Wisdom means to be “wise”. And to be wise is to see.

Dear friend,

I hope you’re well. I wanted to use this chance for me to share some of my personal thoughts about COVID-19.

(more…)

To assert your opinion is to be alive:

(more…)

What does it mean to educate? To lead, guide, and drive (‘ducere‘ in Latin).

(more…)

The goal — for you to become you.

(more…)

An example intro to how to use iBooks Author for Mac to make your own e-book PDF:

(more…)

Your mind can move matter. Of course, you must direct your hand and body to take matter, mould it, transform it, transfigure it, and subjugate it to your will!

(more…)

When in doubt, walk more through nature!

(more…)

AREN’T you so glad to be alive? We currently have the privilege to live THOUGH history. Many of us never get the privilege.

(more…)

You don’t gotta do as I do, but let me explain why I am doing what I am doing:

(more…)

Many us are patiently waiting for things to go back to the way things used to be. But should we? I say not.

(more…)

ATTACK REALITY! You’re a fighter, a soldier. You’re dark and deep. Don’t sit back and cower in fear. No — ATTACK HEAD-ON!

(more…)

Why am I so un-feeling towards the suffering of others and myself? Perhaps the consequence of my hard knock life:

(more…)

Aren’t you so happy to be alive?

(more…)

BECOME MORE RELENTLESS, RUTHLESS, AND ATTACK MORE IN LIFE!

(more…)

I once read a shirt from THE ROCK that said something like, “Progress through pain”. I thought it was very deep and wise.

My spin:

Pain is progress.

(more…)

Could you live a meaningful life if you were the last man alive?

(more…)

Cindy just wrote an essay titled: My Experience Living through History: War, Human Agency, and Non-Future. It gave me a deep opportunity to reflect myself:

What does it mean to live through history, and to become PART of history?

(more…)

Better than posting your stuff to social media, send out email newsletters.

(more…)

Practical things:

(more…)

Dear friends,

Times are tough but know that you’re tougher.

Some fun creative activities you can do from home, if you’re stuck indoors!

(more…)

We don’t act virtuous for any reward. We do it for our pride, honor, and what it means to be a great human being.

(more…)

If you’re stuck at home, know you can create art from the convenience and comfort of your own (cozy) home!

(more…)

OUR NEW APPROACH: The ultimate hybrid of both spartan AND stoic.

(more…)

I still have fear like any normal human being. But I think I fear LESS than others. How and why? Some thoughts:

(more…)

Right now is your opportunity to test your strength!

(more…)

Don’t disdain others for what they are.

(more…)

When you’re angry, not sure what to say– silence is golden.

(more…)

My thought on the pandemic right now —

The ultimate downside which is spreading isn’t death and disease, but fear.

(more…)

To become more intelligent, decide what to become ignorant towards.

(more…)

Do we try to predict the future for the hope of gain, or to off-set fear?

(more…)

I love the pain of existence!

(more…)

THE BEST LIFE IS THE MAXIMALLY DANGEROUS LIFE (WITHOUT DYING).

(more…)

YOU GOT THE POWER. You got the power to complain whine and moan, or you got the power to take your steel and make your own throne.

This is your Rome and Romulus ain’t holding you back. Never backtrack; only attack.

POWER is within you, and power is you. So why despise you?

Love you, and believe in you. Adamantine spine, live your life divine.

ERIC

(more…)

IN LIFE YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO OPT TO BE STRONG OR WEAK.

(more…)

MATRIX — one of my favorite philosophical films of all-time.

(more…)

In this life, you’re the hero!

(more…)

Why avoid news? It is like the human centipede of shit and fear. You keep consuming more fear, and you feel more fearful. You become more timid, scared, and paralyzed.

(more…)

IN LIFE, let us strive to maximize ourselves with NO EQUIPMENT.

(more…)

What’s the purpose and end goal of life? To make art.

(more…)

My delight in getting others to react to me.

(more…)

Studying da Vinci:

(more…)

SOCIAL DISTANCING. Very interesting. Why? It is going to change how humans interact with one another for a very long time…

(more…)

IN LIFE, WHEN YOU GOT THE OPTION … OPT FOR THE BITTER. Why? If you train yourself enough, the bitter is actually very sweet!

(more…)

My goal? Hyper vigor.

(more…)

When in doubt, live on!

(more…)

Legality vs ethics — what’s the difference?

Taleb teaches us in Skin in the Game:

In the long game, ethics will always triumph over legality.

Takeaway:

In life, follow your own personal code of morals and ethics.

Also:

In life, instead of asking yourself “Is this legal or illegal?” ask yourself, “Is this ethical in my eyes or unethical?”

Your ethics are king.

What’s the point of photography? Not to make good photos. The goal — never stop making NEW PHOTOS!

(more…)

What motivates you to live more, do more, explore more, and find deeper gratitude towards life?

Photo!

(more…)

CERTAINLY there is good and bad in life. But, perhaps the best way to live is this:

When shit hits the fan, figure out how you can benefit, profit, and EXPLOIT it in a good way for yourself!

For example:

(more…)

WHAT IS MY STREET PHILOSOPHY? LET ME SHARE:

(more…)

Death and pain is nothing to us!

(more…)

Today and right now — the role of the photographer is greater than ever!

(more…)

My heuristic:

If you’re still allowed to walk your dog outdoors, you’re allowed to walk yourself outdoors!

(more…)

EXPOSURE IS GOOD. A life with zero exposure is bad.

(more…)

The best workout? Just go to a park and throw around rocks!

(more…)

Even if there is a .00001% chance that whatever you create and share has a chance of empowering 1 other human being on planet earth, it is worth sharing!

A NEW ATTITUDE AND PHILOSOPHY TO PAIN:

(more…)

Life is cold and cruel. But that is okay!

(more…)

What is your prime duty in life? To be strong!

(more…)

GO LEGEND
you’re a boss
you are embossed with strength and virtue

know that your virtue can fly higher. Stay woke stay dope. Know that your hope is divine and within yourself. Rely on yourself, and your own wealth.

The future is strong and great. Don’t placate — stay straight!

ERIC

Why freestyle?

To freestyle is insanely fun! I do it for fun. There is really no other reason.

Also,

I want to inspire, motivate, and empower others … just using my thoughts and voice.

Good old Horace once said:

It is best to both entertain and instruct.

This is one of my new goals.

ERIC

My theory:

We love nature because it is the ultimate visual stimulus!

Asking for permission is for suckers. Why? Let me share.

(more…)

What will be the industries of the future?

(more…)

Simple idea —

Whatever you like consuming, also create it!

For example, if you like to read, also write! If you like to watch movies, make your own! If you like rap music or music in general, make your own raps and beats! If you like comics, draw your own comics!

(more…)

ERIC KIM — filling to the brim. With the Dionysian wine and gin. Stay stim-packed like a berserker marine. Stay green with the miracle dream. Never ween off the coffee or juice. Stay loose and foot tight with your bright light goals. What is your next step? Only the world knows!

(more…)

If you have never made videos or vlogged before, give it a go! It’s so insanely fun!

(more…)

WHAT’S THE POINT OF MONEY IN A POST-MONETARY SOCIETY? I think we are currently seeing vestiges of this impending future. A future of Capitalism 2.0. Less focus on money. More focus on… something else?

(more…)

WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR? What are you not willing to compromise for, no matter what?

WE’RE CURRENTLY AT WAR. Not against a human enemy — but a biological enemy. Humans versus the virus.

Now is time for us to steel ourselves, and prepare for the harsh and cruel war we are about to experience as humanity.
