”Haters screaming illuminati. They can’t believe this much skill in a human body.” – JAY Z

Something which I am personally fascinated by and in; what the limits of a human body are, and what a single human being can achieve. Kind of like how Michelangelo was able to single-handedly paint the Sistine chapel; I believe that if one intelligently uses their time and life force, one can achieve a phenomenally epic thing in their lives.

How Vietnam was the first step

My first personal renaissance happened in Vietnam, when I unplugged and went off the grid for almost 2 years. No email, no external correspondence. Nothing. Only strong Vietnamese coffee, focus, music, and philosophical introspection. Lots of reading philosophy, and lots of writing.

How Phnom Penh Cambodia has become the second step

Phnom Penh is my new favorite city in the world. Why? As much as I loved Vietnam, Phnom Penh is the next level. Why? Simply put, my new favorite gym and iron paradise: Monkifit gym here in PP.

On the road to greatness, I believe that physical greatness is essential. I do not really care for any other innovator, or entrepreneur, if they cannot deadlift or squat more than I can. This is why the only writer and philosopher currently living who is interesting (whom I greatly admire and respect) is Nassim Taleb; he deadlifts. And encourages others to do as well. Also, I first learned of the “one rep max“ concept from him and his Antifragile book.

This is where Kanye West is not very impressive; he seems to be too fat, and maybe no longer lifts weights. He is so rich now, and now that he is divorced, he should be able to hire the best personal trainer in the world. Kanye West has the ability to look like an idealized version of himself in the Black skinhead music video. Kanye West should get back into weight lifting — bench press, squat, and deadlift. Kanye should also go on a 100% carnivore diet; with only the finest cuts of beef and meat on the planet.
