of entropy minimization.

Entropy is the ultimate boss battle

Negative emotion signifies the emergence of entropy – Reaching goals signifies its reduction

Each step toward the goal

The sermon on the Mount is about striving towards the highest imaginable goal. It is the answer to the meaning of process

The religion of curiosity

Aim upwards

Everyone made in the image of god

Focus on the moment

Birth rate is below replacement

Out with The old in with the new

Forgiveness is critical

Turn the other cheek is good

Forgetfulness is a virtue

Eye for eye makes everyone blind

The all seeing eye of Horus is the antidote to the eye of Soren

If each citizen doesn’t use that vision it is replaced with the all seeing eye

The number one problem of our GENERATION

What is a child? Ignorance and inexperience. A child is every bit our equal.

Dream of me on a small ship. It crashes, the scene pans out, and I’m looking down at the ship. It was just a small popsicle stick. I reach down with my hand, pick it up, and put it back in the water

Weapons of mass distraction 

Imagine having to fight in World War II against the Nazis 

Why I’m so grateful to be walking

The privilege of being outside, movement, sunlight,

I saw a comedian on the street, and asked him what he thought about society. He told me that this is the greatest time to be alive. Back in the 80s barely anyone had a car. He said that this is the only time where you can see people coming out of planet fitness, wearing abeautiful yoga, clothes, nice butts, and even if you’re overweight, the clothes will force it into your clothing and make you look skinnier or nicer. He had a burger hat on. He was kind of funny 

Generation etymology, meaning to beget, to produce 

Ghetto music or Wanamaker organ. Why I appreciate both, but still limit music intake. Think of the gym, can you get your pump without the aid of music? 

Beautiful body, beautiful soul

What’s the “matter” a world of matter?

Metaphysical thinking 

Avoid the zombies

I don’t like horror movies 

You have to buy a diamond for a woman?
What if I just want to mine for diamonds myself? Capitalism is all for women, purchasing things for women, or woman buying things in general. Men don’t desire to buy things. At least I don’t.

Money can’t buy you a superhero physique

Anybody can attain a demigod body

The body is democratic

Every man should look like a demigod.

Don’t trust, unhealthy people?

Don’t feed the homeless?

Buying a cable for homeless guy after church. He demanded a longer one.

Growing up, feeding the homeless, packaged lunches, with my grandma. Strange Catholic ethics and virtues? They always announce to feed the homeless after church

Hedonism versus asceticism

At least you can make an aesthetically beautiful photograph with high contrast black-and-white small JPEG

Just please yourself

Make photos for yourself and one other person. A simply heuristic for anything you create

Share your joy with others

Be a bright star

Why I love the color purple 

Apparently, purple was a color of royalty in Greece? Also the color of the bishop of the Episcopalian church

We are the new royalty?

Spartan elite

What does it mean to become in tune with nature?

Yin and yang

Chi

Energy and power is there a difference?

Everything is vibrating?

Fiat currency is fake money

I’m currently making collages with newspapers. I go to the free newspaper stands, and rip out the headlines. One of the headlines read that for cyclist have died recently. Cyclist are the problem. They are assholes. Explain stories of cyclist I’ve seen. Middle finger, flipping off drivers, crossing the street when it’s a red light. Not obeying traffic laws 

Eating food is for suckers and a scam?

Hard-core or nothing 

How to achieve rausch

Not reacting to angry biker with middle finger

Not reacting to men honking his car 

The unexamined life is a life not worth living 

What is fun?

Parties and fun are boring to me?

Happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not an embracing our fate to live in harmony with God and nature 

Yesterday I helped the man named Isaac across the street. I noticed him reaching for a pole, and photographed his hands. The way his fingers were touching the pole just looks so beautiful. He then asked me if I could help him cross the street, when the light turned green. He walked extremely slowly. We actually wound up not being able to cross the street in time. I stood there and stopped the traffic with my hand in his. I waited for him to get on the bus. We waited, I asked what he will eat for dinner. He says, I don’t like food, I like to read books. I like to absorb all of the knowledge. This is my problem. I just read read read read. He said he likes to read history. He probably likes to read so much because he can’t really walk anymore?

Just use ChatGPT. No more Google.

Retirement? I live in a building with all old people. Yesterday on the elevator, I heard some people talking about retirement, and if they are enjoying it. One lady said that she’s enjoying what she does for work and doesn’t want to stop doing it. Another man said that he felt the same way, until he stopped doing it.
