I was watching birds today fly away from humans. Yet they don't fly away from each other. Nor do they fly away from other non threatening animals such as cows and will stand right next to them without fear.
I presume they have learned over time that cows are not threatening and humans are threatening. And the only logical course of action against a threat is to run away when it gets close to you. So they'll eat our food and garbage off the ground but will avoid getting too close because we are a threat.
This got me thinking that we should be doing the same thing the birds are. We're being bullied and threatened by other humans all the time and are paying bills to people we don't even know. I just got a bill from my phone company 3 months after canceling service.
So I don't want to be around other humans anymore because I like to think that I've learned that they're a threat. So even though humans used to work cooperatively and build things peacefully together in early America, it's not that way anymore and it's now eat or be eaten. So wake up and smell the coffee. Humans are now more of a threat than ever and we should not trust anyone, and just live by ourselves in peace.
Unless you aren't even as smart as a bird, or are so trapped that you can't leave.

The point of having money is...
To never spend it. Because then you're giving it to some rich guy and then you're poor again.
In the movie "The gods must be crazy" They were trying to give the bushman money for his work at the end of the movie. But the guy who understood the bushmen said "He don't want the money, money only buys things, and bushmen don't need things" and then they gave it to him anyway and the bushman tossed it aside later and it blew away in the wind.
Need not want not. In church they will tell you to have no want or need for anything in order to get closer to god. And if you have nothing or are going through a trial it's just god trying to teach you something or teach someone else through you. Vow of poverty is along these lines.
The goal in life is not to get more and more money, or even to enjoy spending your money. The goal is to be happy and fulfilled in life. This is different for everyone. For some it's going to a tropical paradise someday. For others it's making a family and just living together for ever and for others it's doing charity. The best things in life are free, and true happiness is something we have to find out how to achieve because it's not taught in schools. This may be those lessons god is supposedly trying to teach us, or it's just the better part of human nature shining through that makes us happiest.

Only Fat people are Losers
If you look at it in an unbiased scientific approach you would survey people on what qualities made somebody a loser and then select people with those qualities that are skinny and fat, and then take a pole as to which of them are losers compared to skinny and fat people who have non loser qualities.
But I don't have the resources and am not studying for a doctorate in psychology so I'll sum up my hypothesis.
Skinny people who like comics and video games and live at home with there parents and have a job at a fast food restaurant, I will venture to say have more friends and more dates and more of a life in general than a fat person with the same credentials. This should e obvious already. The percentage of people that like them is higher for skinny people and the derogatory comments are fewer on average.
So if you don't want to change who you are, but you want to become cool, just lose some weight. You don't even need to be muscular, because the skinnier, the better, and any tiny amount of muscle you have will show if skinny, and create the illusion of strength.
It's simple but not easy for some of us. It's easy for people like Paris Hilton, who if not for her good looks and rich parents would be the biggest loser in history. Oh yeah and the cool kids in high school that get all the dates, are all losers because they all live with their parents and have no job or future yet, and only have their looks and attitude. Skinny pricks are the most popular people.
It doesn't hurt to smoke and have tattoos either. The more death oriented the tattoos the better.

We're Humans, life should not be a Struggle
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
We shouldn’t have to suffer. We’re above animals aren’t we? We're above the turkeys we eat for thanks giving right?
All you need to not suffer is: Food, housing, security, land to grow or collect food, reliable transportation, and general freedom.
But the people in power are deliberately making us struggle.
Housing: We used to be able to buy a house outright. Now it takes 30 years to pay off a house. I’ve never heard of a house taking 30 years to build.. That’s why they have building codes, is so you don’t have the ability to build a house all on your own, they won‘t even let you build above code. See Holmes on homes.
Food: When you want to hunt food you need to get a hunting license, which costs as much as the actual animal like with fish, “so why not just go to the store and buy some” is what they want you to think. If you shoot an animal in Alaska and the rangers find the carcas they will try to match the bullet to your gun and punish you. That’s why you also need a licensed fire arm, so that they can catch you, if you get things for free.
Land: For food and space, is just as hard to buy as a house is. The paper work is purposefully complicated to prevent you from buying and doing what you want with the land. The paperwork and procedure is so complicated that you have to hire experts to do the paperwork for you. And also you can’t have food grown for free on that land, so they’ve calculated in that you should have to pay taxes on that land every year of an amount that is the same price as the food that you would have grown on that size of land.
Security: Is easy to come by when there are no people around to steal stuff. So live in the country
instead of the city. In the city we need locks on everything and we can get our identity stolen if we somehow misplace a purse or a wallet. They sell us identity theft protection and insurance but in reality all of these things are a scam and are never worth buying unless you’re forced to by the government. Why don’t we pay for our own mistakes instead of diverting the responsibility to an untrustworthy insurance company in it for profit, that will call it a preexisting condition or not covered. This doesn’t make me feel safe.
Reliable transportation:
It used to be horses that require no fuel and no maintenance and out last a car and the babies are free.
Then they came out with the “automobile” and forced all of these new bills onto us and now there are no places to even ride a horse because of roads. Some cars cost as much as some houses at $25,000. And after the first model-T was built and found to never break they figured out that in order to make more money all cars should be made with engineered obsolescence, none should have interchangeable parts and the parts should fail early on purpose made out of inferior materials and be so complex that not even a certified mechanic can fix it most of the time. And also cars should never get 150 miles to the gallon even thought that technology does exist even as old fashioned carborators, because then they wouldn't get money from you from gas also.
Freedom: Isn’t it obvious that we have none and that we are stuck with this society with no chance of ever getting out of it. We’re all a victim of the system now. Even $50,000 a year jobs aren’t worth as much as they were in the 80’s. So even the upper middle class are going to be the ultimate victims eventually. We will all be slaves to taxes and small paying jobs. I think they made this new wonderful American way of life of roads, taxes, cars, monopolies, energy, and rules, and it’s working so perfectly for those in power that they’ll never want it to change. At least we can still dream of finding an uninhabited place and starting a new society with actual freedom.
But I digress, Capitalism is around so that the people that work can pay the rich people who can then pay the socialists in taxes. It's been that way since the beginning of time and will always be that way even if we did somehow start over. The only way to change is if everything was free someday. No cause means no effect.
Do we all have the freedom to succeed or fail. Or is it almost inevitable that most of us will fail eventually no matter how talented? Knowledge is more powerful than anything in the universe, just remember that.

Researching Becoming a Personal Trainer
The best way to learn something is by teaching it. (maybe because of repetition)
Energy in, and energy out.(as in calories, burn more than you eat to lose weight)
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Minimum calories= Ideal body weight (x)10
I.E. 150 Lbs. (x)10=1500 cal / day.
But exercise to burn off extra calories above that healthily.
Diet:
The only foods you should be eating are high in fiber and low on the glycemic index.
The following grocery list gotten from This site. Read more of what they have to say which I won't cover all of it here.
You should stock your house with only good foods and learn new habits of eating them.
Good foods are:
I'm testing out Creatine to see if it works but I'm not done testing yet. The good thing is there are no side effects other than water retention weight gain. The only creatine proven to work is creatine monohydrate in the powder form. So that's the only one I'm going to use until they come out with more studies. I found this information on creatine supplements wiki.
Post workout meal: You need easily absorbed whey protein isolates(not concentrates) of around 45 grams. No more can be absorbed by the body at one time. Also you need a high glycemic carb which is 1.5 bananas worth. Also since I make time to do this every morning this counts as my breakfast so I throw in an extra apple for fiber, if it's breakfast. This info gotten from the food addiction page and this video and this video.
Reps and Sets: For strength do 6-15 reps and do 5-7 sets or more until you feel the pump(see the movie pumping iron). This is what body builders do, but be very careful with heavier weights and don't do this method on your back because you could pull a muscle or worse. But to get skinnier instead of more muscular you should do higher reps. This changes the type of muscle tissue you're building. This info gotten from under "realization of training goals" under strength training on wiki. There's a useful table there also. Also see Physical Exercise.
Another method that also works well that may be more suited to others is the safest and most well rounded approach of 30-50 reps of whatever weight level you're at. Work your way up to 50 then start over at next weight level at 30 reps.
I heard once, weight lifting burns 7 times as many calories as cardio. Because of the regeneration of muscle tissues burns up calories even after you're done exercising. So 1 hour of weightlifting is the equivalent of 7 ours of cardio. There is competing and contradictory scientific information on this subject so I may be wrong. Here's one article on it.
Mindset:
Be sure to only exercise 3-4 days a week because of over training. If you exercise too hard and too often for too long then you'll reach plateau and may even loose strength and motivation and will feel tired. Sometimes it could take months of rest to recover. Unless you only exercise 3-4 days a week and take the normal amount of rest. And people with more muscle take longer to recover so instead of resting muscles for 12-24 hours you'd be resting them for 24-48 hours. This data says that protein synthesis continues for 48 hours after an exercise. Over training of cardio, or weight training, increases cortisol in the blood which is also known as the stress hormone and will make you irritable.(This may or may not be true). But when I exercise it relaxes me and make me feel better.
So exercise every other day and never do one muscle group more than 2 times per week. So do upper body on one day then lower body on the next day, the full body work out on the next day and maybe take a 2 day rest then.
Getting a certificate: Here are some sites.

Recent research, conducted at the University of North Carolina, suggests that completing sets of thirty to fifty repetitions using 10% of 1-rep maximum weight provides optimum development of endurance, strength, and power.

Mindset:
- I like myself better as a skinny person.
- Do things because they are hard, not because they are easy.
- I don't need to eat that...
- Just plain don't go over your target calories for the day.
- Exercise and diet most days but have days off where you eat 2000-2500 cal.
- It's my ticket out of here.
