  • IS COLLEGE ‘WORTH IT’?

    The question:

    Is college (university) ‘worth it’?

    Simple thoughts:

    1. First of all, NEVER go into debt for college/university. If you don’t have a free ride, or a 100% scholarship, it is not worth it.
  • GREATER DISTANCES?

    Cleave greater distances between yourself and base folks?

    Same with your kid — cleave LARGER and GREATER distances between them and other ‘basic’ kids/babies.

  • KIDS AND TECHNOLOGY

  • APPROACH THE WORLD LIKE A CHILD.

    Approach the world from a child’s mind, a child’s approach.

  • Dissatisfaction vs Desiring More?

  • Not a life of leisure, but a life of productive scholarship, knowledge production and philosophy

    Also innovation, art, entrepreneurship.

  • WHAT WOULD A REAL MAN DO?

    And NOT do?

  • ONE SESSION, ONE LIFT.

    My theory on weightlifting; just go to the gym every single day, and every day you go, just focus on one lift, and then leave. To spend too much time at the gym is not a productive use of time.

  • What is the point of lifting weights?

    SELF COMBAT. Also, combat with gravity.

  • ONE HOUR.

    If you only had one hour of free time a day, what would you do with that hour?

  • CREATE YOUR OWN CHALLENGES

  • IT’S NOT MY FAULT THAT YOU’RE MISERABLE UNHAPPY

  • PERHAPS VIRTUE IS OVERRATED?

    PERHAPS VIRTUE IS OVERRATED?

    For example, we believe it to be virtuous to stay consistent to your own code of ethics. Perhaps this is overrated?

  • Devaluing the currency?

    Losing faith in the US dollar — or not really caring for it anymore?

  • GREAT INNOVATION AND FAILURE

    GREAT INNOVATION AND FAILURE

    Great failures unto great successes:

  • The best way to raise your kid is to spend maximal time with them outdoors

    This doesn’t just mean the park or natural places, but also outdoor malls, or just taking them on adventures and errands.

    Minimum time indoors or at home.

  • I get tired at home or indoors?

  • Anti Others

    I don’t have time or care to judge others, analyze their motives and behaviors, etc.

  • MAXIMUM FRICTION REDUCTION IN LIFE.

  • White is boring.

  • I SEEK A LIFE OF WAR AND CONQUEST, NOT A LIFE OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY.

  • Why lift weights? To build your confidence!

    Not for your physique. The physique will come naturally, as you build your strength.

  • Don’t have any business partners

    If you have a business partner, sooner or later you’ll get screwed somewhere, or, resentment from how slow and ineffective they are.

    Go solo.

    Sole proprietor is the way.

  • INDEFINITE CONFIDENCE BUILDING

    I seek to become the most confident, self-confident person in the world, and then once I’ve reached that point, to keep augmenting it indefinitely?

    Weight lifting at the gym, and hypelifting as essential and critical.

    One cannot build self-confidence without physical strength.

  • I DON’T WANT RESPECT

    Maybe instead to be feared?

  • Art Objects

    Things like cars are art objects. When you look at them, we look at them as pieces of art.

    However, the only true joy of the artist is to create, fashion, and create or modify the thing itself, instead of just purchasing an already beautiful object.

    Also, I consider my own body as an art object. And the only joy I have is because I could see my progress and growth over time, and the deep pride that I get that I crafted my own body myself, naturally.

  • Productive Competition

    Competition is often bad, but you can also be very productive being around others, and social displays of strength and power and motivate you to become even stronger!

  • Calories are Pseudo Science

  • How to create your own paradise

    Lots of natural light, time in the direct sun, working out, going to the gym, being creative etc.

  • Why membership is a good idea

    It keeps the riffraff out, and also keeps the facilities and bathrooms cleaner.

  • I hate plastic, I hate covers, I hate vinyl. I hate wraps.

    To cover something up with plastic or veneer is bad.

  • Parenting Thoughts: On Being a Father

    Pater — father. Life’s ultimate joy, especially if you have a son!

    The heir to the throne?

    It seems that all men desire to have at least one son. Whenever you see a family of two girls, three girls, or even four girls, you could definitely see that the family tried to have a son, but didn’t and stopped.

