Theory, because masculine men cannot be controlled. Men who are unpredictable and independent and free spirited aren’t good for consumerism, capitalism, modern day society.

There is a difference.

Why?

Something I believe deeply in is the future for social skills. Why? First and foremost, the prime consideration for humans is social. Without having other embodied humans around us, nothing is worth it.

This is where modern day capitalism and consumerism is weird; rather than putting the emphasis on other human beings, it puts the emphasis instead on objects, nonhuman things. For example, we become obsessed with watches, cars, clothes, homes, etc. But the ultimate goal is instead, direction maximize our real life face time with other humans.

Even zoom is bad. Why? To communicate with another human being that is not facilitated in the flesh is jarring.

Even something that is interesting in regards to other human beings men and women, when I see them on the screen, versus in the flesh. Why in the flesh you could see subtle things like height. Height matters.

For example, you could see pretty girls on Instagram or social media, or showing off their body parts. Yet, if you see them in real life, and they are very short and small, like 5 feet tall, or 4 foot 11, it is different. Even Aristotle once said, ”Is there such thing as a beautiful small woman?” Or for men,

Short men are never a threat.

For example, I am very fortunate that I am quite tall, around 5 foot 11 if I exaggerate. Realistically I’m more 5 foot 10, maybe 5 foot 10 1/2. But I always like to round up. I think in Korea I’m 180 centimeters, the golden standard.

At the gym, I don’t really care if anyone is more buff or muscular than me, as long as I am taller than them, I still feel dominant.

Why does height matter?

Something that I have realized is there is a link and a connection between height and social class. Richer and more affluent people, higher class people tend to be taller. More poor working class people, or recent migrants are immigrants tend to be short.

Why is this? My theory:

In the past, there was an evolutionary benefit to height.

For example, not always but often times taller men tend to be bigger and stronger. Therefore, a woman would find a tall and strong man as more powerful and strong and beneficial.

Even for men, a trend that I see is that shorter men, or even medium sized men like the idea of marrying and having children with really really tall supermodels.

Therefore my theory:

A lot of short men tend to have a lot of money, and have the ability to attract really really tall super model women, and therefore their children and future generations of children keep getting taller and taller.

How to stand taller

You cannot change your height, but, you can change your posture. To stand upright, tall, shoulders back, chest up, chin up.

For example, even a lot of taller guys who are very very tall I see hunched over, with very poor posture. This looks very unattractive.

I also have another theory is that naturally, when your testosterone and muscle mass is high, and your body fat percentage low, your body will actually naturally assume a more dominant, upright posture.

Even another funny thing that I say is in regards to ego; when I see my testosterone insanely high, when I’m about to hit myself up before a one rep max, let’s see my 940 pound atlas lift, and my half legging compression short short tights are rolled all the way up, exposing my bare demigod thighs, and also my compression shirt is rolled up showing off my midsection and my nipples, and I am in the zone, other men around me… I see their egos deflating. When your testosterone and ego is high, and other men witness this, maybe it is a zero sum thing in which their ego also deflates.

Actually, maybe this is false. Instead, maybe only insecure men find me as a threat to their own masculinity. My new friend at the gym Taylor, insanely buff dude, always congratulate me after a successfully heavy lift. Theory:

If you are a self-confident man, and you witness great feats of strength from other men, you will always congratulate them, rather than feeling small.

The virtuous art of showing off:

I believe there to be a different gender dynamic in regards to money; it seems that for women, money is a means for security and safety. For men, money as a means to increase our power and dominance.

Or another words, manage your own money.

Difficult to ‘deep fake’ a voice, a vlog, and a video:

FUTURE PROOF THOUGHTS:

In a world of CHAT GPT, I think 99% of the time, it will pass the Turing test (you don’t know if the text was written by a human or a robot). So instead, the solution:

Produce more videos and vlogs.

Certainly you can ‘deep fake’ a video, but still, the real *soul* and passion of a video cannot be faked!

Or think, could an AI create a MATRIX, a GODFATHER, or even a John Wick?

I don’t think it is necessarily sex, but instead … as fellow play mates, and fascination?

Perfect women as rare birds?

Man would not desire to inhabit this world without (beautiful) women.

How can we future-proof it?

ATLAS LIFT IS THE WAY:

The next time someone asks me why or what the purpose of my atlas lift is, my response is simple:

To strengthen my legs.

Currently speaking, my legs are insane. There is nobody in the gym with as strong legs as mine! Or out there in general? Not on steroids?

Theory:

Do I have the strongest legs in the world, for a man who is not on steroids? 100% natty?

The two are often at odds.

This is the way:

Everything happened not for a ‘reason’, but with enough fore-sight or hind-sight, everything in the long run … everything happened as it *should* have happened, for the most supreme best for you!

Even things which in the moment seemed like disappointments or ‘bad’ outcomes, ultimately helped you in the long run!

ZEN GOD MODE.

The zen god mode:

HYPE

Why *squat* when you can *lift*?

THE BEST WAY TO GET THE INSANE GAINS:

Some options are good, too many are bad.

For example, Apple is making a very bad marketing decision showing the iPhone Pro with all of the color options in one graphic.

The most useful thing I’ve learned from my real life; we are happiest and thrive the best when we are in public!

What is it that man desires? To keep on war campaigning!

Social life, public life is the best life.
