I’ve thought about all imaginable possible purposes for the universe/god/life and read a lot of the related information in the web and it turns out everyone’s an idiot who thinks they’ve figured out the meaning of life.

Even if there was a god or gods who had given us a purpose, for example to entertain it or to give some solution to a problem of his through evolution, that god would also need a purpose, otherwise our purpose is meaningless.

Most people that ponder the question are thinking about what is the meaning of life, when it is clear that you need to look way beyond.. A better question would be, does the universe have a purpose? The answer, with roughly 99.99% certainty, is no. No common religion or a known answer from a person provides a logical, valid, unarguable answer. I would even accept a possible purpose for the universe, like some kind that would only be true if the universe was a certain way. But I am yet to find even a possible purpose for it and it seems to be a fact that while every intelligent thing can give a thing with lower intelligence a purpose, that purpose is meaningless unless the more intelligent thing has a purpose and if there’s some kind of a god who created the universe, it will need a purpose, other than creating things (because that is not a valid purpose). If there’s no god, then there’s just as surely no purpose because a randomly generated universe almost has to be meaningless. No amount of alternative universes/dimensions will make things meaningful either. Any alternative realities that I imagined or read about would give no meaning either.

Death is just as meaningless even if we go to hell/heaven or reincarnate as something else after it, think about it with your logic, not with your emotions or through your religion. Life is sure enough meaningless, but so is death so there’s no point killing yourself either. However if you are to be entirely logical, even the slightest chance that the universe has a purpose is enough to make life more meaningful than death but I’m human and thus I can’t accept what is in my opinion a 0.0001% chance, so from now on I’ll be living in a way that just tries to satisfy both my emotions and logic, for there’s now no reason to fight my stupid emotions.

I’ve even been thinking about going to some island or whatever and live like aboriginals but I’m not so sure that would make me any happier because I’m used to live in a modern society. Luckily for us humans, a while after you’ve realized that there’s no meaning of life, many humans will actually be able to live happier for they are now free to do whatever and take more risks without caring about the consequenses so much, although our stupid governments take a lot of our freedom away from us.

Because of this realization, I probably won’t create more posts for a while because personal development is just as meaningless as everything else and I’m currently not enjoying writing about it that much vs. doing other stuff. This post even invalidates some other posts of mine so it is better that you have now read this before reading my other posts.

Viagra testimonial

I’m practically certain that only the present moment exists and thus time travel would be impossible. If history and/or the future existed, it would take an incredible amount of copies of the universe to record all the needed data and to think that there would be 1 copy of the universe for each nanosecond or whatever is quite insane. Or even if the universe had an optimized way to record that data, like in a compressed movie format, it would still take a crap load of space to record it and the data would probably have to exist outside the universe. NASA etc. seem to have calculated that with 98% chance the universe is flat and not a sphere, so where would the data be and how very unlikely it would be for us to be able to access it?

Many people also argue that if time travel was possible, we would see time travelers every now and then but they fail to understand that it would probably have to be doable only through some physical device that has to have existed and be turned on for time travel to be possible to that time.

I started a fat burning diet two months ago which is much like the Atkins Diet except it has less variation and it has one day in a week that lets you eat a lot more than normal. This Bulk Day boosts your metabolism and increases your sports performance for a few days. This diet will get your body in a state of Ketosis.

Here’s a tool that lets you estimate how much kilocalories you can eat every day. Take that figure and deduct 500 kcal from it to get the figure that you’re going to use on this diet. Also increase it by 50% to get the Bulk Day figure.

No exercises are required when on this diet. If you do any kind of sports on a day, you should eat more that day.

In this diet you eat only 20 grams (0.044 pounds) of carbohydrates every day and 500 kilocalories of energy less than what your body uses daily. So you’ll be eating more than in the average fat burning diet. You’ll be avoiding eating anything that has carbohydrates and eating a lot of things like eggs, cheese, peanuts, bacon, cream, fish, butter, sausages, meat but none of things like rice, bread, spaghetti, pizza, hamburger, candy, chocolate etc except on Bulk Days.

Your daily energy intake should consist of about 35% or more of protein and 65% of fat minus 20 grams of carbohydrates. Do keep in mind that one gram of fat has as much energy as two grams of protein.

One day of every week after the first 2 weeks of being on this diet should be a Bulk Day. On the bulk day you should eat roughly 50% more of energy than you spend that day. In the Bulk Day you should restrict fat intake instead of carbohydrates. So you’ll be eating just protein and carbs with as little fat as possible. This will take you out of the ketosis state for a day or two but it will be something to look forward to and it will keep your metabolism high. I’ve read that weight loss results are about the same with or without the Bulk Day. During the Bulk Day you can eat candy, low fat chips, bread etc. but not pizza, chocolate or hamburgers for example.

This diet loses its effectiveness after about 6 months and I recommend you to be on this diet a maximum of five months.

