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.

Got this random ingrown toenails fixer, replete with these stainless steel sprinted extenders … only the Chinese would be smart and clever enough to actually come up with this, produce it and sell it to the American market! So smart.

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, â€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 hype 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 congratulates 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.

Social skill techniques, experiments, approaches
Some things you could do:
- Lock your headphones, AirPods, AirPods pros in a drawer, and don’t use them anymore. Instead, if you’re going to listen to music, just blast it on your iPhone at max volume, or play it off a bluetooth speaker. At the gym, go “raw dog†as my friend Kevin Hoang says. If you go to the gym without headphones or music on, the upside is you actually have the chance to talk to people! The gymnasium, the gym as a new social space to interact with other human beings.
- Practice hypelifting: The basic idea is that before you do a new one rep max, allow yourself to scream, shout, go primal, slap yourself in the face and legs, choke up, and just fucking lift it!
- Sign up for a yoga membership at a local yoga studio, whether it be CorePower or ra yoga. Chat with the person next to you, or when you’re in the locker room talk with other people there too. Think of going to a yoga studio as a social experience. Not “working out“
- Sign up for a local gym membership, which has a sauna. Make some small talk with other guys in the sauna.
- Cancel all of your media streaming services. If you want to socialize, just go to the gym, yoga, or the mall, and try to make small talk with anyone you meet.

How to Peacock
The virtuous art of showing off:
-
Money for the Sake of What?
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.

HOW TO FIGHT THE AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)
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?
-
What do men want from women?
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 TO LIFT 940 POUNDS LIKE A DEMIGOD
9 PLATES, A 35, AND A 2.5 POUNDER (ATTACHED VIA ERIC KIM BELT AND CARABINER), AND 55 POUND TEXAS POWER SQUAT BAR:
ATLAS LIFT IS THE WAY:
-
STRENGTHEN MY LEGS
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?

INSTINCTS VS SOCIETY

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE MOST SUPREME
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 GODS
ZEN GOD MODE.
-
DEMIGOD HYPE
The zen god mode:
-
Too many options are bad.
Some options are good, too many are bad.
-
When you advertise too many products and options, they all seem less valuable
For example, Apple is making a very bad marketing decision showing the iPhone Pro with all of the color options in one graphic.
-
Spend More Time in Public!
The most useful thing I’ve learned from my real life; we are happiest and thrive the best when we are in public!

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

Fuck up the world, F.U.T.W.
Social life, public life is the best life.