    Your son is a mini you

    If you are a man, a father, and you have a son, let us realize and recognize that your son is just a mini you. Don’t you desire your son to become so insanely epic, 1 billion times better than you?

    To compare your kid to any other kid is mediocritizing

    Why is competition and comparison so bad? It mediocritizes. It is a form of standardization, standardization is bad. Do you want to make your kids standard, or a new level?

    Having kids is insanely underrated

    Modern day society, and new millennial norms are degenerate. I find it frightening with modern day millennial norms to think that nowadays everyone just wants a dog, a cat, and no kids. To just travel the world, go to Japan, and eat good food.

    I am pro kids, anti-pets. Anti-dogs, anti-cats.

  • Is pain virtuous?

    No. To be in pain, and to suffer, and to somehow inflict more pain, hardship and misery upon yourself is foolish at best.

  • PHILOSOPHY IS MY ARCHIMEDES LEVER

    Even before I got into photography, when I was in high school, I was always curious about deeper things in life, like the meaning of life, how to thrive in life, etc.

    Also, how to empower and motivate oneself, how to inspire oneself, how to live the best life, etc.

  • What does it mean to want “respect“ from others?

    Respect — respicio. To back, again, look at.

    Specio — observe.

    *Spek— to look at. To see, to observe, to look.

    Theory 1 on respect; we want to be looked at, observed, acknowledged?

    Then, when we want respect or to be “respected“ from others, we just want everyone to acknowledge us? But what if we don’t want to acknowledge them?

    Theory 2 on respect; it is predicated on notions of mutual reciprocity. But what if you don’t want their reciprocity, or you see them as under you?

  • MY PARADISE

    My paradise; good sleep, good coffee in the morning, going outside, basking in the beautiful warm sun.

    Reviewing my photos on my iPad Pro, selecting and flagging my favorite ones, deriving deep delight from the photos I’ve made.

    Also, going to the gym, attempting and hyping myself up for new one rep max attempts.

    Also, time with Seneca and Cindy, great meat feasts, deep annd early sleep.

    Also, time to think, philosophize, create.

  • Don’t Stay at the Base

    Don’t be basic.

    No basic thinking, no basic living, no basic concerns.

    Don’t stay at home, don’t stay inside the house, don’t stay at the base.

  • 690 POUND RACK PULL PERSONAL RECORD ERIC KIM HYPELIFTING ZEN ZONE SUPER SAIYAN

  • HOW TO GET INSANELY EPIC LEGS

    HOW TO GET INSANELY EPIC LEGS

    Every day is leg day:

    1. Atlas lift

    I also call it the squat hold; essentially, just putting insanely heavy weight on the squat rack, and the only goal is to just lift it up a little bit, hold it for a few seconds, and just put it down. Even lifting it up for half a second is sufficient.

    Currently as I write this, my personal record is 750 pounds; seven 45 pound plates on each side, a 35 pound plate, and a 2 1/2 pound on each side.

    2. Rack pull

    The second essential lift is the rack pull. Essentially load up a very very heavy weight, on the power rack, and it just depends to a size that feels comfortable to your height. Essentially imagine a shortened deadlift, only the very top.

    When you do a rack pull, no belt, no straps, no knee wraps, etc. Just use liquid weightlifting chalk, and for your heavier sets, a mixed grip.

    Also a pro tip is when you are doing the rack pull, push and also pull up much with your legs!

    3. Very heavy dumbbell Farmers walk

    The goal is very simple; only using weightlifting chalk, no hand or wrist wraps, seek to lift up the heaviest dumbbells that your gym offers, and just walk it out a little bit. For my gym that is 150 pound dumbbells.

  • REAL BODYBUILDERS HAVE INSANELY EPIC LEGS!

  • KEEP THEM GUESSING.

    KEEP THEM GUESSING.

    When people ask you what you are or what you do, always give them the funnier, more unexpected answer.

    For example, when people are confused with my short range of motion lifts, like my atlas lift or my rack pull, if people are curious what I am, I will tell them I’m just a bodybuilder.

    Why? Reality and results don’t lie; doing 750 pounds, on the atlas lift has given me insane gains, especially in my midsection, shoulders and back, thighs, legs and calves!

  • The Privilege of Time

  • Saving time is saving life.

    Maximal time walking around, minimal amount of time driving or in a car.
