The term “discalced” comes from the Latin word “discalceatus,” which itself is composed of two parts: “dis-” meaning “away” or “apart” and “calceatus,” meaning “shod” or “wearing shoes.” “Calceatus” comes from “calceus,” which means “shoe.” Therefore, “discalceatus” literally translates to “unshod” or “without shoes.” This etymology reflects the practice’s emphasis on humility and simplicity, as adopted by certain religious orders who choose to go barefoot or wear simple sandals as a sign of their detachment from worldly comforts and material wealth.

Last night I made a NY Strip Steak, Wagyu Ground Beef, and Beef liver. This was my first time experimenting with an air fryer. I decided to use Beef tallow for both the ground beef and the steak which is absolutely delicious and increases the flavor. Honestly, I am no chef by any means, and find the carnivore diet to be so easy for me.

It’s so simple:

Put meat on fire…

I have been on the carnivore diet for over a year now and have never felt better. It’s such a simple solution that has completely transformed my life. With the increase of testosterone it ultimately makes me 1000x joyful, stronger, and confident. In the past I wouldn’t consider my diet whatsoever, but making the conscious effort to strictly eat red meat has been the biggest game changer.

How to increase your power

Simple!

• Eat more red meat
• Intermittent fasting
• Sun exposure
• Walk barefoot
• Lift weights

Why does this matter?

Power is what I seek. I want endless strength that gets me through each day. In order to achieve this goal, I must eat more red meat. There’s truly no other food that can give you the same level of power and energy. I feel insanely satiated from simply eating one meal a day. I fast until the end of the day, and eat as much meat as I want before I go to sleep. Throughout the next day I never feel hungry and have a sharp mind combined with a strong body that keeps me moving onward!

Become a Creative Barbarian

Forget this gentle idea of “creating”—swap it out for something fierce, something primal. Instead of “create,” think conquer. Art isn’t about refinement; it’s about stepping into the unknown and taking ground. It’s messy, it’s raw, and it demands fearlessness. Imagine yourself as a barbarian on the front lines, camera in hand, words sharpened into weapons. You’re not here to decorate the world; you’re here to carve out your place in it.

Each photo, each stroke, each word isn’t just a piece—it’s a claim. It’s the mark that you, in this short life, set out and took something for yourself. So many people want to “make nice things” or to fit into what’s popular, but that’s not where real art lives. Real art pushes into unknown territory, faces its own discomfort, and takes what’s elusive.

Forget the polished, the perfected. Art should feel dangerous, untamed. Conquering isn’t about control; it’s about feeling alive and unbound. Every time I pick up my camera, I’m not just trying to capture a moment—I’m challenging myself to break new ground, to press into the unknown, and to let curiosity lead.

The world doesn’t need more creations that toe the line; it needs more who are willing to conquer their fears, to take a stance, and to fight for their vision. Step out of safety, go beyond “creation” for the sake of it, and seize the wildest, most uncharted parts of your craft.

Be a creative barbarian: press on, conquer territory, and leave a trail that’s unmistakably yours.

Psychological dis-ease

The etymology of the word “disease” traces back to the Old French word “desaise,” which means “lack, want; discomfort, distress; trouble, misfortune; disease, sickness,” literally “lack of ease.” The term is composed of two parts: “des-” a prefix meaning “lack of” (from Latin “dis-” which has a negative or reversing force) and “aise” meaning “ease” (from the Latin “adjacens,” meaning “lying at, bordering on,” figurative “easy, comfortable, agreeable,” with a root sense of “to lie near,” from “jacēre” meaning “to lie, rest”).

The evolution of the term into “disease” in English reflects a broadening to refer to any condition that causes pain, dysfunction, distress, social problems, or death to the person afflicted, or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this context, “disease” is used broadly to refer to any condition that impairs normal function, not limited to infectious diseases but encompassing a wide range of health conditions.