This diet was supposed to be a good one for those who want to keep as much of their muscles as possible on a fat burning diet and while I might have kept my muscles, my strength in the gym decreased too much and it didn’t quickly get back to my before diet level after the diet. So I don’t recommend this to anyone who takes his gym training seriously but I do recommend this to everyone else who have a lot of self-discipline or like eating fatty foods and want to lose weight. Both women and men should find this diet to be effective.

If you’re going to start this diet, I suggest you to read more about it first elsewhere. You’ll be needing some dietary supplements like vitamins and I can’t instruct you in English about that properly.

The results

- 14.July.2007 I weighted 88.7 kilos in the morning. This was the day I started this diet.
- 23.July.2007 I weighted 86.6 kilos in the morning. This was the day I lowered my daily calorie intake to the proper amount. I first though that I should eat as much energy as I use on this diet, but no. Silly mistake.
- 25.July.2007 I weighted 86.2 kilos, right before my first Bulk Day, which was that day.
- 27.July.2007 I weighted 86.1 kilos, so the extra weight gained from Bulk Day disappears quickly.
- 29.July.2007 I weighted 85.5 kilos
- 30.July.2007 I weighted 85.1 kilos
- 3.August.2007 I weighted 85.7 kilos - I started using Creatine Pyruvate on 1st of August 2007. One guy reported that this dietary supplement meant for body builders and alike increased his weight by 2 kilos on this diet within 7 days after first use.
- 4.August.2007 I weighted 85.1 kg - Even though I took Creatine Pyruvate on 3rd of August.
- 8.August.2007 I weighted 84.4 kg aamulla - Some time after this I started eating over 30 grams of carbohydrates, which is too much as you can see in the results.
- 13.August.2007 I weighted 84.6 kg
- 14.August.2007 I weighted 84.3 kg
- 19.August.2007 I weighted 84.4 kg - After this I stopped eating over 30 grams of carbohydrates.
- 21.August.2007 I weighted 83.7 kg
- 22.August.2007 I weighted 83.1 kg
- 24.August.2007 I weighted 83.7 kg
- 27.August.2007 I weighted 83.3 kg
- 29.August.2007 I weighted 82.5 kg
- 2.September.2007 I weighted 83 kg
- 5.September.2007 I weighted 82.1 kg
- 8.September.2007 I weighted 82.7 kg
- 12.September.2007 I weighted 81.2 kg

Exactly one week after the diet, today, I weigh 82.4 kilos / 181.6 pounds, so the weight increase after diet because of an increase of fluids in the body was not huge and I expected it to be exactly what it is.

Many people say that it’s better to make niche businesses or products than general businesses or products.
I disagree unless your goal is to just make a good living.

By creating niche things, you will have much less competition and often you can charge more from your customers.
But the amount of growth potential will be severely limited unless you’re planning to expand into many niches.

Yes, you can make up to a few millions with some narrow niche businesses if you found a great niche with little to no competition and you know what you’re doing, but in general much less.
And while I’d say that it’s generally easier to make a living running a niche business than a general one, I will from now on avoid making products/businesses that have less than up to 100 million dollars of yearly income potential because that’s a sign of too narrow niche to me.

Let’s say that you made an application that translates Portuguese into Finnish and is clearly the best that does it and you’re selling it online.
Not only would the population of Finland limit it severely. It would have a very small chance of being profitable enough to be able to be advertised on Finnish radios/magazines/tv or even websites
because only a very small percentage of Finnish people would need such software and there’s little to none Finnish websites or magazines that are solely about Portugese or Portugal.
So it would be extremely hard to get the word out because press releases wouldn’t do enough and you’d probably only be able to sell it to a few other companies and some schools by contacting them.
The effect of word of mouth would be very severely limited as well.
So the business would end up as a failure or slight success at best because the picked niche was just too narrow.

The above example has an extremely narrow niche but more common niches have the same problem but of a lesser magnitude.
So by having businesses that sell general products or services you’re not limiting your growth potential and you’re able to make the most out of advertising, affiliates, word of mouth etc.

Sorry about not posting here more often, lately I’ve been too busy with my businesses. Anyway I’m now running an Atkins Diet like diet test and the I’ll make a post about that after a month or so.

I’ve been going to the gym for about 2 and a half years now and didn’t really start taking it seriously until 7th of February 2007. Since then my motivation in everything I do has increased greatly. So have my happiness, health, strength and muscles. I feel like I’m constantly progressing in life. In reality I have no good reason to become strong and muscular but I do this mostly for my mind rather than for my body.

My overall strength has increased ~15% since that day (in 2 months) which is clearly the best progress I’ve had since being a total beginner. I’ve been able to increase weights every week while I’d normally be stuck for some weeks.

Now let me tell you what I define as hardcore training: To make the training your lifestyle. You’d go to the gym at least 3 times per week and eat bodybuilding style at least five times a day. It will basically be on your mind 24/7 and to me it feels like the most important thing to me while my logic clearly states that it isn’t but that’s ok. To my conscious mind work is much more important but now work feels less like work, while training and eating feels a bit like work. Currently I’m perhaps a bit too hardcore and I’m calculating my energy intake every meal and separating fat from carbohydrates because that makes fat cell generation harder.

