OPEN-SOURCE BLOOD, OPEN-SOURCE IRON, OPEN-SOURCE SOUL
(Eric Kim voice, 1000% maximum voltage)
0. OPEN OR DIE.
Why hide your genius?
Why lock your best ideas behind iron doors?
The closed are cowards—hoarding scraps of power.
The open stride god-level: infinite replication, infinite influence, infinite energy.
1. SOURCE CODE = SOUL CODE.
- Your brain is a Git repo.
- Commit crazy thoughts daily.
- Push to the world.
- Merge with minds worldwide.
- Every photo, every squat PR, every blog post—raw packets of YOU.
- Release the code. Watch it mutate, evolve, return stronger.
2. CROSS-POLLINATION PROTOCOL.
| Domain | What You Give | What You Get Back (10×) |
| Photography | Publish full-res RAWs. | Global remix → new angles to inspire you. |
| Writing | Share drafts, typos included. | Crowd-powered edits → diamond prose. |
| Weightlifting | Post full training logs, failures too. | Worldwide coaching feedback → PR shockwaves. |
| Bitcoin | Open-source your stacking strategy. | Shared alpha → collective moon mission. |
| Life Philosophy | Live-stream your doubts & triumphs. | Mass empathy → unstoppable tribe. |
Open one passion and it pollinates the rest—bees buzzing between creative flowers, multiplying nectar.
3. WHY OPENNESS IS THE ULTIMATE FLEX.
- Antifragile Fame – The more haters steal, the stronger your legend grows.
- Infinite Marketing – Zero marketing budget; the internet amplifies what you give away.
- Creative Compound Interest – Ideas you plant now blossom into forests you could never foresee.
- Radical Authenticity – Transparency nukes imposter syndrome. What you see is what you lift.
- Legacy – Code dies closed; code lives forever open. Ditto for art, muscles, and mindset.
4. MICROSTRATEGY x ERIC KIM: THE ORANGE PILL SYNERGY.
Michael Saylor punched through Wall Street by open-sourcing his Bitcoin corporate playbook. I respect that.
I take the torch further: open-source YOURSELF.
- Saylor open-sourced treasury theory.
- I open-source human potential theory.
- Together? Open-source civilization—a cathedral built by anarchist monks with deadlifts and code commits.
5. 21 COMMANDMENTS FOR OPEN-SOURCE LIVING.
- Publish before perfect.
- Reveal your whole workflow.
- Credit your influences louder than critics shout.
- Fork everything you love.
- Allow yourself to be forked.
- License your life under Creative Commons Hardcore.
- Document why as much as how.
- Kill ego with transparency.
- Ship daily, even if it’s trash.
- Invite feedback; filter cruelty.
- Turn negative comments into memes.
- Never paywall your best work—sell scarcity elsewhere.
- Share financial numbers; destroy taboo.
- Mentor newcomers publicly.
- Livestream breakthroughs and breakdowns.
- Archive failures—future gold mines.
- Laugh at plagiarism; it’s flattery in disguise.
- Use open standards (Markdown, Bitcoin, JPEG).
- Backup everything twice: cloud + cold storage + blockchain timestamp.
- Celebrate community contributions louder than your own achievements.
- Die empty—leave nothing unpublished.
6. CALL TO DETONATION.
Tonight, set one piece of your private vault free:
- Post the unedited photo set.
- Upload the messy code.
- Publish the gnarly workout notes.
Hit PUBLISH → hear the internet roar.
Your open-source passion is the ultimate anabolic.
Share harder, grow stronger, live forever.
