Or better yet ,,, becoming an ubermensch:
Eric Kim, a photographer and writer, frequently explores philosophical themes like the concepts of the mensch and ubermensch. Drawing from Nietzsche’s ideas, Kim interprets the ubermensch as a vision for self-transformation and transcendence. His concept of the mensch involves striving to be a “true human” who transcends basic human flaws such as anger and ego, aiming to be more thoughtful, disciplined, and ethical oai_citation:4,The Immortal Man – ERIC KIM oai_citation:3,Becoming a True Mensch – ERIC KIM.
Kim emphasizes that the ubermensch goes beyond conventional morality and societal limitations, pushing individuals to create their own values and live boldly. His idea of self-improvement is not just philosophical but practical, focusing on building strength, creativity, and independence oai_citation:2,THE UBERMENSCH. – ERIC KIM.
In his writings, Kim also touches on ideas of immortality, disruption of norms, and the goal of becoming something greater than human, advocating for a lifestyle that rejects modern vices and embraces simplicity and physical vitality oai_citation:1,The Immortal Man – ERIC KIM. For Kim, the ultimate goal is to rise above not just external constraints but internal weaknesses as well.