I’ll talk more about bodybuilding food later but I’m sure you can find out more about it elsewhere for now.
Now I also need to tell you what little benefits loose gym training has over hardcore gym training: Gym training won’t stress you at all unless you’re really lazy and have to force yourself to go there just to maintain your body. Personally I didn’t have that problem even when I was training loose. Hardcore training will stress you usually, more or less. You’ll be able to eat more loosely; undefined amounts of food and better tasting foods.

I find that taking gym exercising seriously greatly improves my motivation in just about everything I do. It boosts my physical and mental health so it has became a big part of my life.

Have at least one rest day (without any muscle exercising) in between gym days.

I’m currently on a bulk(ish) diet and my gym training programme is a slightly modified version of a popular gym training 5×5 single factor program:
http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/5×5_Program/Linear_5×5.htm (If that site is still down, try this link). I’ll write a post about my diet later. When I say 3×8 for example, it means 3 sets of 8 repeats.
This program is great for building muscle and strength. You should probably have been in the gym for at least a year before trying out this program. This programme is meant for intermediate trainees.
Take 1 - 5 minute breaks after every set. (5 mins only if your target muscles are very tired and 1 min only after the lightest sets).

The gym days’ moves are ordered in a way which I find optimal, but if some spot is taken in the gym, you may alter the order to avoid waiting.

Week’s first time in a gym

• Bench Press 5×5 ramp up weight after every set, until top set of 5. (Move Example)
• Barbell Squat 5×5 ramp up weight after every set, until top set of 5. (Move Example)
• Barbell Row 5×5 ramp up weight after every set, until top set of 5. (Move Example)
• 4 sets of weighted sit-ups.
• 2 sets of weighted hypers.
• Sitting Calf Raise 3×8 constant weight. (You may leave this one out if you don’t care about those muscles much).

Week’s second time in a gym

• Barbell Incline Bench Press 4×5 ramp up weight after every set, until top set of 5. (Move Example)
• Barbell Squat 4×5 ramp up weight after the first two sets, then repeat the third set. This is light because it is in the middle of the week and you’ll also be doing Deadlifts.
• Deadlift 4×5 ramp up weight after every set, until top set of 5. (Move Example)
• 3 sets of Chin-ups. (Optional, you can replace this with 3 sets of normal sit-ups too)

Week’s third time in a gym

This day takes me 90 - 130 minutes in the gym. Longer than the other days.

• Bench Press 4×5 same weights as in the first time of the week, but leave the last set out. 1×3x102.5% of your last top set of five, 1 x 8 x third set.
• Barbell Squat - The same set schedule as above.
• Barbell Row - The same set schedule as above.
• 3×8 Triceps Extensions
• 3×8 Barbell Curls or something else that targets Biceps.

You need to check out this page too after reading this post before you can start with this program. Then come back here to know better what I’m talking about.

Forget about having multiple streams of income and trying to hustle your way to success by spending little time here and there to make a little money.

Your mind will feel a lot clearer and I and many others think that you’ll be much more successful if you only focus on building one big business. Of course you may want to first experiment what kind of business that is.

I tried to go the multiple streams of income way but when I switched to focusing on one business, I’ve been getting a lot more work done and the path ahead of me is clearer.

Note that this isn’t originally my advice. I’m not qualified to give this advice alone. This is a multi-millionaire’s advice which was agreed to by many other entrepreneurs.

When you focus on only one business you will be able to create much more value to it because you mind is constantly thinking about ways to improve it and it will show in your income.

When you have many concurrent projects or businesses, you’ll be spending a lot of time thinking about which one to work on, you’ll be less organized or spend a lot more time organizing, you’ll feel more stressed, you aren’t as capable of coming up with ideas to improve one of the businesses because you’re spending much less time per business and one business’ ideas will interfere with the ideas of another and your mind will feel utterly cluttered.

If you’re having nightmares about some people you don’t like and you want to get rid of them, here’s what to do:

This is going to sound weird: Love them.

I had this problem with a-holes bullying me when I was a kid years ago and after that they were haunting me in my nightmares for years and someone at a personal development forum just mentioned that advice and it worked!

I consciously totally ignored the advice because it sounded so weird but my subconscious mind picked it up and made it so that one of them was becoming my friend in the very next dream and after that it took many days to have the next dream where another bully was my friend. Other than that I haven’t had any dreams involving them anymore but make sure to try to stop hating them consciously too.

That brain reboot I mentioned earlier needs a little more time for some enhancing tests to be posted.

I’ve decided to start allowing comments, hoping that there won’t be too much comment spam.

Note that there’s a lot of filtering and the harshest swearing words are blocked because they often relate to spam. So if you post a comment and it doesn’t show up or say “awaiting moderation”, please re-phrase your comment.

Only post a link if it actually relates to the comment. No comment with a link will get posted automatically.
