I trust assholes (Kanye West, Steve Jobs) more than I do “nice guys” (Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett). Why? Because if you’re an asshole in public and in the faces of others, you’re more authentic and real. The problem; a lot of “nice guys” are closet assholes and might be “nice guy evil” without…

He or she who is the first mover shall move all. First mover when it comes to creating a new culture, a new system of thinking, a new technological tool or platform, etc.

The park life is the best life:

The only two things I need:

The basic gist: I get an idea of something I feel passionate or strongly about, and I just say a bunch of nonsense in my mind, and I try my best to rhyme and make it fun and interesting to myself!

The general gist of fear marketing: More effective to drive people towards certain decisions and behaviors based on fear, rather than praise-reward-encouragement.

Fun chatting in the park:

Avoid all ideologies and “-isms”; they all tend to be a trap.

To think that limits exist is for suckers.

The thought: The reason why a slate grey colored car is best is because it blends in with the environment. Then what makes me think … perhaps the best design is invisible? The design you don’t even gotta think about? The best condom as the most invisible as Taleb says? Or the best shoes are…

The concept of HAPTIC: Re-introduce the sense of touch (HAPTIC feedback) into our everyday lives with beautiful tools which will last you a lifetime. HAPTIC: brainchild of CINDY NGUYEN x ERIC KIM. To empower all photographers and visual artists.

Outlier.nyc — the solution to fast fashion.

Unfortunately, FOMO (fear of missing out) is real and very effective. Fear marketing 101.

A company which profits off people’s insecurity and need for external affirmation … isn’t this evil? Truth be told to be addicted to cocaine seems like a better addiction than being addicted to social media and Instagram.

How I blog:

My regimen is uber-simple: Intermittent fast during the day (no breakfast and lunch) Lift weighs while fasting (yes, even powerlifting) When the sun goes down (dinner time), I break my fast and eat a shitload of meat. No protein powder, no steroids, no testosterone, no creatine, no ‘pre-workout’ stuff, no energy drinks, no protein powder,…

My personal approach and philosophy to fitness:

My thoughts philosophy and approach to lifting weights:

Mostly ‘via negativa‘ stuff (things to NOT do, or things to SUBTRACT from your life): a. Things to NOT do: Don’t eat during the day (intermittent fasting in the day). No breakfast and lunch. Break your fast with a huuuuuuge meal with tons of meat. Don’t use social media. Best to just delete Instagram. Don’t…

Contrary to what all these ‘health experts’ and health guidelines say, eating fat (saturated fat, red meats with high cholesterol) is actually good for you. Why? Improved mood and testosterone, increased muscle growth, and less fat (adipose tissue) gain. So why has consuming dietary fat (like the delicious fat on the side of your T-bone…

Sociology: the art of breaking, bending, and transforming social rules, norms, and “laws”. It is sooooo fun because you realize: Reality is malleable. Also: You are strong enough and courageous and brave enough to mould reality to YOUR liking!

The trap: Trying to mould yourself to reality and society. The better way: Realize you are strong and powerful. You can mould reality to your own liking! You got the hammer!

What is lifestyle, and why is it important? Some thoughts:

Links *ARE* the internet. Thus when in doubt, link more.

My quarantine lifestyle is uber-simple: Wake up, have coffee, walk around, type out some thoughts on my laptop or iPad, make art, share, create, help Cindy, workout, eat meat, and sleep! Then perhaps is the best life the most uber-simple life? In Praise of a Choice Minimal Lifestyle BETA LIFESTYLE In Praise of a Ghetto…

What if the desire for us to travel were a vice, a bad thing?

Let us say you can never travel again. Then … ask yourself: How can I shoot meaningful photos in a future without travel?

You are the brand and platform.

Create a solo company, where you can run the ship yourself? No delays problems or stresses?

This difference is soooooo important. Why? When we talk about “gaining weight” what we really mean to say is fat (adipose tissue) gain. And what’s the big health risk problem and public health problem? If you’re a man with more than 10% bodyfat, or a woman with more than 20% bodyfat, you’re far more likely…

Hard to quantify the “best”. Easier to quantify “the least bad”. “The good is mostly in the absence of the bad.” – Ennnius

Sign of physical health, vigor, and strength.

Standard photos are often so boring!

Emojis are the future of communication and emotional expression:

why do we like or prefer the foreign and exotic? Why don’t we prefer the domestic and local?

The sword always cuts both ways, and this is good! In other words: What people see as your ‘flaws’ are actually your greatest strengths. Also: What you consider your greatest strength might be your ‘fatal flaw’. My take: All is good. ERIC

Something good to ask yourself — WHY?

Every child is born a philosopher. If a child ever asks ‘Why?‘ — entertain the child forever:

Working out is like breathing for me:

Meat is the future:

It seems simple … create some sort of thing, service, or idea/technique/art which helps a billion people!

Facts:

The future … street photography video:

Simply put: Fear marketing is most effective. For example, telling people (or making a sign saying): Put on a face mask to prevent OTHERS from infecting YOU. The notion of “put on a face mask to prevent yourself from potentially infecting others” is not effective!

Simply put — Increase your testosterone Decrease your body fat (adipose tissue) Increase your muscle mass (skeletal body mass) To do this easiest: Stop eating during the day (intermittent fasting). No breakfast or lunch, just a massive meat-heavy dinner in the evening once the sun goes down.

A business which promises you to gain more muscle mass (skeletal muscle) is good business. Also a business which promises you to lose body fat (adipose tissue) is good.

The best angle in photography … the widest and closest angle.

A world without hyper-links is not an internet. Thus with your website and blog: Link a lot… both to yourself and to others!

In praise of meat, cholesterol, saturated fat, red meats, etc:
