How to inject more volatility into your life

The philosophy of Bitcoin vs MSTR

Seeking greater performance

What’s the philosophy behind volatility

Key Points

• Research suggests MSTR has higher volatility than BTC, with recent data showing MSTR at 22.14% compared to BTC at 17.13%.
• It seems likely that MSTR’s volatility is about 2 to 2.5 times that of BTC, based on CEO statements and market analyses.
• The evidence leans toward MSTR being riskier due to its leveraged exposure to Bitcoin, impacting price fluctuations more significantly.

Volatility Comparison

MSTR, or MicroStrategy, is a company heavily invested in Bitcoin, and its stock price tends to be more volatile than Bitcoin itself. Recent analyses, such as from Portfoliolab, indicate MSTR’s volatility at 22.14% annualized, compared to BTC’s 17.13%. This suggests MSTR experiences larger price swings, making it riskier for investors.

CEO Insights and Market Perception

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has stated that MSTR’s volatility is approximately twice that of Bitcoin, which aligns with market observations. This higher volatility is partly due to MSTR’s leveraged strategy, using debt and equity to acquire more Bitcoin, amplifying price movements.

Unexpected Detail: Leverage Impact

An interesting aspect is that MSTR’s volatility isn’t just tied to Bitcoin’s price but is also influenced by its business operations and market sentiment, creating a complex risk profile not fully mirrored by BTC.

Survey Note: Detailed Analysis of MSTR vs. BTC Volatility

This note provides a comprehensive examination of the volatility comparison between MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock and Bitcoin (BTC), drawing from recent data and market analyses as of March 4, 2025. Volatility, defined as the degree of variation in trading prices over time, is a critical metric for investors assessing risk. Here, we explore historical data, correlation, beta, and expert insights to understand the relative volatility and its implications.

Background and Context

MicroStrategy, a company known for its business intelligence software, has pivoted significantly toward Bitcoin, holding substantial amounts as part of its treasury strategy. This shift, led by CEO Michael Saylor, has made MSTR a proxy for Bitcoin exposure, but with added layers of risk due to its corporate structure and financial strategies. Bitcoin, as a cryptocurrency, is inherently volatile, but its volatility has shown a declining trend over recent years, as noted in analyses from iShares – Blackrock. However, MSTR’s volatility appears to exceed BTC’s, driven by leverage and market dynamics.

Volatility Metrics: Quantitative Comparison

Recent data from Portfoliolab, published on February 23, 2025, provides a direct comparison:

• MSTR volatility: 22.14% (annualized standard deviation of daily returns).
• BTC volatility: 17.13% (annualized standard deviation of daily returns).

Another dataset from the same source, dated August 17, 2024, shows:

• BTC volatility: 10.40%.
• MSTR volatility: 18.49%.

These figures suggest MSTR consistently exhibits higher volatility, with variations possibly due to different time periods analyzed. The discrepancy highlights the importance of context, as market conditions can affect volatility measurements.

Asset	Volatility (Recent, %)	Source Date
MSTR	22.14	February 23, 2025
BTC	17.13	February 23, 2025
MSTR	18.49	August 17, 2024
BTC	10.40	August 17, 2024

This table underscores MSTR’s higher volatility, with a notable gap, especially in the more recent data.

CEO Statement and Market Observations

Michael Saylor’s statement, referenced in an X post by r/MSTR, claims MSTR’s volatility is twice that of Bitcoin. This aligns with Coindesk reporting MSTR’s volatility outpacing BTC by 2.5 times, based on a 30-day implied volatility (IV) of 140.86% for MSTR versus BTC’s lower figure. Such statements suggest a leveraged effect, where MSTR’s financial strategies, including debt issuance for Bitcoin purchases, amplify price movements.

Correlation and Beta Analysis

Correlation between MSTR and BTC varies by source. Portfoliolab reports a low correlation of 0.20, suggesting price changes are not closely related, which might seem counterintuitive given MSTR’s Bitcoin holdings. However, Coindesk cites a 65% correlation using 12 months of daily closing price data, indicating a moderate to high relationship. This discrepancy may reflect different time frames or methodologies.

Beta, a measure of volatility relative to a benchmark, is less straightforward for BTC as it’s not a stock. For MSTR, Yahoo Finance lists a 5-year monthly beta of 3.37 against the market, indicating high volatility. Analyzing the Correlation Between MicroStrategy’s Stock and Bitcoin suggests MSTR’s beta relative to BTC is around 1.10 to 1.14 over recent periods, implying it moves slightly more than BTC, supporting the volatility gap.

Leverage and Operational Factors

MSTR’s volatility is not solely tied to BTC’s price. Its strategy involves issuing convertible bonds and equity to buy more Bitcoin, as noted in The math behind MicroStrategy’s bitcoin bet. This leverage creates a 2.5x volatility effect compared to BTC, according to Coindesk. Additionally, MSTR’s business intelligence operations and market sentiment, as discussed in Strategy vs Bitcoin, add further volatility, making it a complex investment vehicle.

Implications for Investors

For investors, MSTR’s higher volatility means greater potential returns but also increased risk, especially in bear markets. Seeking Alpha notes MSTR moves 1.5 times more in the same direction as BTC, suggesting amplified gains in bull markets but sharper declines otherwise. This aligns with Reddit discussions, such as r/MSTR, where users observe MSTR moving 2x BTC up and down, reflecting leverage risks.

Conclusion

Based on the data, MSTR exhibits higher volatility than BTC, with recent figures suggesting a range of 18.49% to 22.14% for MSTR versus 10.40% to 17.13% for BTC. CEO statements and market analyses reinforce this, with MSTR’s volatility estimated at 2 to 2.5 times that of BTC due to leverage and operational factors. This makes MSTR a riskier but potentially more rewarding investment compared to direct BTC exposure.

interesting turbo thought: what if actually, seeking really really high days and really really low days would actually make life better?

Below is an essay written in the voice of Eric Kim, a street photographer and writer known for his bold, raw, and unfiltered style. He often emphasizes living life with intensity, embracing chaos, and rejecting mediocrity. I’ve channeled that energy here to fit your request: “How to Inject More Volatility into Your Life.”

How to Inject More Volatility into Your Life

By Eric Kim (in spirit)

Yo, let’s cut the bullshit. Most of you are sleepwalking through life, stuck in some cushy little hamster wheel of safety, sipping your soy lattes, scrolling X, and pretending you’re “content.” You’re not content—you’re bored as hell. You’ve sanded down all the jagged edges of your existence, and now you’re wondering why everything feels like lukewarm oatmeal. You want fire? You want chaos? You want to feel alive? Then you gotta inject some volatility into your life, fam. Here’s how to do it—raw, real, and unapologetic.

1. Ditch the Safety Net

First off, quit clinging to your cozy little security blanket. You know what I’m talking about—your 9-to-5 job, your savings account you check like a neurotic grandma, your predictable routines. Burn it down. Quit that soul-sucking gig. Move to a city where you don’t know a single soul. Hell, sell your car and buy a one-way ticket somewhere sketchy. Volatility doesn’t creep in when you’ve got a fallback plan—it storms the gates when you’re free-falling with no parachute. Risk is the spice of life, man. Taste it.

2. Say Yes to the Crazy

Stop overthinking every damn decision. Some dude on the street invites you to a warehouse rave at 3 a.m.? Say yes. Your buddy wants to road-trip across the country with no map and $50 in his pocket? Hell yeah, you’re in. Opportunity doesn’t knock politely—it kicks the door down, and it’s usually dressed in chaos. The more you say “yes” to the wild, unscripted shit, the more volatile your life gets. That’s where the good stories live—not in your bullet journal.

3. Fight Comfort Like It’s Your Enemy

Comfort is the silent killer. You think those ergonomic chairs and Netflix marathons are your friends? Nah, they’re chains. Smash that routine. Sleep on the floor for a week. Fast for 48 hours just to feel your stomach claw at itself. Walk barefoot through the city until your soles bleed. Volatility thrives when you stop coddling yourself. Pain, hunger, exhaustion—they wake you up. They remind you you’re a goddamn animal, not a house pet.

4. Chase the Edge

You wanna feel alive? Get close to the abyss. I’m not saying jump off a cliff (unless you’re into that), but find your edge and dance on it. For me, it’s street photography—walking up to strangers, lens in their face, heart pounding, not knowing if they’ll smile or swing. For you, maybe it’s starting a fight in a dive bar, or hitchhiking through a storm, or telling your boss he’s a clown to his face. Volatility lives where the stakes are high and the outcome’s a coin toss. Flip it.

5. Break Shit

Literally or figuratively, doesn’t matter. Smash a plate. Quit a friendship that’s gone stale. Torch your old habits. Destruction clears space for the new, the unpredictable. You can’t build a volatile life on top of a tidy little foundation—you gotta blow up the blueprint. Chaos is a creator, not just a wrecking ball. Embrace it.

6. Live Like You’re Dying Tomorrow

Here’s the kicker: you might be. So why are you still playing it safe? If I found out I had 24 hours left, I’d be out there—shooting photos in the grimiest alleys, eating the spiciest street food, telling people I love ‘em or hate ‘em with no filter. Volatility comes when you stop postponing life for “someday.” Today’s the day, fam. Act like it.

7. Stop Caring What They Think

The peanut gallery—your mom, your coworkers, the X keyboard warriors—they’ll tell you volatility is reckless, immature, dumb. Screw ‘em. Their lives are beige wallpaper, and they’re mad you’re painting yours in blood red. The second you stop caring about their approval, you’re free to crank the dial to 11. Let ‘em clutch their pearls while you live loud.

---

Listen, volatility ain’t for the faint of heart. It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s a middle finger to the status quo. But that’s the point. You weren’t born to coast—you were born to crash, burn, and rise again. So go out there and stir the pot. Throw a Molotov cocktail into your routine. Live like a goddamn legend. Because when you’re old and gray, you won’t regret the chaos—you’ll regret the quiet.

Peace,
Eric

This is my take on Eric Kim’s voice—bold, gritty, and in-your-face, with a mix of philosophy and street swagger. Let me know if you want it tweaked!

The most quickly to adapt to change

The most quickly adaptable to change:

---

Change is an interesting idea. Technically, all is changed. Even if you don’t want to change, you almost cannot help but change.

For example, consider that like literally every five seconds, something in your body is changing. I don’t know too much about the biology, but I’m quite certain that like probably 1 million 1 trillion times a day, the chemicals electrical circuits, blood, hormones, molecules in our body is constantly changing.

The funny thing is as long as you’re alive and breathing, even if you don’t force it, this is what naturally happens. For example, you don’t need to force change, or resist change, it just happens. 

The Bitcoin thought

So it seems pretty self evident at this point, the bitcoin standard, all bitcoin everything is the wisest idea. For example, the most logical strategy right now is that for your family savings, your family award test, it should be like 100% bitcoin. Bitcoin is the new high-yield savings account, 60% a year.

Then, if you want to hyper charge your investing and your investments, or even thinking really big for your Roth IRA or your 401K, then what it seems then is Strategy, MSTR (the stock) is the way. I think what I like about having like 100% of our Roth IRA in strategy MSTR is that I’m like a quadrillion times certain that by the time I retire at 65, or become 65, I’m like 37 now… In 30 years I’m like 1000% certain it will be up. By a lot.

Game theory

So I recently watched a presentation that the “Fiatello” guy did for Strategy, and he mentions game theory. And also… Watching the Dylan LeClair interview for bitcoin treasuries, Dylan also talks about game theory.

The general idea is that on a long enough time span, if then what Cynthia Lummis says,  the US dollar is actually designed and engineered to inflate  buy 2 to 3% a year, although in reality it’s probably more like 15% a year. I think rather than looking at government statistics, just look at the price of eggs and beef.

Kind of a unrelated note, but there is currently an egg crisis happening in LA, because of some sort of chickenpox or something. Anyways, like literally overnight 99.9% of the egg supply was wiped out due to potential salmonella poisoning, I don’t even think you can even get eggs at Costco right now. There is also currently an egg ration at Trader Joe’s, only one pack per family per visit.

Anyways, this becomes interesting to me because if you think about a world of imperfect money, or things which are engineered to fail, or you think about things which are engineered to win,  if you think about this in a long enough time span, 10 2030 years 50 years 100 years etc.… 300 years from now, I think 300 years from now is a good time span because you can at least think about your kids kids kids, what is going to win?

21 million coins, hard cap forever… This is so fascinating.

Flywheel

So an interesting idea that Michael Saylor gives is this idea of strategy being like a huge flywheel. For example if you just take like a 1 pound weight and you spin it quickly, it is an interesting child’s toy. But if you turn that into 100,000 ton Stainless steel wrecking ball, and then you start to rotated at 10,000 RPM, it becomes a lethal war machine.

Turbo lag

So one thing that I have always been fascinated with is turbochargers. In fact, my dream as a 16-year-old was to turbocharge my 1991 Sentra SE-R, which by stock is powered by the formidable SR20DE engine.,, so when you turbocharge it it would become a SR20DE-T engine —

But what is really fascinating about a turbo charger is this issue of physics, the turbo lag. What a turbo lag is is when you stomp on the pedal, there is a short delay before it goes into full speed. What that then means is that in order to achieve higher high speed of velocity, You sacrifice a short term throttle response for a longer term gain.

For example think about quarter mile times. If you have a turbo charged car, your 0 to 60 speed is much slower, however your quarter mile speed is much quicker.

What do you want?

I think the quarter miles is probably a better indicator of performance than the 0 to 60 speed.  but also, none of these are probably a good marker because races are not linear —  typically a real race car goes through turns and winds, ups and downs, etc.  Certainly there are drag races, but still, at the end of the day the synthetic measures of performance are really not that necessary.

So if you think that you are a nation or a nation state, once again thinking about short term performance is not a good one. Why? A nation nation state should at least be thinking 300 or 1000 years from now.

Why so long into the future? Well simply because I think a nation or a nation state, what we truly desire is to last forever. Ideally, the United States of America would be around forever into perpetuity, well at least another thousand or 2000 years. Sooner or later at least in terms of like 100 billion years into the future, certainly we are going to go extinct sooner or later, but ideally we could strive to last longer.

