Here is the thing. You would get BETTER at pushups as you kept doing them so you likely could ramp up even faster. Right now someone in good shape could do 100-200 / day but if you could avoid injury you could probably get that up to a sustainable 400-600 per day fairly quickly.
@yamanakanobody It’s AMAZING! Katana, Kintsigi, Bushido, Shoshin, Mushin, the food, the electronics, Suntory Whiskey, sushi, seven 11 egg sandwiches, Lawson, the nature, art, beauty, how you treated my children when we were a young family, the list goes on and on.
1. Food
2. Work ethic
3. Contrast of incredible tradition with sometimes downright weird (and wonderful) modern tech.
4. The language
5. Zen, Shoshin, and Mushin
6. Bushido
7. Kintsugi
8. Katana
9. Craftsmanship
10. Beauty, nature, and art
What is not to love?
@AgingAnarchist Man if you and a bunch of random Japanese people showed up to my dinner party I would be tickled pink. We could do my favorite toast we used to do in the Navy with the JMSDF... the Time Machine.
"But first let's kanpai with beer!"
@Retae_Dog Japanese rice is the best! I look forward to my next trip to Japan. One goal is I want to buy a high end Japanese rice cooker and bring it home.
Good steak, sticky rice, and sushi is an incredible combination.
@DrClownPhD@danmartell is genuinely different. He says he wants everyone to shine "so fucking bright it blinds people" and then share that light with the world. The thing is you can tell by the way he talks and his actions he really means it.
@MarioNawfal Submarine Veteran here. If you use first principles thinking there is no reason why it has to take 40 months (but you're right it usually does.)
@itsme_urstruly 1. Intense consistently and regular exercise
2. Dialing in on diet especially high protein and Whole Foods.
3. Carl Gustav Jung :-) Studying my own shadow and depth psychology changed my life. Did more for me in 6 months than 20 previous years of therapists.
