(Barbells are more robust than monomodal<\/em> strategies.)<\/p>\n

Walk most of the time, sprint as fast as you can on the occasion; never jog.<\/p>\n

Fast for long periods of famine, then feast; never diet.<\/p>\n

Endorse Nick Clegg & David Cameron, in combination, never labor.<\/p>\n

For social life, a linear combination of Fat Tony & philosophers outperforms the frequentation of middle brows.<\/p>\n

Go for city-states under loose empires, never nation-states.<\/p>\n

Be a fl\u00e5neur<\/em>, lounging most of the time; then work as intensely as possible for a maximum of one hour; never work at low intensity –the 4-Hour Workweek.<\/p>\n

Do nothing most of the time, then workout like a nut as intensely & unpredictably as possible.<\/p>\n

Invest mostly in close to no-risk, (cash inflation protected, 80-90%), and maximal risk securities (10-20%); never in medium risk.<\/p>\n

Read trashy gossip magazines and classics or sophisticated works; never the New York Times <\/em>(or something even more aberrant, Newsweek<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Talk to graduate students or the highest caliber scholars; never, never, never medium academics.<\/p>\n

Lose all<\/em> your money, never half of it.<\/p>\n

Respect those who make a living lying down or standing up, never those who do so sitting down.<\/p>\n

Separate the holy and the profane.<\/p>\n

Do crazy things (break furniture once in a while), like the Greeks and stay “rational” in larger decisions.<\/p>\n

If you dislike someone, leave him alone or eliminate him; don’t attack him verbally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