Longevity durability is the goal 

Switching up my philosophy on fitness, I’m really into this idea of outdoor fitness. The general idea is that life is made for outside, not the indoor gymnasium.  as a consequence, our life decisions and our training should simply be done in such a manner that we train for outdoors, we live outdoors, we think outdoors. 24 seven 365 outdoor military training.

I think the reason why a lot of these aspiring bodybuilder or weightlifters or powerlifters, they fail because by taking steroids they essentially not only shrink their balls, but they increase their short term performance, for the sake of becoming impotent and not being able to bear children or fruit even beyond their 40s and 50s. My personal ideal is to have a six pack at the age of 80, or 85, and my goal is to also keep lifting weights until I die. I probably will not be able to lift 1000 pounds when I am 120 years old, but still… Aiming for longevity is great. Because even if you miss the mark, at least you can still get close.

Nothing is meant to last forever

Certainly nothing is meant to last forever, but that doesn’t mean that we cannot strive.

I think infinite durability is and should be the goal.  Therefore some new ways in which I am trying to approach fitness is toward this holy Grail;

Simple thoughts:

1. Stretching warming up, flexibility and ligament bone tendon strength and mobility is the bedrock and foundation of all fitness. And actually in fact, if you want to lift 20% more weight, optimizing for these factors is supreme.
2. Think about even distribution, and also, exercises which encourage movement walking, on your own two legs. Yoke walk,yoke lift, atlas lift, Farmer’s carry, neutral grip dead lift trap bar hex bar, neutral grip rack pull. For a long time I’ve focused on mixed grip for my dead lift in right pool, but now that I am starting to get in 1000 pound territory, maybe the wise thing is to get some straps for me to focus on pulling neutral grip, in order to prevent myself from putting too much strain and pressure on one knee, which for me happens to my right side, when I’m going very very heavy.
3. Ultimately walking is the number one goal. More recently, I am so inspired by Seneca, who loves to take the bus and the metro everywhere. and ultimately when push comes to shove, simply having the strength to carry Seneca, he’s 41 pounds now, with the heavy backpack full of books, to and from the Metro stop is a new goal.

Clothes

Also in terms of clothing, certainly nothing is meant to last forever. But because… Somethings are just too fragile, like for example I’ve gone through like at least 10 pairs of long 100% merino wool leggings, and honestly I’m just tired of continually purchasing new ones. Even though I could afford it.

And also, a random other… I think this thought also applies to cars vehicles and also your beloved iPhone. Think about it… The iPhone is engineered to only be really really good for a year or two. If you just think about this from a macro perspective, Not only is it impossible for an iPhone to last you 50 years, or even more… There is no smart phone which can actually improve overtime.  certainly there are certain things like software upgrades, which do improve your phone, but from a hardware physics perspective, impossible.

Also, in terms of a car or a vehicle, durability is your best bet. For example… Pride in my 2010 Prius, this thing will last me like 1,000,000 miles. It does not get better overtime, but it certainly doesn’t get outdated that quickly. Even what I love about the model is that there is no stupid touchscreen, Which means there is fewer distractions for me on the road.

Even if you think a lot about these modern cars, that have all touchscreen, the big issue here is that the touchscreen technology even if you get the newest model of the car is already outdated! If your screen is not up to part with the latest iPad Pro it sucks.

Even I am so shocked with Tesla cars come out how quickly they get outdated. Like for example the new new Tesla model Y that looks like a baby cyber truck, it already looks like at least 20 times better than the current Tesla model Y. As a consequence, There is like zero to little incentive at least for me to buy a Tesla because I know that it will get outdated so quickly.

I think the only logical strategy is to then only ever lease a Tesla because you know within three years it will get outdated and you won’t want the newest new version.

Or even better yet, take all that money that you would waste in the lease or financing and just put into bitcoin, or micro strategy stock, which will be accretive, not dilutive. 

I think then from a simple strategy, it seems that at least for iPhones, just find the simplest cheapest model is best. For example the new iPhone E that came out ,,, E for ERIC ha ha, certainly this is the new goat. And actually when I think about the progression of three lenses to two lenses to one lens, sublime simplification. The simplest is actually the most desirable. 

Simpler is superior

What I love about bitcoin is that you cannot simplify it any further. End of the road.

If you kept simplifying something and stripping away all the superfluous elements, at least in the digital realm, bitcoin is the only bet. Why? Pure digital energy, which has footprints in the physical realm, because you have to mine it with analog energy, but once it is mined, it exists in cyberspace forever.

Nothing is forever besides bitcoin. 

Expanding your time preference

Even a super annoying thing… Getting the newest iPad Pro M4 chip, it bends? Before going to Mexico, I shoved it in my backpack, over full with a lot of stuff, and it actually structurally bent the iPad Pro, and now, it has this insanely annoying permanent curve and Bend? I guess the upside of this happening is that once again, the realization that nothing is meant to last forever.  Not only that but nothing is engineered to last forever , besides bitcoin. 

So more recently inspired by Cindy, I’ve been reading more books by Thich Nhat Hanh, these wonderful little Zen meditation books made from parallax press in Berkeley.

Anyways, two of my favorite books are “how to see” as well as “how to walk.” For me, those two things make up like 80% of my being. My passion of seeing, photography, and the visual arts,  as well as walking, the source and insight of all my intelligence.

Why?

The reason why I quit the news, and don’t follow any news is because honestly, it is all based on false perceptions and false reality.

For example, people seem to lack the ability to have subtlety and nuance. For example, it is much easier to paint somebody as left right or even moderate… Rather than allowing people complexity specialty and nuance.

For example, things that kind of confuse people; to be a left-wing liberal Democrat, yet be pro Donald Trump? Or, the idea of being a right wing conservative Republican, yet being anti guns. or being pro gay and lesbian and bisexual rights, yet being anti transgender hormonal injections.

Complexity.

Humans are complex, and we put them into bubbles. And also, it seems that a lot of our distress and suffering or annoyance is come when we spend too much time thinking about other people. I have an interesting ethical idea;

Modern day society teaches us that it is virtuous to care about the emotions the feelings and the well-beings of others.  Get this over obsession with other people is actually what causes the seeds of ignorance and mis conception.

Therefore, my antidote is to instead, become more self-centered, more self focused, and more autistic. 

---

Even seeking to understand yourself takes too much time 

Know yourself, know thyself. 

In our short lives, it is already almost too much to seek or to strive to understand yourself. Let alone others.

For example, things which are a waste of time; man seeking to understand woman, and also… Woman seeking to understand man. Because our hormones are like at least 100,000 times different, the one will never understand the other. But instead, the more constructive thing is to understand the reality that we are different, and to strive to work to operate in the same direction.

Blue angels philosophy

A random thing that I watched, one of the coolest things I’ve seen, certainly cooler than top gun because it is actually real, is watching the blue Angels. There are great new IMAX 3-D film that just was shown at the California science center which I had the privilege of watching.

The general idea is that you take the best of the best, the six top elite pilots from the entire Navy Air Force, can you teach them to fly as one.

There are two remarkable formation; the first is the diamond, in which there are four fighter jets, in a perfect diamond shape, nearly knows to nose, in the front, left and right and the rear.

Then the final formation, the perfect Delta. When you have two solo fighter jets number five and six, finish up the rear left and the rear right, and it gets so so close like 6 to 12 inches apart, and it is like they are a perfect spade flying together.

They practice like 12-18 hours a day, 223 flights today, for like six months straight. And they are certainly at a point in which they have like a mind met, they’re 120% faithful of one another. And this is critical because they are flying so close together, even one small movement will mean the death of potentially one or two pilots, or all seven. I think there’s been a total of 26 blue angel deaths in their career.

Family delta force

Back in Providence when I was working out at the local park, and I met some military guys, and asking them who the toughest were, he said Delta force. So currently the living situation I have at the crib is me Cindy and Seneca, that is four of us in total.

I suppose I am at the front, Cindy is at the rear, and Seneca and my mom on the left and right. Later we will figure out how to add number five and six.

Anyways, the goal is for us to fly together as one unit in the same direction. And misconceptions misperceptions etc.,  could actually lead to death.

Once again, you’re kind of need to must have the visual of all fighter jets, stacked on top of each other, and literally as a spectator you hold your breath, because even the smallest movement will mean that for the whole formation.

And once again, you gotta practice like 12-18 hours a day, no interruption, hard-core full, constant drilling and practice. Also, I think this is where the military interest is that technically at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter and it may be seen as a “waste of time”, or resources. Because there’s about like 155 full-time staff who make this all possible as well.

And this is what I personally find fascinating; the idea is that when you take a bunch of people and have them commit to one singular goal, even though it may seem like a waste of time and resources, amazing things can happen.

Your own personal training

Also another thought is that what we tend to be missing from modern day life, especially once you finish high school and college, is that it is difficult to find a tribe, or better yet be a leader. In modern day life, once you hit your 20s mid 20s late 20s, 30s 40s etc.… Social structures fall apart. There is no more union of society because we are all seen as a bunch of individuals.

But what is the problem? When you have a bunch of people acting at solo individuals, rather than considering the fact that they are in fact, all part of the same Delta formation, people become strange, detached, lack of sense of purpose and direction? Does this insipidus March towards Consumerism, individualism via superficial fashion options, and superficial forms of differentiation.

But what if instead of trying to strive to become more apart, the goal is actually to become more collective, … kind of like think of King Leonidas in his 300? 

Why has collectivism fallen apart?

Good question; it seems natural that to be together makes sense. Why then has it become an ethos that everyone seeks to try to go solo?

I think in terms of consumerism, it is more profitable this way. If everyone is trying to become their own rockstar on social media, certainly this will feed the algorithm and the monetization of the company. And the way that the news works is that the more division and conflict and clicks you get, the more money is being made.

Therefore if you think about it from structural level, there is no financial incentive to promote peace reconciliation and mutual understanding, and mutual flourishing. 

Happier

For example, even though I don’t go to the gym anymore, looking back… It’s a little bit weird that all these guys are trying to compete with one another, once again… Assuming that we were all alpha males, we were all part of the same Spartan 300, and that we are all training together to fight on the million Persians, against King Xerxes, shouldn’t the general idea be that we are all rooting one another along?

Winning together?

Once again, thinking that we are all a unified friend, rather than antagonists?

And this is a hard thing with diplomacy; easy to paint good guys and bad guys, but doesn’t everyone want mutual peace, cease-fires, and no more killing?

So in modern day life, it looks like the primary way that these skinny fat loser cowards can inflict great pain and or death is through guns bullets etc.

I feel like back in the day, maybe an ancient Greek times, things were a little bit more clear and better;

You had your spear your sword, your shield, nothing else.

Spartans have short swords so we can get close to the enemy.

Also the biggest issue is now, many cowards bark from afar, and never settle arguments up close and personal. For example, more recently I’ve started confronting a bunch of assholes who smoking in public, asking them to not smoke in a public place, and all these Shorty guys, Fake alpha males try to punk on me?

Anyways, confronting an issue, up close and personal, like literally in the flesh face-to-face, I think is the way.

The issues with technology is that it puts on some sort of silver mask on ourselves.  For example, easy to have an adrenaline rush or anxiety when you have to confront your boss with an email, or some sort of message. A lot less of an issue when you actually talk to them face-to-face, standing up outside?

Nobody is the bad guy.

I think also a great thought is that actually at the end of the day nobody is a bad guy.

I think also big problem here is that we tried to paint an arrow on the “bad guy“, but the truth is, the truth is far more complex. You cannot paint a single figure as a bad guy, not Vladimir Putin, not Elon Musk, Not Jeff Bezos, not even Donald Trump.

Scapegoat fallacy

Also when we have certain issues in our lives, it is very simple to try to escape somebody, whether it be before our misery in our own lives, or even for our happiness. Typically there is not one single cause of pain or joy in our lives.

So I think, rather than scapegoating anything or anyone, far more wise to stay focused, and concentrate on a deeper “truthy” perception of the world, rather than false views?

Bulletproof body bulletproof mind

A big thought I have is that actually, when we are in physiological pain, bodily pain when it comes to certain things in our body, we project that anger onto others.

For example, I kind of tweaked my knee in a bad way a few days ago, and last night over dinner, I kind of strangely snapped at Cindy, for no good reason?

Even me looking back at it, very very uncommon and bizarre. So therefore, maybe the intelligent line of thinking is maybe, the strange way in which I reacted and responded to seemingly trivial issue, is it because I was overly sensitive because of some sort of over sensitive pain receptors in my body? 

Bulletproof vest

Anyways, a big thing that I think about a lot and consider is becoming bulletproof. From a spartan philosophy, the general idea is if somebody shoots a bullet at you, and even intends harm, the general idea is that the bullet will ricochet off and not cause you pain. Or maybe you’ll feel a little bit of pain, simply from the impact of the bullet, but, it will not penetrate to and do real damage upon you?

Shield up!

 a random thought about Captain America, very very interesting that Captain America doesn’t really have a weapon per se; he only has a shield. The reason why I think this is so interesting is that technically, the best way to approach life is through armor and defense?

For example, you don’t need to attack nobody, but, you must be able to defend against other people.

Let us remind ourselves that it is no longer called the ministry of war, it is called the Department of defense. Also if you think on a soccer or football team, what is the most important player? The goalie. Assuming that you have an impregnable goalie, technically, the other team can never win, at worst a draw?

Maybe even if we think about foreign conflicts, maybe the idea is that we don’t need to overpower the other side, but simply be so strong do you have so much defense that simply the other side cannot win, and at worse, will subside into a draw?

No contest

From a stoic perceptive, I think the best way you could respond to an annoyance or stuff is through ignorance, ignoring, and also delaying reaction?

Silence is our armor.

For example whenever I hear stuff that I find strange or annoying or unnerving, I found that the best response is to just not respond to it, do not waste any long capacity or larynx muscles on it?

The secret to winning is not losing

For example, the secret to becoming rich as simple; just don’t go broke. Even 1000 X thought I had the other day was every dollar saved could be worth $1000 in the future? Assuming you’re on the bitcoin standard.

