NOT THE SAME BREED?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not like them<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some random funny thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breeds of dogs & breeds of humans?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OK\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 let us apply a line of thinking to dogs, different breeds of dogs. For example, certainly a canine or pitbull would be a much better and ferocious fighter than a pug or a hotdog wiener dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the funny thing is I think all breeds of dogs could pro generate with one another, irregardless of breed? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also certainly with human beings, there are some families which are naturally taller, some families which are naturally shorter. And certainly there has been some sort of genetic diversification on the planet and beyond, especially when it comes a different parts of the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, certain places certain humans have more bodily hair, possibly to dissipate the heat. Other places, darker pigments to fight off the sun. It makes sense, if your family genetic heritage is from sub-Saharan Africa, logically the human body will produce more pigment to fight off the sun then if your genetic heritage was from northern Sweden, in which during the winter time you might only get 30 minutes of sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why others are confused by me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to feel more and more\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 maybe other people, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re just a different breed than me. For example, I think of myself kind of like a canine, a K9 attack police dog, and everyone else is just a wiener dog? Or annoying poodles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so then\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 when other people try to punk me around, I have zero tolerance for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, let us say that you were a ferocious fighting dog, and there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a random annoying poodle that starts barking at you! Or tries to bully you around? How would you respond? Obviously you would just want the damn poodle to shut up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about Achilles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In my mind, I see myself like an Achilles. I see myself like the most handsome, powerful, dominant, ultra being out there. And perhaps it is precisely my oversized ego is where I get my power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcI think there are a lot of sissy philosophers and thinkers who somehow think that ego<\/a> is a bad thing. I think this is not the case. Your ego is almost like your balls and your testicles\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 would you castrate yourself because sometimes it makes you too angry– having big balls and a lot of testosterone<\/a> is almost like overpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we think about Dragon Ball Z, Goku going super Saiyan etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Obviously you want the golden flaming flowing hair, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcand the ultra power of going super Saiyan! But let us say that with the ability to go super Saiyan, there were also some downsides like sometimes you cannot tolerate the power? Would you sacrifice it? Of course not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niagara Falls would make a great bitcoin mining rig \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kind of like a raging river, Niagara Falls; would the point be to simply cut it off \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 or wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a more intelligent strategy to be to harness it<\/em> like putting a water electricity damn thing on it, harness the hydropower, not to cut it off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is my critique about modern day times, it seems like a lot of people are trying to do is to castrate the source, rather than channel that energy for positive constructive good things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t castrate yourself!\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For example, the ego should be something augmented, amplified and magnified, but also concurrent channeled in such a way which could be empowering and useful for others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So can we use the ego in a constructive or positive way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, a non-competitive spirit<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 just compliment everybody you see! Even if somebody is taller, more good looking, handsomer, richer, more successful, buffer than you! When you see somebody with a great physique, the correct strategy is to compliment them and acknowledge them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcS\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcecond, to harness and channel your ego and your energy and your physiological power towards writing, producing text, making videos, podcasts etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Sharing ideas, irregardless of how unethical they may seem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anything\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to think more and more, the only interesting ideas are the unethical ones<\/strong>. Or the ones which are shunned by mainstream modern day society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, the only good ideas are the bad ones<\/strong>. When an idea seems right, and it seems to make sense, typically it is bad and or wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow your values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to values<\/a>, there is no right or wrong, there are simply authentic to yourself, or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, my values and beliefs in open source, entrepreneurship, and empowerment through photography are true. Why? I grew up poor, single working mom waiting tables at Japanese sushi restaurant for nearly 20 years, and also almost went homeless twice. A lot of your own personal narrative forms who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a consequence, I think the idea is not too shroud who you are, your own personality etc., but rather to magnify<\/strong> it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Magnify your personality!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For example, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a very inquisitive, curious person, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to chop it up! I like to be friendly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny enough\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I try to be friendly to everybody, but people who are standoffish, or bizarro, they react to me in very bizarre ways. But should I suddenly shut down my friendly personality because other guy is a cowardly poodle? No!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERIC KIM PICTURES\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc ENTERTAINMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I was a kid, what was my great gift? Being a great entertainer! I am literally the most entertaining person that I know, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve only met maybe two people in the flesh who outperformed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it is a form of social conquest, trolling around, having fun etc.! Maybe it is that I seek to be the biggest dick in the room? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s supposed to question is, why do I care? Why do I care to be the biggest dick in the room<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure? Maybe the desire to dominate is in my DNA?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I became the<\/em> street photographer \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you like it or not, all street photographers, especially young ones are disciples of ERIC KIM. How and why? I essentially created a metaphorical Bible or textbook or encyclopedia and ultimate resource for anything revolving around street photography<\/a>. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

