Availability-Misweighing Tendency:
1) Distributing cheese among people of Africa, for some good gut bacteria and to help them with increased protein intake/synthesis by helping their body take protein from food and not just send it unabsorbed, partly due to "selfish-gene" theory.
2) Green leaves and green Earth!
3) Our ancestors had great 40% protein, 65% good carbs, and 20-30% fat in their diet.
4) Science-based evidence and "disconforming evidence" based methods to verify cultural "truths", providing great foods/products to people as a result of research concensus.
5) Is it true Silicon Valley has startups who have breadthtaking technologies in the field of medicine in general? Can we take the solutions to rural Africa (which is what Bill Gates basically tries to do through his private investment firm and as well as his organization, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation).
6) I realize that extremely talented people need to get out of their egos to help needy countries of the world!
7) While it is true gender, nation/religion is a matter, but things like that should not inhibit your desire to do good for the world!
8) Tom Hanks is an amazing person, I mean from the sense of his movies. He had a movie called "Captain Phillips" which talks about a normal man's effort to satisfy desires of multiple people. To me, I feel pretty much like him. When I wake up, here's mom and here's a roadmap that I have to walk to college. Then once I bridge that, then I have another person fill my to-do list and as a result, my own agenda gets punted down at the end of the day and then my mom, as usual, annoys me and doesn't let me think clearly! I mean you the hell can I type and write these amazing notes while I'm being annoyed?! It is truth that loyal people are scammed. Want proof? recently, I trusted a local barber (rather than an expenise one, the one my Dad gets a haircut from) and what happened? he shaved my new beard (on one side) without asking me, nevertheless, I said since you did it now do it on the other side too... but very light. He did it with some kind of small machine. I asked him would I grow a beard like adults do?, his answer: "Only when you use a blade, and one occasion won't grow copper hairs as you so fear". Anyways, I realized that when you live in a country whose problem is not "enough resources/bridgers/bridges" but rather it's leaders spend their whole time wasting all the energy income on their random desires, then these poor people are in dire need of entertainment, money and everything materialistic you can think of. I call it "Tim-Honoured Bridging", which is a VERY IMPORTANT concept and please pay attention here, Time-honoured bridging means you bridge stuff for these irresponsible people but then at the end of the day, like the girl from Travis Scott's Night Riders, you suffer like a rat drowned in a poisoned well, with every action of his diminished by the extreme pain his skin and extreme risk of getting poison in his mouth/lungs, as the risk of breathing water is more when depth is more and you are alone in water, especially a poisoned well full of people like that barber (and my mom... at times!)
9) I give up, I give up. I give up this "bridging" mission from now on. Terminate in a sense that no longer would I keep putting out half-baked content on internet. One question to help use what I have so rehearsed (and thought and talked about in my blog) can be re-made using this focus question: What is something that I've long been rehearsing that might be useful to explore now? and then what would come in the answer, I would schedule time/negotiate break for that project, trying to say no to every "multiple time-honoured bridging requests" as soon as they arrive in my inbox, in fact, I should notify every stakeholder before even some "thing" happens or doesn't happen! These messages that "that" thing is destroyed or that my career is trashed etc. etc. any bad news, trust me, you can get away with that stuff in the short term, but increased infliction to such time-honoured abuse of bridging to MUGAPP model will do mare harm to you than good, and by 'you', I mean your well-being, mental health, and creative energy! which is dictated (as I believe) by how much less Cotisol your "stress-glands" produce.
10) SAY NO TO EXCESSIVE EMAIL PARANOIA.
11) Let's make some stuff.
12) Charlie Munger keeps his stuff to himself. That's why he's rich. You know, there's a Travis Scott saying, "You know we are rider, tonight we gonna set streets on fire, all I need is the gas in the lighter.... All we do is sit back, relax and smoke....cuz we ain't got no job"... That's the saying of people like Charlie Munger. As you know, once you make series of great decisions, over time they add up in 1+1=4 fashion which means lollapalooza effects. So here''s the thing: you set records by crossing jurisdictional boundaries... pushing disappoint me but I'm here to roll off in the streets. We set the streets on fire. We become multi-disciplinary/cross-disciplinary/multi-faceted. We are multi-faceted, there's more to us than meets the eyes. We like accumulating mental models from disciplines that are thought to be FAR AWAY from us..... Yes, we are students of Charlie Munger. You know, Angelina Jolie would've done same. Just acquire wealth (by being multidisciplinary and acquiring Big Ideas from Big Disciplines), sit back, be patient and slightly keep giving away to the world you so take from. That's it. That's the recipe for success. "Can you imagine a normal man sitting there in silence, so he does something Stupid". Stupid is keyword here, it means that we get more from acquiring great wealth over time than trying to win lottery tickets. So as Charlie said:
“You have to be very patient, you have to wait until something comes along, which, at the price you’re paying, is easy. That’s contrary to human nature, just to sit there all day long doing nothing, waiting. It’s easy for us, we have a lot of other things to do. But for an ordinary person, can you imagine just sitting for five years doing nothing? You don’t feel active, you don’t feel useful, so you do something stupid.”
Thus the act of acquiring rich life needs not blunt force, but rather a sense of well-being and a knowledge on how to create Lollapallooza effects. Just give away to the world you took from. Spend, Distribute and then make multiply that energy. Become rich and make world rich. Be of help to those in genuine need, and have a strategy for being humble to anything, any living/non-living thing that comes and shows up at your condo. JUST BRING IT ON. You need to know that I'm a rider. That's the thing.
Charlie Munger defined lollapalooza effects as follows in Poor Charlie's Almanack:
The critical mass obtained via a combination of concentration, curiosity, perseverance, and self-criticism, applied through a prism of multidisciplinary mental models
Speed Doesn't cost anything, if you have time-honoured-bridging-earned Network behind you to take care of you..The only thing it costs is an 'energy state' and excitement, but that's a price I am willing to pay for what I call "Quiet Speed". It's the kind of speed where you sit on a pile of cash, like Warren Buffet/Charlie Munger, you let your investments multiply your money in value year after year, taking advantage of Lollapalooza effects.