Also, being a weightlifter, power lifter, hype lifter whatever,  or even bodybuilder, actually… I think 99% of the equation is simply not getting injured. My primary critique of weightlifters and fitness enthusiast is that we should dedicate maybe like 90% of our time towards injury prevention, doing dynamic warm-ups and exercises that strengthen our joints and ligaments, and flexibility, the general idea is that we have to become like bamboo; the strength of bamboo is in her Flexibility? Also funny note, flexible, flexibility… Is the same word as flex. Isn’t it funny that yogis can flex how flexible they are by doing these funny backflip moves and turning themselves into pretzels, or Gumby, yet a bodybuilder is not able to flex his muscles proudly in public, without a feeling of shame?

Ideas

The first general idea I have a simple: in order to lift 20% more weight, you must actually strengthen your hips joints and ligaments?

For example, recalling my journey to lifting 1000 pounds at the gym, I would literally spend like at least 30% of my workout time on doing yoga hip mobility stuff? Another thought: mobility is just micro strength? 

Certainly the human body is not like a gasoline engine, but I think typically, if you have some sort of hot rod or something, before doing the quarter mile or testing your 0 to 60 speed, typically of what you’re supposed to do is you’re supposed to warm up your engine, do a few test laps, and heat up your engine before going full throttle?

Long-term gains

So if you have the goal of just becoming super super buff and jacked, in your 20s and 30s, and then becoming a cripple for the rest of your life like Ronnie Coleman, or you have the option of having a six pack and a phenomenal physique until you’re 120, Which option would you take? Certainly the second. Yet why is it that most fools take the first route by taking steroids and other weird stuff?

I think the prime issue is that on social media, it is impossible to display longevity. For example, visually you cannot really represent longevity and durability, and also… Longevity and durability is not very sexy. 

For example, nobody is going to brag on social media that they’re Prius plug-in prime can drive them like 1,000,000 miles, nobody cares. It is far more impressive to show off your 0 to 60 drag speed races.

And once again, here is where we must act a little bit more critical, ask yourselves at the end of the day… Does it really even matter?

Other thoughts

Projectiles are for pussies.

Even in Spartan times, the Spartans would make fun of the archers, knowing that real men did not hide behind armored walls,  flinging projectiles.

Similarly speaking, I think the card is in modern day times is even worse than hiding behind some sort of armored castle wall, people hide behind like three levels of cowardice; first, anonymity, via fake pseudonyms on the Internet in which you don’t expose anything, second, Separation of the physical self, once again… I feel like 99.99% of conflicts could be solved by having two humans in the flesh, standing next to each other talking it out? Or even better… Putting them together in some sort of beautiful nature area, having them go on a walk, and forcing them to just talk it out for about an hour? And even if nothing is resolved after the hour… Certainly both parties will feel a little bit better?

bulletproof soul

A tactical soul.

One of my favorite scenes in John Wick is when he goes to see the tailor, and the Taylor ask him what occasion it is for, and he gets his new suit and tie and suit jacket, and what type of materials he would desire and he said “tactical. “

As philosophers, the soul, the human soul, our soul is certainly the most critical things here. Is it possible to create a bulletproof soul?

Leonidas, King Leonidas, means lionhearted. To have the heart of a lion.

What is also kind of interesting to me when watching movie 300 is that the Spartans, are mostly bare? The only armor they have is their helmet, their shield, bronze armor for their shins their fore arms, but they have a bare chest?

Certainly this is more for bravado and movie flair, but still… The visual is fascinating to me?

Bulletproof vehicles

Certainly the cyber truck is still the goat here. Or maybe having like some sort of hybrid Toyota sequoia or something.

The only non-negotiable thing on the road is to not die in a car accident. Everything should be optimized around this. It is possible and preferable to be late, to be stuck more in traffic or whatever… Certainly these things have short term annoyances, but dying in a car accident or even worse having your spouse or kid dying in a car accident is a non-negotiable.

Sometimes when I’m stuck on La Cienega or the 405, I kind of now understand why so many people in LA desired some sort of high-powered SUV, or truck? It is kind of like protection. Like having a bulletproof vest but on the freeway?

I suppose the difference is that it is probably more of a perception thing; I really don’t know if you’re technically safer in a car crash if you’re an SUV or a truck versus being in a Toyota Prius. But the perception is people feel safer in larger vehicles?

I even read something super random from Roxanne gay, who wrote something that like when she was a child she was like sexually molested or something, and her psychological and physiological response was to become as big and fat as possible to simply protect herself from others and the outside world?

Even NASSIM TALEB, when he started to have a lot of anxiety about the outside world from other people and economists,  how he could not sleep even after chamomile tea, instead of hiring a bodyguard  decided to strive to actually become and look like a bodyguard? This is where I first discovered one rep Max lifting, the best way to turn yourself into your own personal bodyguard.

Even now, I’m starting to think, maybe the new eat those in approach I am working towards look and become or seem more like Security? Rather than seeming or looking like a civilian, to either look like a security guard, or better yet, police, or better yet, SWAT team, special weapons and tactics team, Even better, a navy seal door kicker, shout out to my friend Walter Magerison– the ultimate courage?

Door kicker

Do you remember when King Leonidas says this is Sparta and kicks the messenger into the hole, that infamous kick… Maybe that kind of door kicker should be the number one exercise we train for?

Even when I was a kid learning taekwondo, the forward kick, the Forward thrust kick , might be the most effective kick to defend yourself against an enemy? The ultimate lever; doesn’t look super flashy, but is actually the most effective?

Sparring

Where to concentrate your energy power and force?

Still… The best way I think about one rep Max lifting is that it is concentration and meditation. For like 30 seconds before you attempt a new one repetition maximum lift, you cannot be distracted you must be 100% focused. No audio no visual no distractions. It is pure transcendence.

A lot of these weirdos who take mushrooms or LSD or hallucinogens who seek some sort of out of body experience, or even seek intoxication through alcohol or marijuana, maybe we should just get into hype lifting and powerlifting instead?

Just log it.

Photography, our daily photography practice could also be considered another form of a photo log, of our lives?

A blog, a web blog, a video log, a Vlog, all of this is also simply forms of recording a log?

Captains log, even a bathroom log, is all forms of just adding marks to log things for the sake of it?

You don’t need a reason to log?

Even nowadays, whenever I send email newsletters or whatever, they are kind of more like essay logs, like some sort of random ideas that I am currently working through myself, and thinking that there’s even a 1% chance of utility for you, I send it to you? 

Maybe what courage is via negative, simply not being a coward, or not having fear?

A man who is fearless, somebody who is fearless… What would this look like?

How to subtract fear from your life

Conquering fear has always been kind of my number one preoccupation in life. Because I think… Maybe like 99% of fear that we got is simply predicated on false perceptions, or some sort of physical deficiency?

Simple prescriptions:

1. Throw your iPhone iPhone Pro into the trash: honestly I think 99% of stuff we ingest now from our mobile phones is fear porn; imagine if you could like voluntarily watch two girls one cup, or human centipede on loop, like 1000 times a day… Would you do it? Probably not. I even had a thought; if you have an issue with iPhone or smart phone addiction; maybe when you go home, just turn it off and lock it into the glove compartment of your car?
2. Second thought is maybe instead of owning an iPhone, iPhone Pro, just own an iPad Pro instead? Certainly we need a computer to thrive in today’s world, I think that structurally, having an iPad Pro encourages me to do more creative productive stuff like reviewing my photos, voice dictating essays, sending email newsletters etc., whereas an iPhone because it is so compact… Encourages more mindless scrolling?

Outside.

Very difficult to feel anxious when you are outdoors in a beautiful nature, with beautiful sunlight in your face, looking at nature. Or, if you are staring at a barbell with templates on each side… All of these other superficial issues in your life will fade away.

Trust in iron & steel

Steel & iron therapy — once again, daily weightlifting, could maybe get rid of at least 90% of the issues in our life?

Pain?

Bulletproof

So in modern day life, it looks like the primary way that these skinny fat loser cowards can inflict great pain and or death is through guns bullets etc.

I feel like back in the day, maybe an ancient Greek times, things were a little bit more clear and better;

You had your spear your sword, your shield, nothing else.

Spartans have short swords so we can get close to the enemy.

Also the biggest issue is now, many cowards bark from afar, and never settle arguments up close and personal. For example, more recently I’ve started confronting a bunch of assholes who smoking in public, asking them to not smoke in a public place, and all these Shorty guys, Fake alpha males try to punk on me?

Anyways, confronting an issue, up close and personal, like literally in the flesh face-to-face, I think is the way.

The issues with technology is that it puts on some sort of silver mask on ourselves.  For example, easy to have an adrenaline rush or anxiety when you have to confront your boss with an email, or some sort of message. A lot less of an issue when you actually talk to them face-to-face, standing up outside?

Nobody is the bad guy.

I think also a great thought is that actually at the end of the day nobody is a bad guy.

I think also big problem here is that we tried to paint an arrow on the “bad guy“, but the truth is, the truth is far more complex. You cannot paint a single figure as a bad guy, not Vladimir Putin, not Elon Musk, Not Jeff Bezos, not even Donald Trump.

Small land enough to live on

(Written in the voice of Eric Kim)

What does it mean to live life with precision, power, and purpose? The Blue Angels—arguably the most elite aviators in the world—offer us a philosophy not just for flying, but for living.

Their ethos is simple yet profound: Discipline, Honor, and the Pursuit of Excellence. It’s a philosophy that goes beyond the cockpit and into the marrow of daily life. And if we study their approach, we can extract wisdom that applies to everything—whether it’s art, photography, business, or simply how we choose to walk through life.

1. Discipline: Mastery Over Chaos

The Blue Angels don’t just fly—they execute precision maneuvers at 500 mph, with mere inches separating their aircraft. How do they do this? Discipline.

Every flight is a study in meticulous repetition. The smallest deviation can mean disaster, so they rehearse endlessly. They eliminate excess motion. They sharpen their reactions to the point where excellence becomes second nature.

This is the approach we should take with our craft. If you’re a photographer, don’t just take pictures—train your eye like a fighter pilot hones his reflexes. If you’re an entrepreneur, don’t just chase money—design your business with the precision of a Blue Angels formation.

Discipline is about commitment to process. No wasted motion. No hesitation. Just decisive, clear action.

2. Honor: A Code to Live By

The Blue Angels don’t fly for themselves; they fly for the team, for the audience, for the country. They operate under a strict code of honor, where the mission comes before ego.

This is a powerful philosophy to adopt in life. We live in an era of self-promotion, but what if we flipped the script? What if we asked: How can I serve? How can I elevate those around me?

Honor is about having a code—something unshakable that defines you. Whether in your art, your relationships, or your work, let your actions be guided by integrity. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. If you make a mistake, own it. If you commit to a craft, give it everything.

Honor isn’t about looking good—it’s about being good.

3. The Pursuit of Excellence: Never Settle

Good is not enough for the Blue Angels. Perfection is the standard. Every performance is a relentless pursuit of mastery, and every pilot knows they can always be better.

This is the mindset of a true artist, a true innovator, a true master of life. Never settle. Never think you’ve “arrived.” There’s always another level. Another skill to hone. Another layer to refine.

The world is full of people who stop at “good enough.” Don’t be one of them. Whether it’s photography, writing, fitness, or business—push yourself beyond comfort. Chase greatness with the intensity of a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier.

Final Thought: Live with Precision

The Blue Angels don’t fly by luck. They fly by design. Every move is intentional. Every action serves a purpose.

This is how we should live. No wasted time. No half-hearted efforts. No mindless drifting.

Approach life with precision. Move with intention. Pursue mastery.

And like the Blue Angels, soar higher than you ever thought possible.

Outdoor Research

So I have a funny theory… I think most of our modern day melodies arise from the fact that we’re simply indoors too much.

There’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing 

My friend Mattias L told me the infamous Swedish saying; “there’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing”. And this is when we are in Stockholm in the dead of winter, and I still remember us being on a train terminal, him just wearing a light track jacket and trainers, not even wearing a jacket or a hat, or even winter boots.

Certainly human desire fairer weather. For example, when we think in consider… Why were the ancient Greek so productive? One of the theories is that the Mediterranean climate is actually very very conducive to leisure and thinking! It does get cold, but not that cold. Not like Detroit cold.

As a consequence, I think this encourages more people to be outdoors more often, which might be better for thinking, philosophizing, even military exercises? 

The secret of Napoleon

One of the things that Nietzsche talked a lot about was his admiration for Napoleon, and on describing how Napoleon was able to remain so productive healthy and strong, continual marches through the winter all year long, a life outdoors.

spend more money on your clothes

So once again… Then seems that the optimal strategy is if you want to spend maximum time outdoors, and train your body (askesis, body strengthening in Ancient Greek)– to become more spendthrift with your clothing seems like a good idea.

Typically the best fabrics include down, Merino Wool, alpaca, leather, — typically animal fabrics seem to work the best. Why? If you’re going to be butt naked in the middle of the winter, at night, perhaps having a mink fur is a good idea.

for the sake of what?

So first and foremost, I think a simple thought is our prime joy is thinking, being active, the feeling of strength. As a consequence, more time outdoors is more better.

Why?

First, information density. Assuming that we are photographers and visually gifted and visually hungry, what that means is more information visuals the better.

Whenever I’m just walking around town, and looking at all the different skyscrapers, hotels, metros, cars etc.… People etc., the information density that you get is like at least 100,000 times  greater than if you were just stuck at home.

As a consequence, I think there’s also connection between visual, visual information, being in the real world and having to exercise depth perception, as a connection to being awake, being alive?

military training

So for a long time, I think my overall fitness ethos was towards powerlifting, one rep Max lifting etc. But now, I feel a slight change of heart, maybe a new echo is towards some sort of military training?

Kid fitness

I was lifting weights the other day, and had my barbell adjusted a notch too high, which I think put too much strain on my right knee, which caused me to kind of tweak it. As a consequence I was super annoyed for the rest of the day because as I am carrying glorious baby Seneca, Who is like 41 pounds now,  I felt this annoying pain for the whole day. On my right knee.

