Maybe not social media, but digital people, digital media? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it looks like the open Internet is still the best thing we got?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You fools\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you know that Reddit got bought out by the news corporation, if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to be a digital slave anymore, just quit it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, the notion of news comes from the notion of new\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 News is anything which is new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc however, the reason why news is bad is because typically almost 99.99% of new things are bad, not not worth reading consuming or interacting or engaging with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if something is really really really critical and important, sooner or later you will see it in the real world, in embodied reality! Without even trying to force yourself to discover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, let us assume that you were totally off the grid, sooner or later you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to see a cyber truck on the road, and your mind will be blown! Without going on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
News, is the ultimate toxic thing. This is also where Google is bad. They sell the news and advertisements. And the more sensational something is, whether in the news or YouTube, will drive more advertising money and revenue. As a consequence, our world becomes hyper sensationalized in a fake way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easiest number one best thing you could do for your soul and your mind is just uninstalled everything from your phone, besides FaceTime and Apple Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even now, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to think more and more, Google maps is so sneaky. Why? For example, let us say you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re trying to drive to a Trader Joe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s or Amazon fresh or whatever, and you search it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The new first thing they will always show you is an advertisement for a competitive Location, and the word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153ad\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is not even in yellow anymore, it is in black-and-white! And if it is your mom, she is going to have no idea that that is an advertisement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be surprised sooner or later, Google just gets \u00ef\u00bf\u00bcrid of the word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and just end up lending ad ad advertisements from true organic responses, without telling anybody. Or they will make it so sneaky that eventually, people won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think one of the best things about building my own home gym, and lifting weights myself and exercising myself without going to a commercial gym is because I no longer really compute or compare myself with others. And also, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not really trying to impress anybody else, because in my own soul, already know that I am pound for pound the strongest human being on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us consider, if ERIC KIM at 5\u00e2\u20ac\u02dc11\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 tall, at a body weight of around 165, with a 5% body fat and a six pack, can lift 1000 pounds, aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t I pound 4 pound the strongest human being on the planet? And also\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I did this all fasted! Only water and black coffee. And not only that, no stupid knee wraps, belt, or accessories. Just pure flesh bone and muscles. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being in LA Los Angeles, honestly most guys are wimpy. Even the guys who work out, they all eventually have chicken legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even at the beach, or in public, I almost never see anybody who look more strong or powerful or dominant than me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyways, the pernicious thing about social media, YouTube, competitive powerlifting whatever is everyone is always trying to judge themselves and comparison with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But once you could lift 1000 pounds, and nobody even comes halfway\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Why do you care anymore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And also, assuming that you had a Brad Pitt fight club aesthetic, and physique, and could successfully lift 1000 pounds without any steroids or weird stuff\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t this be more important and superior \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc then if you took steroids, look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, and yet could only lift 300 or 400 pounds? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The closest thing we got so far is powerlifting, and strongman. But both of those are out, because I think in competitive powerlifting, it is almost expected that 100% of people are on steroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only is steroids permitted in competitive powerlifting, but also, part of the thing! Like, as a weight lifter would use \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcchalk to improve his grip on the barbell\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 A competitive power lifter would use steroids in his butt hole, not even thinking twice because it is part of the routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, in the strong man community, which is a very very bizarre field, is a bunch of fat dudes with steroids, who eat insanely dirty, in order to lift 2000 pounds? And they are also stupid because they think that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re becoming heavier will make them positively stronger, which is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you had a Ford F-150 Raptor truck, and you put it side-by-side to a Tesla model S plaid, obviously the Tesla is 1 trillion times faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And also, at my old commercial gym, I was at least three times stronger than everyone else in the gym, but certainly more than half the guys at the gym had more muscle mass than me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Does power and strength equate with size and mass?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some basic things\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Assuming that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a 4 foot man, versus a 7 foot tall man\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think superficially we will always think that the 7 foot tall man will be stronger. Because for humans, it is super simple and basic: for the most part, size, bigger, bigger height means more powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But once again, if you watch a movie 300\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Would you rather be king Leonidas or one of those Persians slave monsters, which is about 10 feet tall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, even if you had the worlds most beautiful woman, with the most perfect breast and butts and waste line and body parts possible, the most beautiful face possible and eyes, if she were only 3 feet tall, she cannot be beautiful. Humans know\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 We have an innate sense of proportions in human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you are a man, assuming you had the most handsome face, the most chiseled jawline, the most incredible body and eight pack, but once again if you were only 3 feet tall, you would not really command any respect from nobody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
