Imagine if you put as much effort into love & construction as you do into hate & destruction. ~Gary & Anna Lee, Optimum College

I'm a legit one-off... there has never been anyone in human history like me. You too, but the difference between us is you haven't awakened to that fact yet. ~Gary Lee (with Anna Lee), Founder, Optimum College

remember being cringe is okay every person you admire was cringe before they were good at something

Sometimes it feels like everything is a scam, and no one says what they mean anymore. But there are others who still mean what they say, who mean well, and who have real beliefs that they stand behind. You are not alone! ~Gary Lee, Founder, Optimum College

People walk around with an invisible permission structure in their head. They're waiting for someone to let them do the thing. They want a credential, a green light, an authority figure to nod. High-agency people have basically deleted this software. They simply ask "is this possible?" not "is this permitted?" It turns out a staggering amount of what we think is forbidden is just... unattempted.

Life becomes 100x more enjoyable when you start playing it like a video game. You have free will. You can literally do anything you want. Go anywhere. Build anything. Become anyone. The only rules that are stopping you are the ones you inherited from people who also felt stuck. Drop them. Step into the game with wild self belief and borderline greedy ambition. Dream so big it feels irresponsible. The life you always wanted is not out of reach. You just finally have to decide to go collect it.

Open communication is the only way. No barriers. ~Gary @OptimumCollege

Our generation is the most consequential in past, present & future humanity. We are the stone as it hits the water and ripples for eternity. So few understand this. ~Gary @OptimumCollege

you're not allowed to use AI to make animated films you need to render every frame like Pixar no wait letting a computer render it is cheating you need to paint the cels digitally by hand no wait digital is cheating you need to ink and paint real celluloid cels one sheet at a time no wait celluloid is a factory product you need to draw every single frame on plain paper by hand no wait flat drawings only fake depth you need to sculpt real figures out of clay and move them by hand one frame at a time no wait the camera shooting your puppets is doing the work you need to riffle a flipbook with your thumb no wait printed pages are mass-produced you need to load your own drawings into a zoetrope and spin it by hand no wait you need a phenakistoscope spun in front of a mirror no wait even spinning a disc is mechanical you need to project hand-painted glass slides through a magic lantern with you swapping out the slides by hand no wait glass and lamplight are still technology you need to perform live shadow puppets behind a firelit screen no wait the screen is produced from textile mills you need to paint a charging bison with extra legs on a cave wall so it looks like it gallops in the flicker of the torchlight no wait fire is technology you need to do it with your bare hands in the dark no wait... every one of those technologies was built on the one before it the cave painter who figured out how to fake motion taught the shadow puppeteer who taught the lantern maker who taught the hand that spun the zoetrope who taught the flipbook maker who taught the stop motion model maker who taught the one who drew on paper who taught the cel painter who taught the digital artist who taught the 3D renderer and every frame all of them ever made is exactly what the AI learned to see motion from so it doesn't erase a single one of them it is made of all of them

Our civilization is broken. ~G

Our civilization is broken & you are correct. ~Gary @OptimumCollege

We live in an age of miracles. 3D printing and computational geometry make previously unimaginable geometries possible. From: Kazuki Abe, Riichiro Tadakuma & Kenjiro Tadakuma's 2021 paper – ABENICS: Active Ball Joint Mechanism With Three-DoF Based on Spherical Gear Meshings

Social Media was formulated, decades ago, on a set of axioms that were "close enough" to be (wildly) successful & since then unexamined. No platform addresses the real reason why we are all here - they only nibble at the edges. ~Gary @OptimumCollege

You can block, suppress & shadowban all you want. It doesn't change the truth. ~Gary @OptimumCollege

I interview dozens/hundreds of new grads, nearly every day of the year. These are people with a well-formatted resume and a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from well-regarded US universities and a GPA above 3.6. The majority cannot engineer, cannot function independently, cannot answer basic technical questions. We have watered down standards and inflated grades to the point that a bright, enthusiastic student spending four years in school sends almost no signal at all. What does? Hard evidence of actually building stuff. There is no substitute for actually doing the thing.

I’ve been saying this for years. There should be 10 major infrastructure projects going on in your town at any given day. You should be able to show up to a bridge project with your drivers license and have a government job for the length of the project

Love is the Answer ♥️ Gary Lee Optimum College