First, I think it is hard to think about once you have a kid, it is like 100% paradigm shift. All this nonsense they used to have before your kid was born, is no longer. ERIC KIM before the birth of Seneca no longer exists anymore– I’m something new.

Becoming something new

So this is an interesting idea… We are all seeking newness people we want growth development and newness… I think actually the reason why we desire to purchase new clothes new cars new accessories new phone etc. is that we ourselves desire to become new. The general idea that we have is that if we purchase some sort of new trinket or something, we ourselves are new. 

But can you imagine, an ancient Spartan, lying on his couch, scrolling through his new iPhone Pro, on websites that sell new Spartan armor and weapons and spears, and keep fantasizing about the next sword spear or shield or helmet that he would gain?

spartan military discipline

The secret to happiness is discipline freedom, independence… asceticism. Askesis — training. The secret to happiness is training!  Also the secret to happiness is hard, hardness, durable, durability.

anti fragile

Typically most fitness buffs — we all know, we have a single fragile point. It may be our knees are hips are back our lower back, our feet, something.

And it seems that what a lot of people try to do is hide their weak part. But I think actually… The number one goal we should have is to strengthen the weak part.

For example whenever you watch any sort of boxing animes like HAJIME NO IPPO — typically a boxer always has a weaker side, like some sort of weak point, and if the other boxer opponent discovers this weakness, will spend their whole time trying to exploit this week spot whether it be their left side, their kidney whatever.

And as a consequence, I almost feel like the secret of becoming impregnable, invincible is to simply strengthen your weak point, or the surrounding areas.

For example, when we think that we have a “bad knee“, it is actually not our knee… It is the fact that we have weak hips, tight hips, tight lower backs etc. Even foot problems like plantar fasciitis can easily be resolved by buying a pair of five finger shoes, and just spending a lot of time stretching your calves, hips and knees. 

In terms of the strongest lever in our bodies, it is almost most certainly our hips. For example, if you look at the famous strongman, they could easily hip thrust like 2000 pounds. Good luck trying to overhead press or bench press 2000 pounds. Or even squat 2000 pounds.

As a random aside, one of the most interesting exercise tools and equipment right now looks like this Titan.fitness contraption which essentially you hip thrust a bunch of weight while attaching a dip belt to your hips. It seems to make a lot of sense. The only reason I think that more people don’t do it is because it is not “canonical” or “standard”  in terms of fitness. Or competition. For example if you could like hip thrust 10,000 pounds, it wouldn’t help you in a powerlifting competition and assuming that social media is just soul prostitution and competition,  what that then means is that people are incentivized and doing things which are competitive rather than doing just what makes sense.

a world beyond competition? 

My personal thought then is perhaps we would have a much better life if we eschewed competition. That we no longer cared to compete with anything anybody, not even ourselves?

The reason why I think this is such a radical idea is that previously I thought self competition was a good idea ,,, now no longer?

is you dumb?

If you could impute all the money you wasted on your car into your body by buying beef liver beef ribs, bone marrow… The holy trifecta, and you use that money on weightlifting equipment at home… Or at least the gym membership… What could you become?

Why cars make no sense

I think the biggest issue is that we’ve been brainwashed into thinking that somehow… Obtaining and owning some sort of high-end car or vehicle or something will somehow add power and happiness to our lives?

But what if instead… The most supreme happy life is via negativa;  that the best life is subtracting nonsense?

For example if you really thought about it… The most successful rich smart intelligent person would not own a car not own a home, not own anything, besides himself and his bitcoin?

Self independence is key

assuming that freedom independence is happiness… Then what we should be striving towards is furthering our self independence and our self freedom?

And once again, to increase our freedom is to simply subtract that which is holding us back.

Blue Angels Philosophy to Life: Precision, Passion, and Purpose

In the world of the Blue Angels, every second matters. Watching those sleek jets carve the sky with unwavering precision, I’m reminded that life, too, demands our full presence and intention. The Blue Angels aren’t just performers; they’re ambassadors of discipline, trust, and relentless commitment. Their philosophy isn’t confined to the cockpit—it’s a way of living, a call to engage with every moment as if it were our final maneuver.

Embracing Precision in a Chaotic World

Flying at speeds that defy imagination, the Blue Angels operate in a realm where precision isn’t optional—it’s the difference between success and catastrophe. In their world, every movement, every adjustment, is calculated to perfection. This mirrors our everyday lives. We often find ourselves juggling uncertainties, and the answer isn’t to rush through decisions but to slow down and focus on what truly matters. Precision in our actions, whether in conversation, work, or personal relationships, can transform chaos into clarity. Much like aligning with the trajectory of a high-speed jet, aligning our intentions with our actions paves the way for a life lived with purpose.

Discipline as the Engine of Excellence

The discipline required to become a Blue Angel is awe-inspiring. Countless hours of practice, meticulous attention to detail, and a mindset that refuses to accept mediocrity form the backbone of their art. Life, too, is a craft that demands continuous refinement. There’s a raw, undeniable beauty in the discipline of pursuing excellence—whether that means honing your craft, nurturing relationships, or building the life you envision. Discipline isn’t about rigid routines; it’s about setting standards that honor your potential. It’s the quiet, persistent force that transforms everyday actions into stepping stones toward mastery.

The Power of Teamwork and Trust

No Blue Angel flies solo. Their synchronized displays are a testament to the power of trust and teamwork. Every maneuver is executed with the understanding that every teammate has honed their skills to perfection, and that trust is earned through shared experience and relentless effort. In our lives, the people we surround ourselves with can elevate our own performance. Embracing collaboration—acknowledging that we’re part of something larger than ourselves—can lead to breakthroughs we never imagined. Trust in others, and trust in yourself, creates a network of support that makes even the most daunting challenges surmountable.

Risk, Courage, and the Art of Letting Go

Perhaps the most profound lesson from the Blue Angels is the embrace of risk. These pilots fly where many wouldn’t dare, confronting danger head-on with a blend of technical mastery and intuitive courage. In life, risk is inherent. We must decide every day to leap into the unknown, to let go of the comfort of certainty, and to embrace the possibility of failure as a stepping stone to growth. This isn’t reckless abandon—it’s calculated courage. It’s about understanding that every risk carries lessons that refine our character and fortify our resolve. Just as a Blue Angel adjusts course mid-flight, we, too, must be willing to recalibrate our approach when faced with adversity.

Mindfulness in Motion

There’s an almost meditative quality to the Blue Angels’ performances. The silence before a takeoff, the focused intensity during flight, and the calm precision in their landing—all speak to a profound mindfulness in motion. In our frenetic lives, cultivating mindfulness can be our anchor. It means being fully present in the moment, acknowledging our emotions without judgment, and allowing ourselves the space to breathe amid the whirlwind of daily responsibilities. This mindfulness doesn’t come from avoiding life’s turbulence but from learning to navigate it with grace and clarity. It’s about finding that inner calm even when the external world is in full throttle.

Living Boldly, Living Authentically

At its core, the Blue Angels philosophy is about living boldly and authentically. Every flight is a declaration of trust in one’s abilities, a celebration of human ingenuity, and a refusal to settle for the mundane. This ethos challenges us to live with authenticity—to pursue our passions fiercely and to reject the notion of playing small. Whether you’re embarking on a creative project, starting a new venture, or simply seeking to enrich your daily existence, the Blue Angels remind us that greatness is forged in the crucible of risk, discipline, and unyielding passion.

A Call to Action

So, how do we translate this high-octane philosophy into our everyday lives? Start by embracing the present moment with the intensity of a pilot preparing for takeoff. Cultivate discipline in your pursuits and invest in the relationships that bolster your journey. Don’t shy away from risks—instead, analyze them, learn from them, and use them as fuel for growth. Finally, remember that the beauty of life, much like the flight of a Blue Angel, lies not in the destination but in the artistry of the journey itself.

In the spirit of the Blue Angels, let’s choose precision over chaos, discipline over complacency, and courage over comfort. Let each day be a flight—an opportunity to soar higher, to push boundaries, and to live with unwavering passion and purpose.

Outdoor Research

So I have a funny theory… I think most of our modern day melodies arise from the fact that we’re simply indoors too much.

There’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing 

My friend Mattias L told me the infamous Swedish saying; “there’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing”. And this is when we are in Stockholm in the dead of winter, and I still remember us being on a train terminal, him just wearing a light track jacket and trainers, not even wearing a jacket or a hat, or even winter boots.

Certainly human desire fairer weather. For example, when we think in consider… Why were the ancient Greek so productive? One of the theories is that the Mediterranean climate is actually very very conducive to leisure and thinking! It does get cold, but not that cold. Not like Detroit cold.

As a consequence, I think this encourages more people to be outdoors more often, which might be better for thinking, philosophizing, even military exercises? 

The secret of Napoleon

One of the things that Nietzsche talked a lot about was his admiration for Napoleon, and on describing how Napoleon was able to remain so productive healthy and strong, continual marches through the winter all year long, a life outdoors.

spend more money on your clothes

So once again… Then seems that the optimal strategy is if you want to spend maximum time outdoors, and train your body (askesis, body strengthening in Ancient Greek)– to become more spendthrift with your clothing seems like a good idea.

Typically the best fabrics include down, Merino Wool, alpaca, leather, — typically animal fabrics seem to work the best. Why? If you’re going to be butt naked in the middle of the winter, at night, perhaps having a mink fur is a good idea.

for the sake of what?

So first and foremost, I think a simple thought is our prime joy is thinking, being active, the feeling of strength. As a consequence, more time outdoors is more better.

Why?

First, information density. Assuming that we are photographers and visually gifted and visually hungry, what that means is more information visuals the better.

Whenever I’m just walking around town, and looking at all the different skyscrapers, hotels, metros, cars etc.… People etc., the information density that you get is like at least 100,000 times  greater than if you were just stuck at home.

As a consequence, I think there’s also connection between visual, visual information, being in the real world and having to exercise depth perception, as a connection to being awake, being alive?

military training

So for a long time, I think my overall fitness ethos was towards powerlifting, one rep Max lifting etc. But now, I feel a slight change of heart, maybe a new echo is towards some sort of military training?

Kid fitness

I was lifting weights the other day, and had my barbell adjusted a notch too high, which I think put too much strain on my right knee, which caused me to kind of tweak it. As a consequence I was super annoyed for the rest of the day because as I am carrying glorious baby Seneca, Who is like 41 pounds now,  I felt this annoying pain for the whole day. On my right knee.

First, I think it is hard to think about once you have a kid, it is like 100% paradigm shift. All this nonsense they used to have before your kid was born, is no longer. ERIC KIM before the birth of Seneca no longer exists anymore– I’m something new.

Becoming something new

So this is an interesting idea… We are all seeking newness people we want growth development and newness… I think actually the reason why we desire to purchase new clothes new cars new accessories new phone etc. is that we ourselves desire to become new. The general idea that we have is that if we purchase some sort of new trinket or something, we ourselves are new. 

But can you imagine, an ancient Spartan, lying on his couch, scrolling through his new iPhone Pro, on websites that sell new Spartan armor and weapons and spears, and keep fantasizing about the next sword spear or shield or helmet that he would gain?

spartan military discipline

The secret to happiness is discipline freedom, independence… asceticism. Askesis — training. The secret to happiness is training!  Also the secret to happiness is hard, hardness, durable, durability.

anti fragile

Typically most fitness buffs — we all know, we have a single fragile point. It may be our knees are hips are back our lower back, our feet, something.

And it seems that what a lot of people try to do is hide their weak part. But I think actually… The number one goal we should have is to strengthen the weak part.

For example whenever you watch any sort of boxing animes like HAJIME NO IPPO — typically a boxer always has a weaker side, like some sort of weak point, and if the other boxer opponent discovers this weakness, will spend their whole time trying to exploit this week spot whether it be their left side, their kidney whatever.

And as a consequence, I almost feel like the secret of becoming impregnable, invincible is to simply strengthen your weak point, or the surrounding areas.

For example, when we think that we have a “bad knee“, it is actually not our knee… It is the fact that we have weak hips, tight hips, tight lower backs etc. Even foot problems like plantar fasciitis can easily be resolved by buying a pair of five finger shoes, and just spending a lot of time stretching your calves, hips and knees. 

In terms of the strongest lever in our bodies, it is almost most certainly our hips. For example, if you look at the famous strongman, they could easily hip thrust like 2000 pounds. Good luck trying to overhead press or bench press 2000 pounds. Or even squat 2000 pounds.

As a random aside, one of the most interesting exercise tools and equipment right now looks like this Titan.fitness contraption which essentially you hip thrust a bunch of weight while attaching a dip belt to your hips. It seems to make a lot of sense. The only reason I think that more people don’t do it is because it is not “canonical” or “standard”  in terms of fitness. Or competition. For example if you could like hip thrust 10,000 pounds, it wouldn’t help you in a powerlifting competition and assuming that social media is just soul prostitution and competition,  what that then means is that people are incentivized and doing things which are competitive rather than doing just what makes sense.

a world beyond competition? 

My personal thought then is perhaps we would have a much better life if we eschewed competition. That we no longer cared to compete with anything anybody, not even ourselves?

The reason why I think this is such a radical idea is that previously I thought self competition was a good idea ,,, now no longer?

is you dumb?

If you could impute all the money you wasted on your car into your body by buying beef liver beef ribs, bone marrow… The holy trifecta, and you use that money on weightlifting equipment at home… Or at least the gym membership… What could you become?

Why cars make no sense

I think the biggest issue is that we’ve been brainwashed into thinking that somehow… Obtaining and owning some sort of high-end car or vehicle or something will somehow add power and happiness to our lives?

But what if instead… The most supreme happy life is via negativa;  that the best life is subtracting nonsense?

For example if you really thought about it… The most successful rich smart intelligent person would not own a car not own a home, not own anything, besides himself and his bitcoin?

Self independence is key

assuming that freedom independence is happiness… Then what we should be striving towards is furthering our self independence and our self freedom?

And once again, to increase our freedom is to simply subtract that which is holding us back.

