For example, ultimately nobody cares for the lightweight boxers or in the UFC fighters— we only care for the heavyweights, the most powerful, the most supreme, regardless of weight or class.

Adding a gritty grainy function to iPhone camera?
This can make it the Ricoh GR killer. The closest thing is the provoke camera app, but it is to buggy, and not built in native to the iPhone.

New physical challenges?
As a child, your life is replete with physical challenges. For example, learning how to sit, then learning how to stand, then learning to walk, learning to balance, and traversing uneven terrain.
However once you become an adult, it seems that no more physical challenges exist.
Perhaps why the ancient Greeks and the ancient Spartans were so into combat, battle and war, is because there is a primal joy of physical challenges and conquest?
-
Maximize The Physical
What is the best way to raise a child? Maximize the physical with them.
Also with adults, we must become more physical.
Towards a new physical culture. We are the new Spartans!

Physical Challenges
Perhaps one of the paths to life is a life full of interesting physical challenges?

Satisfaction is for suckers
Once you’re satisfied, then it is your time to lie down and die.
-
Ambition is a virtue
Always aspire for more.
-
MacBook Air sucks.
Apple is a several trillion dollar company; why are they putting out such mediocre products now?
-
EXCELLENCE IS DEMANDED
And also, excellence is the standard and what is expected.

My ideal car doesn’t exist.
On that note … no ideal I have exists.

Unlearning is more robust than “learningâ€
Towards via negativa wisdom.

Happy Thoughts
Don’t blame anyone else for being unhappy.
Also, stay away from unhappy people like the plague.

What Will Make You Happier?
Theory; in modern-day society, we are not permitted to be happy? To be happy is a vice?
Why? If you’re happy, it makes others feel bad about themselves, because they are so unhappy. Happiness as a zero sum notion; your happiness takes away from my happiness, or makes me feel bad about myself.

ERIC KIM WARMUP
BEATS BY KIM
A simple warmup:
-
Everything always happens for the best.
And even if it doesn’t seem so, if you look long enough, or think long-term enough, know that you will benefit from it.
-
How to live a better life
The first thought is when it comes to living a “better“ life, maybe frequenting the gym at least once a day is a good idea
-
What is the point of life?
The first time is the point of life isn’t to just stay at home all day.
-
Optimize for creativity
For example, iPad is better for creativity than laptop. Also, MacBook Pro Touch Bar is better for creativity than MacBook Air and MacBook Pro without Touch Bar.
Also random thought, I wonder what car is also better for your creativity? Maybe a Tesla?
-
If you had unlimited money, how would you live your life differently?
Let us also consider that life and time is limited, whereas money as a construct is unlimited.
-
HARD CODED THINGS IS BAD.
For example anti hard coded function keys. Touch Bar is king,
-
THE MORE I USE MACBOOK AIR, THE MORE I HATE IT.
Screen is so dim?
-
The world is too small for my ambition?
Just got kicked out of my first gym, while traveling, in lieu of trying to atlas lift, ERIC KIM left eight plates and a 35 on each side, bending the bar. Apparently the owner was watching the CCTV, and was afraid.
Later on, I guess he was still watching me over CCTV, and witnessed me doing heavy rack pulls, and heavy floor benchpress, and then he kindly asked one of his associates to tell me that I wasn’t a “good fitâ€, and that he didn’t feel safe with my “unorthodox methodsâ€.
I got a refund and whenever, but the ultimate take away thought was, wow — 99.99% of the fitness world is backwards, and scared shitless.
Perhaps I do everything unorthodox, and that is where my strength lies.