100 lessons from the masters of street photography<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It was always my number one goal to be the number one street photographer on Google<\/a>, to become number one in street photography. As a consequence, my laser like eyes and focus was insanely simple; do everything I could do to become number one on Google for street photography. And the strategy was very very simple, create the most in-depth articles blog posts and information for everything street photography! It took me nearly a decade, but I did it! After that, other domains to conquer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the funny thing is in today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s world\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 certainly Google is relevant, but now that ChatGPT is coming out with their own search engine, which is in my opinion at least 1000 X more intelligent, google should be scared, very scared<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcWhat is the future?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obviously it will be ChatGPT and AI, open AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us consider\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 AI and cars. Besides the vanity object, the ideal is for your car to be 100% self driving, and this is where Tesla is a great bet; one should think of Tesla like artificial intelligence company with wheels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the truth is, if you compare the ride quality of any Tesla car and any Toyota, the Toyota is superior and almost every single shape and form, besides speed. A Tesla is very very uncomfortable, the springs are too harsh, the ride quality is inferior to even my 2010 Prius!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you wanted a car with the ultimate ride comfort, you would probably purchase a Lexus vehicle, or maybe a Mercedes? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I love Tesla and Elon Musk to death, the cars feel pretty cheap. If you wanted the best car, probably get a Lexus LS.\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autopilot is the killer feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But anyways, the really intelligent strategy is to purchase the cheapest base level Tesla car, with the most basic options, and just purchase auto pilot. I think auto pilot for about $8000 is the best deal of all time; it is like having your own personal driving slave that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to be fed, paid, never gets tired, is always ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the new Google pixel that comes with the new pro Gemini AI\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 If your life runs on Gmail, it is kind of the game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t beat them join them \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even Apple is lagging behind in artificial intelligence, the new Apple Intelligence looks pretty lame. Super smart that the Apple team decided to integrate with open AI to integrate ChatGPT into her services; if you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t beat them, join them<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than Apple trying to create a ChatGPT copycat, simply to integrate or offer ChatGPT services on the iPhone is the smart way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess Google has had a bit of a headstart; she was in the AI game for a very long time. And this is where Google to pivot to focus on AI is a good idea. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what will be the purpose of humans now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a brave New World of ChatGPT, AI etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What is the purpose or the significance of humans?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcThe first step is to transfer all of the tedious tasks from humans to ChatGPT. Or AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the greatest innovation of TurboTax is having that new AI that automatically has you categorize all of your expenses. Oh my god, this was literally the most hateful thing about doing my taxes, having to categorize all of my different deductions. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcBut now, what would otherwise take me about eight hours, takes me about eight seconds when you connect TurboTax with your bank accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I love TurboTax!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And this is where the future of things become interesting; all these things in the past which we had to do inefficiently slowly and begrudgingly\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 we should just let AI do it, and we humans do more meaningful things<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Slave Work, Master Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think this is the future; let AI be the new slave, and you, the flesh bound human being, you do the human creative work!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultimate disruption \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ChatGPT is one quadrillion times more productive than you. This is a big deal. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What that means is that the purpose of us humans is not<\/em> productivity. We can finally unchain ourselves from the leashes of this ridiculous notion of productivity<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do the gods of mount Olympus live?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The gods, who live at ease<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You fools, the point of life is not to give fellatio to hard things, hard lives, etc. We should be like Zeus, with the mighty thunderbolt, the gods lived in supreme ease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the funny thing is that when a lot of people retire, make a bunch of money or whatever they are lost\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know how to embrace or live a life of ease; they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still trying to grind their nose against the grinder, because for their whole life, that is what their life was? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would say emulate the gods of the Iliad, ancient Greece. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcRead the new Iliad translation by Emily Wilson, I purchased it in the iBooks store, reading on my iPad Pro and I love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I suppose that the primary thing here to consider is the ethos of human humanity, reasons of living etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think for too long, the whole ethos of humanity was to maximize productivity, income income earning potential, money and capital and capitalism etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but once again, if bitcoin, AI and ChatGPT can do it better than you, by 1 billion fold,,, what is your new life ethos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk free returns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assuming that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a big contractor, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re building a new skyscraper or commercial real estate or whatever, what is the goal? To create income producing property, and to eventually cop a profit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However the great issue here is the cost to capital; the startup costs and the initial investment is too high! As a consequence, let us say that you invested $1 billion to build this new commercial real estate\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You eventually have to find all these tenants to sign a lease, occupy it, pay the lease or the rent, and maybe in 20 or 30 years you can make a positive profit? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming that bitcoin is digital capital, digital land, digital real estate\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The cost of capital is practically zero, you just have to sit and vest, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcI can almost guarantee you that you have a 0% risk over 30 years. And I can almost guarantee you with 100% clarity that bitcoin will go up in the next 30 years. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also like the notion of bitcoin being digital real estate because nobody checks their home price on Zillow 10 times a day, reacting to short term increases or decreases or volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is bitcoin so volatile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is a feature, not a bug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you could trade bitcoin 24\/7, 365, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcevery millisecond. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc
Let us consider how insane this is\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 It is the year 2024, we live in the future, and traditional markets are closed on the weekends? This is 1 trillion times bizarre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming that the real world was like a science fiction film\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Can you Which economic trading doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t happen on the weekends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is why bitcoin is so volatile and always goes up and down, almost randomly because it is always trading! I wonder if the volatility of other assets and stocks are a lot less because simply you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t trade it on the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Flesh future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure that almost 99.9% of men, assuming that they have an iPhone, probably watches porn every single day, almost 100% certain at least once a week or once a month etc. Or better yet, if you want to see whether your friend watches porn or not, ask to see his laptop, and to see whether they have a torrenting or VPN application installed on their MacBook laptop– utorrent, Trasmission etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, if they have the brave browser on their phone, Google Chrome incognito etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost every single person I know who works in tech, knows how to program or code whatever, all use pirate bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyways, once again another bizarre thing; one would never watch pornography which is centered around ideas, souls, personalities, etc. It is always the flesh, the human body!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did it in modern day times, we are trying to deny the human body, and trying to promote instead, one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153personality\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mind\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153soul\u00e2\u20ac\u009d– \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