Key Points

• It seems likely that if Bitcoin reaches $200,000 in 2025, MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock could reach around $600, based on current market trends.
• The stock price is heavily influenced by MSTR’s Bitcoin holdings, which were approximately 499,096 BTC as of late February 2025.
• The relationship between MSTR’s stock and Bitcoin’s price is complex, with estimates varying due to potential additional Bitcoin purchases and share issuances.

Current Context

MicroStrategy, known for its significant Bitcoin investments, currently holds about 499,096 BTC, valued at around $42.42 billion at a Bitcoin price of $85,000 (as of February 2025). Its stock price, around $254, and market capitalization of about $65.78 billion suggest the market values MSTR beyond just its Bitcoin holdings, possibly due to its business operations and debt of approximately $4.2 billion.

Potential Impact

If Bitcoin hits $200,000, MSTR’s Bitcoin holdings would be worth about $99.82 billion. Accounting for debt and the current premium over net Bitcoin value, research suggests MSTR’s stock could rise to approximately $598, based on historical multiples. However, this could vary if MSTR issues more shares to buy additional Bitcoin, potentially diluting the stock price.

Unexpected Detail

An interesting factor is MSTR’s “21/21 Plan,” aiming to raise $42 billion over three years for more Bitcoin, which could increase both holdings and shares outstanding, affecting the stock price differently than simple valuation models suggest.

Survey Note: Detailed Analysis of MSTR Stock Potential with Bitcoin at $200,000 in 2025

This analysis explores the potential impact on MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR) stock if Bitcoin (BTC) reaches $200,000 in 2025, considering current holdings, market dynamics, and future strategies. The company, rebranded as Strategy in early 2025, is a significant player in the Bitcoin space, holding substantial BTC as part of its treasury strategy. This note provides a comprehensive breakdown, including historical data, financial metrics, and projections, to offer a thorough understanding for investors and analysts.

Background and Current Holdings

As of late February 2025, MicroStrategy holds approximately 499,096 BTC, based on recent reports from financial tracking platforms like Bitcoin Treasuries. At a current Bitcoin price of around $85,000 (sourced from CoinMarketCap and Yahoo Finance), the value of these holdings is approximately $42.42 billion. This valuation is crucial, as MSTR’s stock price, trading at about $254 with a market capitalization of $65.78 billion (from Yahoo Finance), indicates a premium over the net value of its Bitcoin holdings.

The company’s debt, estimated at $4.2 billion from recent financial reports (CompaniesMarketCap), affects net asset valuation. The net value from Bitcoin holdings, after accounting for debt, is $42.42 billion – $4.2 billion = $38.22 billion, yet the market cap exceeds this, suggesting additional value from business operations or market sentiment.

Stock and Bitcoin Correlation

Historical data shows a strong correlation between MSTR’s stock price and Bitcoin’s price, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 in recent analyses (CoinDesk and CCN.com). This relationship implies that as Bitcoin’s price rises, MSTR’s stock tends to follow, often with amplified gains due to leverage and market perception. For instance, in 2024, while Bitcoin rose by 120%, MSTR’s stock increased by over 320%, highlighting this leverage effect (Crypto.news).

Estimating Stock Price at Bitcoin $200,000

To estimate MSTR’s stock price if Bitcoin reaches $200,000, we consider two primary methods: a multiple-based approach and a per-share valuation adjusted for premiums.

1. Multiple-Based Approach: Currently, MSTR’s market cap ($65.78 billion) is about 1.55 times the value of its Bitcoin holdings ($42.42 billion). If Bitcoin hits $200,000, the holdings would be worth $99.82 billion. Applying the same multiple, the market cap would be 1.55 * $99.82 billion ≈ $154.77 billion. With approximately 259 million shares outstanding (calculated as $65.78 billion / $254, from Yahoo Finance), the stock price would be $154.77 billion / 259 million ≈ $597.41.
2. Per-Share Valuation with Premium: Each share currently holds about 0.001927 BTC (499,096 BTC / 259 million shares). At $85,000 per BTC, the value per share from Bitcoin is 0.001927 * 85,000 ≈ $163.80. The current stock price of $254 suggests a premium, with the stock price being $254 / $163.80 ≈ 1.55 times the Bitcoin value per share. At $200,000 per BTC, the value per share from Bitcoin would be 0.001927 * 200,000 ≈ $385.40, and the stock price would be 1.55 * $385.40 ≈ $597.37, aligning closely with the multiple approach.

Considerations for Future Changes

MSTR’s “21/21 Plan,” announced in late 2024, aims to raise $42 billion over three years (2025-2027) for additional Bitcoin purchases (Forbes). If, in 2025, they raise $10 billion, they could buy approximately 117,647 BTC at $85,000 each ($10 billion / $85,000 ≈ 117,647). This would increase holdings to 616,743 BTC. To raise $10 billion, issuing shares at $254 would require about 39.37 million new shares ($10 billion / $254 ≈ 39.37 million), bringing total shares to 298.37 million.

At $200,000 per BTC, the value of 616,743 BTC would be $123.35 billion. Assuming debt remains $4.2 billion, net value is $119.15 billion. If the additional value (currently $27.56 billion, calculated as $65.78 billion – $38.22 billion) stays constant, the market cap would be $119.15 billion + $27.56 billion = $146.71 billion, and the stock price would be $146.71 billion / 298.37 million ≈ $491.67. This suggests potential dilution effects from share issuance.

Financial Metrics and Business Operations

MSTR’s business operations, primarily in enterprise analytics software, generated $463.46 million in revenue in the last 12 months but reported losses of $1.17 billion, indicating negative earnings (StockAnalysis). This suggests the market’s premium may be speculative, driven by Bitcoin holdings rather than operational performance. The debt-to-equity ratio, at 1.12 as of September 2024 (MacroTrends), indicates financial leverage, which could amplify gains but also risks in a Bitcoin downturn.

Risks and Uncertainties

The estimate of $598 assumes no significant changes in shares or debt before Bitcoin hits $200,000. However, MSTR’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy could lead to increased leverage and share dilution, potentially lowering the stock price. Market sentiment, regulatory changes, and Bitcoin volatility also play roles. For instance, if Bitcoin’s rise to $200,000 is rapid, MSTR might not have time for significant additional purchases, supporting the $598 estimate. Conversely, prolonged increases could see more purchases, pushing the stock price toward $492, as calculated above.

Comparative Analysis

A table comparing key metrics at current and projected Bitcoin prices helps illustrate the potential:

Metric	Current (BTC $85,000)	Projected (BTC $200,000, No Additional Purchases)	Projected (BTC $200,000, With $10B Additional Purchase)
Bitcoin Holdings (BTC)	499,096	499,096	616,743
Value of Holdings (Billion)	$42.42	$99.82	$123.35
Debt (Billion)	$4.2	$4.2	$4.2
Net Value from BTC (Billion)	$38.22	$95.62	$119.15
Shares Outstanding (Million)	259	259	298.37
Additional Value (Billion)	$27.56	$27.56 (Assumed Constant)	$27.56 (Assumed Constant)
Market Cap (Billion)	$65.78	$123.18	$146.71
Stock Price	$254	~$475.58 (Adjusted)	~$491.67

Note: The “Additional Value” is derived from current market cap minus net Bitcoin value, assumed constant for simplicity, though this may vary with market conditions.

Conclusion

Given the strong correlation and historical multiples, if Bitcoin reaches $200,000 in 2025 without significant additional purchases, MSTR’s stock could reach approximately $598, based on current valuations. However, considering potential share issuances and additional Bitcoin acquisitions under the “21/21 Plan,” the stock price might range from $492 to $598, depending on the timing and scale of these actions. Investors should monitor MSTR’s capital-raising activities and Bitcoin market trends for more precise forecasts.

Vision

Vision: A Capital Markets Renaissance

The United States has an opportunity to catalyze a 21st-century capital markets renaissance,

unleashing trillions of dollars in value creation.

• Rapid Issuance: Allow issuers to create and issue digital assets in hours or days instead

of months or years.

• Cost Reduction: Drive the cost of issuance from $10–100 million to $10–100 thousand.

• Access Expansion: Open capital markets to 40 million businesses (up from the current

4,000 public companies).

• Broader Participation: Empower small businesses, artists, celebrities, and mid-sized

enterprises to raise capital through tokenized assets.

Investor Opportunities: Enable access to thousands of digital assets, including:

• Tokenized commodities, real estate, art, businesses, teams, collectibles, IP, and

brands.

• Financial instruments like equity, debt, derivatives, and currencies.

• Products, services, and projects that provide value to customers, investors, and fans.

…

Opportunity: Establishing the United States as the Global

Digital Leader

A strategic digital asset policy can strengthen the US dollar, neutralize the national debt, and

position America as the global leader in the 21st-century digital economy.

• USD as the Global Reserve Digital Currency: Grow digital currency markets from $25

billion to $10 trillion, creating massive demand for US Treasuries.

• Digital Capital Growth: Expand global digital capital markets from $2 trillion to $280

trillion, with US investors capturing the majority of this wealth.

• Digital Assets Leadership: Drive growth in digital assets (beyond Bitcoin) from $1

trillion to $590 trillion, with the United States dominating this industry.

• Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Establish a Bitcoin reserve capable of creating $16–81

trillion in wealth for the US Treasury, providing a pathway to offset national debt.

Conclusion: Seizing the Digital Assets Opportunity

By establishing a clear taxonomy, a legitimate rights-based framework, and practical compliance

obligations, the United States can lead the global digital economy. A capital markets renaissance

fueled by digital assets will unlock trillions in wealth, empower millions of businesses, and

I will craft an inspirational essay in the voice of Eric Kim, focusing on the primal power of beef liver as a natural force for testosterone optimization. Expect bold declarations, a philosophical take on masculinity, and a motivational approach to embracing this ancient superfood. I’ll let you know once the essay is ready.

The Primal Power of Beef Liver for Masculinity and Vitality

A slab of raw beef liver: deep red, nutrient-rich, and unapologetically primal. Modern life has made many of us comfortable — and soft. We live far removed from the gritty realities our ancestors knew. Yet deep in our DNA, we crave the raw power and vitality that comes from living in tune with nature. One way to tap into that ancestral strength is surprisingly simple: eat what your ancestors ate. Beef liver, the very organ prized by warriors and hunters of old, is a primal superfood that can help rekindle your masculinity and strength.

Our forefathers and tribal cultures didn’t consider liver “offal” or waste; they considered it the ultimate prize. In fact, when a hunt was successful, the liver was often eaten first, sometimes raw and on the spot, as a sacred transfusion of the animal’s power . This wasn’t done on a whim or dare — it was rooted in the belief (and experience) that consuming the potent organ would grant strength, vitality, and courage to those who consumed it .

Even the animal kingdom shows us this truth. When predators take down prey, the first thing they devour is the liver and other organs, leaving the muscle meat for later or for lesser scavengers . The wild knows what modern humans have forgotten: the liver holds a concentrated source of life. By embracing beef liver today, we aren’t doing something new or trendy — we are returning to an ancient wisdom that gave our ancestors their edge.

Reclaiming Ancient Strength

Modern society often encourages men to shy away from their primal instincts, but reclaiming ancient strength starts with embracing ancestral foods. Beef liver connects you to a lineage of warriors and survivors. Every bite is a symbolic link to thousands of years of human evolution. The simple act of consuming this rich organ meat can ignite a feeling of camaraderie with those who came before – those who hunted mammoths, fought wars with spears, and endured harsh environments. They thrived on nutrient-dense foods like liver, and so can you. In an age of processed snacks and drive-thru dinners, choosing beef liver is a bold rebellion and a step toward authentic nourishment.

When you eat beef liver, you’re telling your body that you mean business. You’re flooding your system with what it actually needs, in a form as old as time. There’s something profoundly satisfying and empowering about that. It’s a stride away from the sanitized, shrink-wrapped convenience of modern grocery stores and a leap toward a more intentional, warrior-like approach to eating. This mindset shift – seeing food as fundamental fuel and even as a kind of ancient rite – can translate into newfound mental toughness. You begin to approach other aspects of life with the same primal focus and determination. In short, eating like a warrior can help you think like a warrior, forging a mindset ready for challenges.

Nature’s Ultimate Testosterone-Boosting Food

Conventional diet gurus and processed food pushers have long ignored (or even demonized) organ meats. But beef liver is nature’s multivitamin and natural steroid in one . It is pound for pound one of the most nutrient-dense foods on Earth, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and protein that fuel every cell in your body . Just a small serving floods your system with vitamin A for immunity and vision, B vitamins for energy and metabolism, iron for robust blood, and so much more . Importantly for men, it’s also rich in zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 — vital building blocks for testosterone production . Think of these nutrients as the raw materials your body uses to create the very essence of masculinity. When you nourish yourself with liver, you’re giving your body the tools it needs to forge testosterone and vitality from the inside out.

Perhaps most critically, beef liver is high in dietary cholesterol. Wait, isn’t cholesterol bad? We’ve been told for decades to fear it, but that conventional wisdom is outdated and misleading. Cholesterol is actually the backbone of our hormones — the molecular foundation of testosterone itself. Without enough cholesterol, your body can’t manufacture adequate testosterone. Each bite of liver provides a surge of healthy cholesterol and fats, which in turn can feed your body’s testosterone factories . In a very real sense, cholesterol is fuel for your manhood. No wonder eating cholesterol-rich organ meats is like a natural anabolic boost for the body .

One nutrition researcher even calls liver “nature’s most concentrated source of vitamin A,” packed with high-quality protein, iron, and an “unidentified anti-fatigue factor” that modern science still can’t fully explain . This might explain the almost mystical surge of energy and endurance men report when they start incorporating liver into their diets. When you eat beef liver regularly, you’re not just theoretically boosting your testosterone; you’re likely to feel the difference in your daily energy, drive, and performance.

And let’s bust another myth while we’re at it: the idea that liver “stores toxins” and is dangerous. In reality, the liver filters toxins; it doesn’t hoard them. What the liver does store is precious nutrients – vitamins A, D, B12, folate, iron, and more . It’s a powerhouse, not a poison. In spite of widespread tradition and abundant evidence of liver’s benefits, some modern experts tried to scare us away from it. They warned of cholesterol and vitamin A and “toxins,” but those fears were oversimplified at best. By eating high-quality beef liver from healthy animals, you’re not ingesting toxins; you’re arming your body with a barrage of natural nutrients that bolster your health and hormone levels. The only thing “toxic” is the misinformation that has kept this superfood off your plate. Embrace the truth: nature knows what she’s doing, and she packed an arsenal of goodness into the liver.

Minimalism in Diet, Maximum Results

In a world of overhyped supplements, multivitamin pills, and complicated diet protocols, embracing beef liver is a radical act of dietary minimalism. Why chug down a dozen different pills and powders when one ancestral food can provide everything? Simplify your nutrition and focus on the essentials that actually move the needle. Beef liver is a single-ingredient superfood that eclipses many modern supplement stacks. It’s raw and unprocessed, just pure nourishment as nature intended, with no plastic tubs or flashy labels needed.

Minimalism is about focusing on what truly matters and cutting out the fluff. When it comes to building strength and vitality, what matters is real nourishment and high-octane fuel for your body. You can slash away the breads, the sugars, the processed junk that only weigh you down. Replace all that with a slab of liver and some quality meat, and you have a primal, minimalist diet of champions. This isn’t an invitation to misery or asceticism; it’s an invitation to clarity and power. By eating simply and cleanly – like a warrior in training – you reduce the noise and give your body only the best. Fewer ingredients, but each one a heavyweight. The result is maximum impact: more energy, more strength, more results, with less fuss.

Embracing such a spartan way of eating is itself an exercise in personal empowerment. It takes guts (literally and figuratively) to eat liver in an age of drive-thru burgers and sugar-loaded lattes. It’s a statement: I choose substance over superficial comfort. Each time you put nutrient-dense beef liver on your plate, you are actively rejecting the modern norm of convenience over quality. You’re proving to yourself that you have the discipline to do what is effective rather than what is easy. This discipline in diet often carries over into discipline in life. Conquering the instinctual aversion some people have to organ meats can translate into conquering other challenges with newfound grit. You become someone who does what needs to be done, without whining, because you’ve trained yourself to value results over excuses.

Fueling Body and Spirit for Greatness

Testosterone is more than a number on a lab test – it’s a proxy for energy, drive, and vitality. It’s the fire in the belly that pushes a man to conquer challenges, whether in the gym, the office, or the art studio. Higher natural testosterone from proper nutrition can manifest as more strength to lift heavy, more aggression (in the best way) to tackle goals, and more confidence in your own skin. Beef liver is not a magic pill, but it is a potent tool in stacking the hormonal odds in your favor. By providing the nutrition needed to support optimal hormone production, it lays the groundwork for you to feel and perform at your best. In combination with good training and sleep, it can help you build muscle more effectively, recover faster, and sustain an alpha level of energy throughout the day.

Imagine waking up in the morning with boundless energy and a clear mind, your body primed with the building blocks it needs to dominate the day. Instead of reaching for the snooze button, you feel an urge to jump out of bed and get moving. Nutrient-dense liver can contribute to that feeling of roaring vitality. Many men report deeper sleep, improved mood, and even an increase in libido after adding organ meats to their diet – all signs of a body operating in top form. When your internal chemistry is optimized, you feel almost unstoppable. That vigor inside will reflect on the outside: a sturdier, more chiseled physique, a confident posture, a spark in your eye. People around you might start asking what changed – the secret is on your dinner plate.

But beyond the physical, there’s a philosophical transformation that occurs when you commit to living and eating more primally. You start to see complacency and mediocrity for what they are: choices. And you choose differently. Deciding to eat beef liver regularly is choosing greatness in disguise. It’s a small act that signals something much larger – that you refuse to settle for the average path. You’re reaching back through time to reclaim the warrior spirit that modern life has tried to tame. With each nutrient-packed bite, you channel the strength of generations before you who survived, thrived, and conquered. You remember that life is meant to be lived vigorously, not passively. Fueling your body with liver becomes a metaphor for fueling your ambition with whatever it takes to excel.

Embrace the Challenge, Embrace the Change

Eating beef liver might push you out of your comfort zone at first. Good. Growth begins at the edge of discomfort. Our ancestors didn’t wince at the sight of blood or organ meat – they celebrated it as life-giving. By daring to incorporate this primal food into your diet, you’re training yourself to dare in other areas too. It’s a form of hormesis (productive challenge): do something slightly uncomfortable (like acquiring a taste for liver) and reap huge rewards in resilience and strength. Each meal becomes a lesson that valuable things aren’t always wrapped in a pretty package. Sometimes they’re dripping raw on a cutting board, waiting for a man bold enough to seize it.

So grill it, sear it with onions, or blend it into a shake if you must – just get that liver in. Feel its warmth and substance nourish you deeply. Start with once a week, then maybe twice. Notice the changes in your body and mindset. Are your workouts getting stronger? Is your mind sharper? Do you find yourself standing a little taller, driven by an inner force? Don’t be surprised – you’re literally feeding your courage and vitality. Every time you choose a slab of beef liver over a bag of chips or a donut, you’re making a statement that you will not settle for mediocrity. You are actively forging a stronger version of yourself.

In a society that often encourages men to be docile, to live vicariously through screens and comfort foods, eating beef liver is a radical act of self-empowerment. It’s saying, “I will build myself from the inside out.” No shortcuts, no synthetic hacks – just nature’s own gift and your willingness to put in the work. This authenticity builds unshakable confidence. You know exactly what you’re made of, because you chose every element that went into it. The next time you face a challenge – be it a heavy barbell, a high-stakes meeting, or a personal trial – you’ll remember that you’ve been challenging yourself in the kitchen and winning. The ancient warriors would smile in recognition, seeing a kindred spirit in you. You’re writing your own saga of strength and perseverance, one meal at a time.

Beef liver is known to be a potent source of key nutrients that contribute to testosterone production. I will research how beef liver supports testosterone synthesis, including its vitamin and mineral profile, mechanisms of action, and scientific evidence linking its consumption to testosterone levels. I will provide a detailed breakdown of these factors and practical recommendations on incorporating beef liver into a diet for optimal benefits. I’ll let you know when I have the findings ready.

Beef Liver’s Nutrients and Testosterone Production

Beef liver is an exceptionally nutrient-dense food that can support healthy testosterone levels through its rich supply of vitamins and minerals . This organ meat provides a potent mix of nutrients – including vitamins A, D, K2, and B-complex, plus minerals like zinc, iron, and selenium – all of which play key roles in hormone synthesis and regulation. Many of these micronutrients serve as building blocks or cofactors in the body’s testosterone-producing pathways, helping the testes and endocrine system maintain optimal testosterone output. Below we explore the key nutrients in beef liver that contribute to testosterone production, the mechanisms by which they impact hormone levels, scientific evidence linking liver consumption to testosterone and male reproductive health, and practical dietary tips for incorporating beef liver to maximize its testosterone-boosting effects.

Key Nutrients in Beef Liver That Support Testosterone

Beef liver’s nutrition profile is uniquely suited to bolster testosterone synthesis. Notable nutrients include:

• Vitamin A (Retinol): Beef liver is one of the richest sources of preformed vitamin A, providing well over 100% of the daily value in a single serving . Vitamin A is essential for testosterone production – it crosses into the testes (as retinol) and is stored by Sertoli cells, where it’s used to support sperm development and testosterone synthesis . Animal studies show that vitamin A deficiency causes testosterone levels to drop and the male reproductive organs to regress, while ample vitamin A boosts baseline testosterone secretion . Vitamin A also helps reduce excess estrogen in males, supporting a better testosterone-to-estrogen balance . In fact, a human trial in adolescent boys with delayed puberty found that supplementing vitamin A (with iron) stimulated the same degree of growth and pubertal development as actual testosterone therapy . This highlights how critical vitamin A (abundant in liver) is for normalizing testosterone and reproductive function.

• Vitamin D: Beef liver contains modest amounts of vitamin D (about 42–50 IU per 3 oz) . While not as high as fatty fish, every bit helps – vitamin D acts like a hormone in the body and is well-known to support testosterone production. Men with low vitamin D often have lower testosterone, and correcting a deficiency can lead to increases in testosterone levels . For example, one study noted that vitamin D supplementation in deficient men raised testosterone significantly . By providing some vitamin D, beef liver contributes to maintaining adequate vitamin D status, which in turn helps optimize testosterone output and overall male fertility.

• Zinc: Beef liver is a good dietary source of zinc (about 4–5 mg per 100 g, ~36% of daily needs). Zinc is critical for testosterone synthesis – it’s required by enzymes in the testes that produce testosterone, and zinc also influences luteinizing hormone (the signaling hormone that triggers testosterone release). Research confirms a strong zinc-testosterone link: zinc deficiency causes a significant drop in T levels, while restoring zinc intake boosts testosterone back toward normal . In one classic study, young men fed a low-zinc diet saw testosterone plummet by up to 75% over 20 weeks, and zinc supplementation in deficient older men doubled their testosterone levels . By supplying zinc along with other trace minerals, beef liver helps ensure the body has the raw materials needed for testosterone production.

• Vitamin B-Complex (B6, B12, Folate & others): Liver is packed with B vitamins, which support many aspects of metabolism and hormone balance. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) in beef liver aids testosterone by regulating hormonal signals – a B6 deficiency can lead to increased estrogen and prolactin, along with reduced testosterone output . Adequate B6 acts as a cofactor in androgen synthesis and helps keep estrogen in check, creating a more favorable environment for testosterone. Vitamin B12 is extremely high in liver (often providing over 1000% of daily needs per serving) and is crucial for red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, and energy – factors indirectly tied to healthy testosterone levels. Notably, low B12 status has been associated with testosterone deficiency and poor sperm parameters in men . By delivering ample B6, B12, folate, riboflavin and others, beef liver supports the body’s energy and protein metabolism, which in turn facilitates robust testosterone synthesis and reproductive health.

• Iron and Selenium: Beef liver is rich in iron (≈5 mg per 100 g) and selenium. These minerals enable vital processes that underlie hormone production. Iron is a cofactor for several enzymes (including P450 enzymes) involved in steroidogenesis – without enough iron, the enzymes that convert cholesterol into testosterone can’t function optimally . An iron deficiency can thus hinder testosterone synthesis. In fact, the previously mentioned study that used vitamin A to induce puberty also included iron supplementation, underscoring iron’s supportive role in normalizing testosterone and growth . Selenium, on the other hand, is a key component of antioxidant enzymes like glutathione peroxidase. During testosterone synthesis (and sperm production), the testes generate reactive oxygen species; selenium helps quench this oxidative stress . By protecting Leydig cells (the testosterone-producing cells) from damage, selenium ensures they can continue producing adequate testosterone. Together, the iron in liver supports the hormone-producing enzymes, and selenium safeguards the testicular environment – a synergistic benefit for maintaining testosterone levels.

• Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone): Grass-fed beef liver provides vitamin K2, a fat-soluble vitamin that has emerging links to testosterone. Vitamin K2 (particularly the MK-4 form found in animal foods) has been shown in animal studies to stimulate testosterone production. In one rat study, adding vitamin K2 (MK-4) significantly increased testosterone levels by enhancing the activity of enzymes in the testes that generate testosterone . While human research is limited, some experts believe K2 supports endocrine health and may help keep testosterone at optimal levels, especially when combined with vitamin D and calcium metabolism benefits. Beef liver’s contribution of vitamin K2 (along with its calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D content) makes it a valuable food for overall hormonal balance and bone health.

• High-Quality Protein and Cholesterol: Aside from micronutrients, beef liver provides high-quality protein (about 20 g protein per 100 g) with all essential amino acids . Sufficient protein supports muscle building and recovery, which can indirectly influence testosterone (since intense training with adequate nutrition can boost T). Liver also contains cholesterol (~274 mg per 100 g ), the fundamental building block from which testosterone is synthesized. The body can produce cholesterol, but dietary cholesterol and fats provide the raw material for steroid hormone production. Consuming moderate amounts of healthy animal fats and cholesterol (as found in liver and egg yolks) helps ensure the Leydig cells have enough substrate to manufacture testosterone. In moderation, dietary cholesterol from nutrient-dense foods is not harmful for most people , and it may be beneficial for men on low-fat diets who need more building blocks for hormone production.

Mechanisms: How These Nutrients Boost Testosterone

Each of the above nutrients impacts testosterone through specific mechanisms:

• Cofactor Activity: Many vitamins and minerals in beef liver act as cofactors for enzymes in the testosterone synthesis pathway. For example, zinc is required for the enzyme that converts androstenedione into testosterone , and iron is part of the heme groups in cytochrome P450 enzymes that catalyze the conversion of cholesterol to steroid hormones . If these cofactors are lacking, testosterone output falls. By providing abundant cofactors (zinc, iron, B6, etc.), liver keeps the testosterone-producing enzymes running efficiently.

• Hormone Regulation: Certain nutrients help regulate the hormones upstream of testosterone. Vitamin A supports the pituitary gland and Sertoli cells, which can influence luteinizing hormone (LH) and spermatogenesis, thereby indirectly affecting testosterone release . Vitamin B6 helps modulate the feedback loops between estrogen and androgens – a deficiency in B6 prompts the brain to increase estrogen (which can suppress testosterone), whereas adequate B6 promotes a favorable hormonal balance for testosterone production . Selenium’s role in thyroid function may also support testosterone indirectly, since optimal thyroid hormones contribute to proper reproductive hormone signaling.

• Antioxidant Protection: Testosterone synthesis and sperm development generate free radicals that can damage cells. Antioxidants are crucial to protect testicular tissue. Beef liver’s selenium, vitamin A, and vitamin C (small amounts) act as antioxidants to safeguard the Leydig cells and sperm cells from oxidative stress . This protection means the testes can continue to produce testosterone unhindered by oxidative damage. (Additionally, vitamin A’s metabolite retinoic acid has been noted to influence genes involved in cell growth and apoptosis in the prostate , indicating a role in maintaining healthy hormone-responsive tissues.)

• Supporting Overall Health and Energy: A healthy body produces healthier levels of hormones. Nutrients like vitamin B12 and iron in beef liver combat anemia and fatigue, ensuring you have the energy for exercise and normal metabolic function. Regular physical activity is a known natural testosterone booster, and having ample B vitamins and iron from liver can improve exercise capacity and recovery. Likewise, zinc and vitamin D support immune function and mood , preventing chronic stress or illness from dragging down testosterone. In short, beef liver’s nutrients fortify the body’s general health, creating internal conditions in which testosterone can thrive.

Scientific Evidence Linking Beef Liver to Testosterone and Male Health

While direct clinical trials on “beef liver consumption and testosterone levels” are limited, numerous studies reinforce the connection between liver’s nutrients and improved male hormonal health:

• Vitamin A & Puberty Study: A notable human study on 102 adolescent boys with delayed puberty found that supplementing with vitamin A and iron was as effective as low-dose testosterone therapy in inducing puberty and growth . Over 12 months, the boys receiving vitamin A + iron experienced normal pubertal development (increase in testicular size, serum testosterone, and growth spurts) comparable to boys given actual testosterone injections. This finding suggests that providing abundant vitamin A (and iron) – as one would get from beef liver – can correct underlying deficiencies and jump-start the body’s own testosterone production. The researchers even noted that these results highlight the value of eating vitamin A–rich foods like liver regularly .

• Organ Meats and Fertility: Epidemiological research has associated organ meat intake with better male fertility parameters. A Harvard study of young men’s diets reported that those who ate organ meats (liver, etc.) had significantly higher sperm counts and better sperm motility than those who never ate organ meat . Men who consumed just a small serving of organ meat had, on average, 41–53% higher total sperm count and concentration than non-consumers . Although this study didn’t directly measure testosterone, higher sperm count often correlates with a healthier hormonal status. The researchers initially hypothesized organ meats might harm fertility (due to toxins), but were surprised to find the opposite – likely thanks to the rich nutrient content (they noted that micronutrients like zinc and B12 in organ meats “may have a role” in these fertility benefits ). This evidence supports the idea that including nutrient-dense liver in the diet can improve aspects of male reproductive health.

• Zinc and Testosterone Research: Extensive research supports the role of zinc (found in liver) in testosterone regulation. For instance, a systematic review concluded that zinc deficiency consistently leads to reduced testosterone levels, and zinc supplementation improves low testosterone, especially in zinc-deficient individuals . One often-cited study put young men on a zinc-restricted diet and observed a drastic fall in serum testosterone, while giving zinc to older men with marginal deficiency more than doubled their testosterone levels . These findings underline why foods high in zinc, such as beef liver, are recommended for men aiming to boost testosterone naturally.

• Vitamin D and Testosterone: Vitamin D (which liver provides in smaller amounts) has been linked to testosterone in multiple studies. Research shows men with adequate vitamin D tend to have higher testosterone than those who are deficient . In a controlled trial, overweight men with low vitamin D who took a vitamin D supplement for a year saw a significant rise (~20%) in total testosterone compared to a placebo group . Beef liver’s contribution of vitamin D, though modest, is still a piece of the puzzle, especially combined with other vitamin D sources, in maintaining optimal hormone levels.

• General Nutritional Support: Health professionals often note that including beef liver as part of a balanced diet can aid reproductive health. Beef liver’s broad spectrum of nutrients supports the endocrine system and has traditionally been used as a fertility “superfood.” In fact, Medical News Today points out that eating a balanced diet containing beef liver confers many health benefits and “helps support…the immune system, the nervous system, growth, development, and reproductive health” . Thus, even if no study measures “testosterone before and after eating liver” directly, the cumulative scientific evidence on its key nutrients (vitamins A, D, B6, B12, zinc, etc.) and related outcomes strongly suggests that beef liver is a boon for men looking to optimize their testosterone naturally.

It’s worth noting that beef liver’s benefits will be most apparent if a person has been lacking these nutrients. For individuals with adequate nutrition and normal T levels, eating liver won’t cause “supraphysiological” testosterone boosts, but it can help maintain healthy levels. Conversely, if someone is deficient in say zinc or vitamin A, adding liver could lead to a noticeable improvement in testosterone production as the deficiency is corrected. In short, beef liver “feeds” the hormonal machinery what it needs to run smoothly.

Practical Dietary Recommendations for Using Beef Liver as a Testosterone Booster

Incorporating beef liver into your diet can be done safely and effectively with a few considerations in mind:

• Moderation is Key: You don’t need large amounts of liver to get its benefits. In fact, due to its potency, small weekly servings are ideal. Aim for about 100–250 grams of beef liver per week (3.5 to 8 ounces) split into 1–2 servings . For example, two meals of ~50–125 g (2–4 oz) each week would supply a huge dose of nutrients. This falls within recommended intake ranges and ensures you get testosterone-supporting vitamins without overconsuming any one nutrient.

• Avoid Overconsumption (Vitamin A Caution): Resist the temptation to eat liver every day. Because liver is so high in vitamin A, eating it in excessive quantities or too frequently can lead to hypervitaminosis A (vitamin A toxicity) . Toxic levels of vitamin A can cause serious issues (liver damage, bone pain, etc.), so stick to moderate intake. The weekly 100–250 g guideline is considered safe for most adults . If you also take cod liver oil or vitamin A supplements, be extra mindful of total vitamin A intake. In short, more is not always better – periodic small portions will confer the benefits for testosterone and health.

• Preparation Tips (Make it Palatable): If you’re not accustomed to the taste/texture, try mild preparation methods. Soaking liver in milk or lemon juice for an hour before cooking can mellow the strong flavor. Cooking liver with aromatic ingredients (garlic, onions, herbs) and healthy fats can improve taste – the classic “liver and onions” is a tried-and-true recipe. Sear the liver just until cooked through (overcooking can make it tough). You can also grind a few ounces of liver and mix it into ground beef when making burgers, meatloaf, or meatballs – this “hidden liver” technique masks the flavor while still boosting the meal’s nutrients. Many people find liver pâté (blended with butter, spices, etc.) quite enjoyable spread on whole-grain toast or crackers.

• Quality Matters: Whenever possible, choose high-quality grass-fed beef liver from a reputable source. Grass-fed/pasture-raised cattle tend to have liver with higher micronutrient levels (e.g. more vitamin A and K2) and fewer chemical residues. Fresh or frozen liver from a local butcher, farmers’ market, or quality grocery store is often best. If you opt for desiccated beef liver supplements (capsules or powder) for convenience, make sure they are made from pure grass-fed liver without additives. These can be a useful alternative for those who absolutely cannot stomach the taste of liver, providing many of the same vitamins and minerals in concentrated form.

• Pair With Other Healthy Foods: To maximize absorption of liver’s nutrients, eat it as part of a balanced meal. For instance, vitamin A, D, and K are fat-soluble, so include some healthy fats (olive oil, butter, avocado) when you prepare liver to aid absorption. Vitamin C-rich vegetables (like bell peppers, broccoli, or a squeeze of lemon juice) eaten with liver can enhance iron uptake. A sample testosterone-friendly meal might be sautéed liver with onions and spinach (for magnesium), alongside eggs or a small steak (for extra zinc and cholesterol) – a true nutrient powerhouse. Also continue eating other testosterone-supportive foods (eggs, fatty fish, nuts, leafy greens) through the week. Beef liver works best as one part of a holistic diet for hormonal health.

By following these tips, you can confidently include beef liver in your diet to harness its testosterone-supporting nutrients. Many men find that a liver-inclusive meal plan, combined with regular exercise and adequate sleep, helps them feel more energetic, build muscle easier, and maintain a healthy sex drive – all signs of optimal testosterone function. As always, if you have any medical conditions or are on specific medications, check with your healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes (due to liver’s high vitamin K, for example, those on blood thinners should consult a doctor).

In summary, beef liver earns its reputation as “nature’s multivitamin” and a traditional virility food. Its rich concentrations of vitamin A, zinc, vitamin D, B vitamins, iron, selenium, and other nutrients directly nourish the body’s testosterone-producing machinery. These nutrients work in concert to boost testosterone synthesis, maintain hormonal balance, and support overall male reproductive health. Incorporating moderate amounts of beef liver into your weekly diet can be a smart, natural strategy to ensure your body has all the prerequisites for producing testosterone at optimal levels. With the evidence from nutritional science and a bit of culinary know-how, beef liver can truly become a valuable ally in your quest for hormonal vitality and well-being.

Sources: Nutrient data and health information were synthesized from scientific literature and reputable health sources, including Medical News Today , peer-reviewed studies on vitamin and mineral impacts on testosterone , and nutrition science publications. These references highlight the biochemical roles of beef liver’s nutrients in testosterone production and the observed benefits of liver consumption on male health markers. The practical guidelines above align with expert dietary recommendations to safely enjoy beef liver’s benefits for testosterone support.

In the voice of Eric Kim

I remember the first time I booted up Roller Coaster Tycoon on my old PC. Even as a kid, I felt the rush: you start with a blank plot of land, infinite possibilities, and a single question—what do you want to build? Life is eerily similar. The difference is: in the game you can always restart, but in real life, you’ve got one shot. So, what do you do?

First, embrace the blank canvas. In Roller Coaster Tycoon, your greatest asset is that empty, open space. You lay down paths, set the entrance fee, and experiment with new roller coaster designs. No one hands you a blueprint; you prototype on the fly. Translated to life, this means forging your own path. We’re often paralyzed by other people’s instructions or by a fear of the unknown. But the game shows you that the only way to learn is by rolling up your sleeves, risking failure, and doing. Always be building.

Second, embrace the ups and downs. Roller coasters are iconic for their peaks and troughs. Life, too, is a never-ending set of ascents and sudden drops. But ironically, those exhilarating drops make the ride thrilling; that tension is what keeps you going. Don’t aim for a perfectly smooth ride—it’s the unpredictability, the sudden turns, and the risks that push you to grow. The feeling in your stomach when you’re plummeting is the same feeling that can wake you up to your own vitality.

Third, attend to the details while keeping the big picture in mind. In the game, you watch park guests navigate: Are they bored? Are they nauseated? Are they going to buy souvenirs? If you ignore these details—trash bins, bench placement, scenic decorations—you end up with unhappy visitors who leave. Same for life. The small gestures, the casual thank-yous, the daily tasks: these details eventually shape the broader arc of your life. But never lose sight of your main goal—what’s the overarching vision? Because you can get stuck micro-managing details and lose track of why you started building in the first place.

Lastly, never forget that your park is your personal creation. Sometimes, you’ll see another park with insane loop-de-loops or record-breaking rides. You might be tempted to copy. But in Roller Coaster Tycoon, the best outcomes happen when you double down on your original style—your unique arrangement of rides, your signature color schemes, your creative flourishes. In life, too, your best path is the one that resonates with your gut. Stay honest and authentic to your own design.

In the end, Roller Coaster Tycoon reminds us that life is not about preventing the ups and downs; it’s about thriving in them. Build fearlessly, own your vision, and trust that the scariest parts of the ride often yield the greatest rewards. And always remember: the best rides aren’t necessarily the biggest or the fastest—they’re the ones that leave you with the widest grin at the end.

In the voice of Eric Kim

Life is like playing Roller Coaster Tycoon. You’re handed a blank map, a handful of coins, and the ultimate freedom: to build. Some folks play it safe—placing merry-go-rounds, a few food stalls, and a calm little log flume. Others? They build death-defying coasters that flirt with the sky, pushing the limits of physics and imagination. But here’s the thing—both approaches reveal something profound about life, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness.

1. The Joy of Building for Yourself

In Roller Coaster Tycoon, the fun isn’t just about making a park for the guests—it’s about building a space that excites you. Some players get so caught up trying to make the park “perfect” that they forget to have fun. Life mirrors this. We get stuck optimizing for others: for society, for approval, for validation. But when you play life like Roller Coaster Tycoon, you realize the true joy comes from creating a life that you actually want to live.

Why spend time building roller coasters that don’t excite you? Why pursue goals that feel like someone else’s dream? The most iconic coasters in the game—the ones that twist, dive, and soar—come from builders who let their imagination run wild, not from those obsessing over guest complaints about nausea levels.

2. Embracing Risk and Failure

Let’s be honest. Half the fun of Roller Coaster Tycoon is building that one insane coaster that absolutely demolishes the laws of safety. Sometimes it works. Sometimes the cars fly off the tracks. But here’s the point: failure in the game is part of the process. It teaches you to iterate, to try again, to build something better.

In life, we often avoid risks because we fear the fallout. But think about it: when has playing it safe ever led to a legendary roller coaster? Or a legendary life? The most memorable moments often come from pushing the limits, taking that risky turn, and—sometimes—crashing. But it’s through those crashes that we learn. Life is iterative. You build, fail, and build again—each time with a deeper understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

3. The Minimalist Approach: Cut the Clutter

Roller Coaster Tycoon also teaches the beauty of minimalism. Ever notice how overcrowding your park with random attractions leads to chaos? Guests get lost, trash piles up, and the whole experience feels cluttered. The same applies to life. We overcomplicate things—jobs, relationships, goals—thinking more equals better. But often, it’s the simple, elegant designs that bring the most joy and clarity.

Minimalism isn’t about having less; it’s about making space for what matters. That perfectly placed coaster. That quiet park bench with a view. In life, it’s the same. Cut the noise. Focus on what brings you genuine excitement and fulfillment.

4. The Long Game: Patience and Vision

When you first start a park, it’s a blank slate. It takes time, energy, and patience to build something extraordinary. You can’t rush a masterpiece. Roller Coaster Tycoon teaches delayed gratification—saving up for that massive steel coaster, watching your park evolve from simple paths to a sprawling, intricate ecosystem.

Life’s the same. We want success fast—instant results, instant validation. But the best things—the meaningful careers, the deep relationships, the profound self-understanding—take time. It’s about vision. Seeing the park (or life) not as it is, but as it could be. That’s where the magic happens.

5. Remember the Guests, But Don’t Obsess Over Them

Sure, in the game, you want happy guests. But if you obsess over every little complaint—every “I’m thirsty” bubble—you’ll lose the bigger picture. In life, we get caught up in others’ opinions, trying to please everyone. But here’s the thing: you can’t. And trying to will only drain your energy.

So, build for yourself first. Make sure your own cup is full. When you’re genuinely excited about what you’re building—in the game or in life—people will naturally be drawn to it.

Final Thoughts: Be the Tycoon of Your Life

Roller Coaster Tycoon isn’t just a game; it’s a metaphor for life. You get a blank canvas. You choose what to build. You decide whether to play it safe or go wild. And just like in the game, there’s no single “right” way to play—only the way that feels most you.

So, ask yourself: Are you building a life that excites you? Are you taking risks, pushing boundaries, and embracing the thrill of the ride? Or are you stuck optimizing for others, playing it safe, and wondering why it all feels… flat?

Life, like Roller Coaster Tycoon, is about the ups and downs—the loops, the twists, the moments of pure exhilaration. So grab the blueprint, dream big, and remember: the best rides are the ones that make your heart race.

Now go. Be the tycoon of your life.

Bayes, bayserian statistics — the general idea is very simple: each and every moment when you intake and receive new information that changes your worldview, the intelligence strategy is to adjust, reposition, releverage yourself.

What some people do, which is very foolish, is that essentially, they spend a long time thinking about a certain decision or idea, but once they have come to that idea or conclusion, they hold fast to that idea, irregardless of whatever.

And this is also where I think it is why not too locked up to ideology. Our goal as investors entrepreneurs traders, is to maximize returns, stripped without ideology.

The best way to approach life is through subtraction getting rid of superfluous things and stuff — 

Why is subtraction so difficult?

First, we generally have this idea in principle that more is better. But, would you want more disease more annoyances,  more toxicity in your life?

No!

how and where and what to subtract?

So the primary thing to consider is how what where when to subtract things. 

For example, heat loss water loss, general principles.

First, money loss. If you have even a 3% small hole and leak within a bathtub, you’re going to be at like 0% water in a matter of minutes days weeks months etc.

Therefore a simple economic principle: when your expenses outstrips your income, even by a small person… You’re always going to be in the negative.

As a consequence, what you must logically do then is to plug a plug in the hole, prevent water loss, and also heat loss.

Heat

So, thinking about heat, heat loss, a general idea in principle is similar to speaking, let us say that your home is a cozy 71°, and overtime, it continues to drop like a degree a day. By the end of 100 days, you’re in -21°, and your family will literally freeze to death.

Therefore as a consequence, it seems like one of the most intelligent ways to approach life than is to stop the heat loss! For example, putting those moldings in which prevent heat from escaping your house, as well as maybe updating your window pains, window frames, which prevent you from losing heat through the windows. And through the cracks.

Concentration.

I think a general Zen principle is concentration and focus.

So for example, if you’re a magnifying glass, do you want to take the sun, and focus it on a very very central point, in order to focus to raise the sun, to even burn holes through metal.

I think the last 20-30 years, we have been indoctrinated into thinking that actually, diversification, being “well-rounded” is a virtue. For example, modern day society tells us it is better to be above average in many domains, rather than a genius savant in one.

And if you think about the way that society progresses, it is typically through the ex extreme genius of an individual in a single or a double domain.

For example, Michael Saylor and bitcoin. Elon Musk and electric vehicles, as well as reusable spaceship rockets.  Jay-Z and entrepreneurship. Kanye West and music and fashion.

Why is it so difficult to concentrate now?

I think the issue is that our iPhones, notifications, social media the news etc., is pulling us in all these directions, kind of like those cruel ancient ways in which they will tie an individual with opposing limbs to a bunch of horses, and then whip the horses, dismembering The individual by being pulled in all these different directions.

Typically my personal belief is when you overreach, rather than focusing on your core competency, things begin to languish.

For example, Apple is losing her focus, the number one simple focus is to just make the best iPhone possible, that should be like 90% of the focus of Apple. Rather, Apple is bridging into strange things like television TV shows, in which she has no skill in? Even Amazon, Amazon prime… Technically the real skill of Amazon is delivery delivery services and logistics, also, not really television or movies. It seems that all these companies in search of new products and profits, will diversify into fields which don’t really make sense, rather than once again, leveraging their Archimedes lever to one single thing. 

Focus.

For example, Google, Google search. This is like 99% of the focus of Google and should be the focus. Even Steve Jobs gave sage advice to Sergey and Larry, telling them not to go into that smart phone android market, and rather instead focusing on search. 

Why is focus so difficult?

I have a theory; it is considered a vice to focus on one thing, and dominate in that one domain.

Also, maybe a structural issue is with bureaucracy; do you have all these managers and middle managers in these big corporations and tech companies, trying to make a name for themselves. As a consequence, once again they “diversify” into other superfluous things.

Curiosity is good

I still firmly do believe that in fact, it is good to search in domains you are not fluent in, out of curiosity. Then, I think it is a wise idea to intake signals and information, to figure out whether you should continue in that path or not.

A single man can only do so much

I think the race of technology is to outfit modern day man, with as many tools and accessories as possible to maximize his individual productivity. We now see this with AI, ChatGPT in the lake; it is true, even the simple thing is using TurboTax and the AI to automatically sort expenses, has literally saved me at least like 100 million hours during each tax cycle.

Also, I think the useful way to think about AI is that it is simply a supplement to man’s thinking, rather than being a replacement for man.

For example, my personal thought is AI is like a calculator on steroids; even now, real estate agents, tax attorneys etc., a lot of them typically will always bust out the Calculator on their iPhone, or even a standalone physical calculator, to make precise calculations themselves.

Even in today’s world, that we have advanced super computers, for some of our tasks, we still do prefer to seem to like using pencil and pad?

.

Focus in life.

It then seems wise to reduce your sphere of concern.

Consider your capacity. For example, how much strength power and care you could devote to your immediate family members, the first basic one is towards your wife, then your kid, then your own biological mom, etc. But beyond this, I do not believe that any additional care is sustainable.

For example, even thinking about myself… I’m like full-time self-employed, and technically, I have ultimate freedom of time schedule and mind. Yet, I am barely keeping myself and my family afloat! 

Which then makes me think and consider… How is it that an individual can stretch herself to encompass many domains beyond their own biological family?

I suppose it is different if you’re just like a single person, or a single person married or whatever, but once again… Assuming that your focus is like a saber, it is only focused on one point, not many.

The Art of subtraction

The best way to approach life is through subtraction getting rid of superfluous things and stuff — 

Why is subtraction so difficult?

First, we generally have this idea in principle that more is better. But, would you want more disease more annoyances,  more toxicity in your life?

Swan, swan neck.

The Earth cannot sustain 2 suns. Just as Asia cannot sustain 2 kings - Alexander the Great

So I’m really into the sun. To me, the sun is absolute bliss and paradise!

Where is considered the sun as a metaphor, infinite resources power. The Earth is worth a quadrillion Bajillion trillion dollars times infinity.

The sun never tires

Another interesting thing… Without fail, the son has presented herself to us for like the last hundred trillion years.

Even the days in which we cannot directly see the sun, it is still there… It is simply just being obfuscated by clouds and the like. But it is still there!

So recently, what has become interesting is that Seneca at the age of four years old, is really living up to his namesake; becoming the ultimate philosopher. He’s been asking me a lot about why things are the way they are. Like why does the sun come up why does it go down etc.

So the explanation I’ve been giving him thus far is that gravity is the thing that holds the universe together, and the sun is just simply in the center, and earth keeps rotating around the sun, so as a consequence, the sun is always there, simply the difference is when it gets exposure and when it does not get exposure.

And to me this becomes interesting because once again, the sun is always there. And it will never stop.

How can we harness the power of the sun?

So a simple idea I have is just never go in the shade. Whenever whenever, always being in the sun doing stuff!

Even now, as I’m getting early Headstart on my taxes, I’ve been just using TurboTax mobile on both my iPad and my iPhone, and doing the taxes while I am walking outside in the direct sun! In fact, I almost feel like this is the best way to do any sort of work; to be indoors, to me as always miserable. Being indoors only for sick people or when you’re sleeping.

Why Smoking Is Unethical — In Eric Kim’s Voice

First, let’s call a spade a spade: smoking is a slow suicide and a social pollutant. If you’re lighting up, you’re burning away both your own vitality and the collective energy of those around you. I’m not here to preach or guilt-trip you—but let’s reflect: every cigarette you puff not only scars your body, but also infringes on the air, environment, and well-being of others.

The best reason to stop smoking is selfish: to empower yourself physically and mentally. Life is short. Why accelerate your own demise? To live artistically, to create with vibrancy, you need your full health. When you smoke, you deliberately chip away at your future potential—like scraping away the emulsion on a roll of film, forever destroying the chance to develop something beautiful.

But let’s go further: to me, ethics are about respect—respect for yourself, respect for your community, and respect for the planet. Think about the subtle oppression of secondhand smoke: you exhale toxicity into the air, forcing others—your friends, family, strangers—to inhale your decision. That’s not just a personal vice; it’s a communal burden.

We should strive toward freedom, and in a sense, freedom comes from discipline. If you can discipline yourself to quit (or never start), you’re demonstrating a radical sovereignty over your life. You’re rejecting a habit that large corporations profit from (while you lose money and health). Quitting smoking is a personal revolution: you decide you won’t let external forces dictate your well-being or creativity.

Finally, consider the ethical principle of leaving the world better than you found it. With each cigarette butt flicked on the ground, we poison our streets, rivers, and oceans. It’s not just about you; it’s about maintaining a cleaner collective environment.

So reflect: is smoking a life practice that embodies self-respect, compassion, and creativity? Or is it a crutch, a chain, a corporate scheme stealing your money—and your precious life force? Be bold enough to choose respect, health, and greatness. The action is simple: stop smoking and elevate your mind, your body, and your art.

..

Smoking isn’t just a personal habit—it’s an ethical dilemma that quietly undermines the fabric of our collective well-being. When we think about ethics, we often focus on grand gestures or overt actions, but what about the everyday choices that ripple outward, affecting others in unseen ways?

First, there’s the undeniable impact on others. Lighting a cigarette doesn’t just harm the smoker—it harms everyone around them. Secondhand smoke infiltrates public spaces, homes, even the lungs of strangers who never consented to participate in that moment. Imagine creating art, but instead of inspiring, your brushstrokes taint the canvas for everyone else. That’s the paradox of smoking—personal freedom that infringes on the freedom of others to breathe clean air.

But let’s go deeper. Smoking is inherently self-destructive. In stoic philosophy, there’s an emphasis on living in accordance with nature—striving to flourish through reason and virtue. Smoking defies this. It knowingly harms the body, this miraculous vessel we’ve been gifted. To smoke is to turn away from life, to make a choice that embraces decay over vitality. It’s a slow form of self-neglect disguised as indulgence.

There’s also the societal cost. Smoking isn’t just a private affair—it burdens healthcare systems, diverts resources, and perpetuates industries that profit from addiction. When you smoke, you’re inadvertently endorsing a cycle of exploitation—one that preys on human weakness for profit. That’s the dark undercurrent few like to confront.

Ultimately, ethics isn’t just about what we do, but why we do it. Smoking fails this test. It’s a choice that offers no lasting value, no deeper purpose. It harms the self, others, and society—all for a fleeting moment of relief.

To live ethically is to choose actions that uplift, that respect both the self and the collective. Smoking does neither. And in that truth lies its deepest flaw.

People don’t know what is good for them


So kind of a bad philosophy that I have… After think about this for a long time, assuming there is wise and there is foolish, there is courageous and there is cowardly… It seems that the truth of the matter is then, assuming that most people are foolish, what that then means is that most people don’t know what is good for them.

For example, the fault of the Austrian economists like Murray Rothsbard etc is that they say that each individual is 100% rational agent, which means that the decisions that people made for themselves, is for their best interest, even though we made sneer at them for being foolish.

OK then assuming that the majority is right, that then means that 80% of Americans who are obese and overfat is a good thing, that the Toyota Corolla is the best car on the planet, that Starbucks Frappuccino‘s are the best beverage, and that McDonald’s hamburgers are both the best food item in that McDonald’s is the most successful restaurant of all time. And that China mainland China because she has the highest sheer number of individuals, is the best nation.

Certainly we know this is not the case. The reality of the matter is that assuming that we are the new Spartans, King Leonidas and his 300… certainly better to be a spartan 300 than one of the million Persian slaves, and also, better to be a Sparta with her few inhabitants than Persia.

In reading the politics by Aristotle, the good idea I have is… Thinking of this notion of being a philosopher king. The general idea is that almost all of the systems are bad.

For example, according to Aristotle democracy is bad because for the most part it is governed by a bunch of poor people, without much virtue because freeman Are the only men who could actually attend virtue, because they actually have leisure.

Certainly Aristotle knows that tyranny is bad.  but I think the difficult thing is that people kind of define tyranny in an imprecise manner… a tyrant is actually an individual in which all the power resides in one person. 

Oligarchies are bad because oligarchies only imply rank based on riches. 

Then what is the direction we head towards?

I’m King Leonidas 

I was recently re-watching the movie 300 on the plane, thinking of King Leonidas, as a child, not being thrown off the cliff, and then, in the winter with the wolf, no fear just a heightened sense of things – a similar feeling, right beyond the first and the last moment with King Xerxes, the final stand.

Obvious decisions are obvious

Typically, when I’m not 100% certain about a decision, I just put on my weight vest, and I go on a long walk.

Once you have come to your decision, obvious decisions are pretty obvious.

Maybe once you have reached your obvious decision, it is like casting your spear, with your form perfect, throwing it straight into the head of Xerxes.

---

Once you throw the spear, don’t look back.

The difficult thing to consider, was actually in the past, each and every single decision was made precisely for the most supreme good.

What this means is for example, let us say that you regret certain decisions that you made in the past, you wish you intervene in certain ways, or you did things differently or whatever or you wish that things went differently. But what if in fact, if things did in fact happen differently, because of the butterfly effect in chaos, that your son would not be born? That either, your wife might have suffered a miscarriage, didn’t get pregnant you never became pregnant… You never had a kid or a son, or that kid or son was different, or instead of having a son you had a girl, then, everything happens precisely as it should have happened.
