That which you are curious about is that what you care for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a very very simple idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAnytime you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re even one percent curious about something, even though it may seem foolish, or have no practical social economic payoff, just indulger curiosity, given that it is a reversible, not a super super expensive thing\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And just try it out, figure it out, bricolage it, learn from it, and share your findings from it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I think one of the great things I learned from blogging is that to experiment and just share your findings, this is the ultimate thing, not necessarily discovering the ultimate truth about anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, in photography, VR, AI, whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Whenever it seems unethical, immoral, bad, evil, degenerate, toxic etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Often enough, it might be the greatest source of insights and intelligence possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Privacy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you an example\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think the whole notion of privacy is essentially having the freedom or the courage or the legal rights to not be persecuted for indulging your curiosities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, when I was experimenting with ChatGPT on sensitive topics, some bad trends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, you are allowed to ask ChatGPT to have Joseph Stalin quotes, Mao Zedong quotes, Karl Marx quotes, Lenin quotes, Ho Chi Minh quotes etc ,,, but the second you ask for Adolf Hitler quotes, it rejects you? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On paper, if you just think about us statistically\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think Joseph Stalin killed 10 times more people than Adolf Hitler did. And I think it is wise to just assume that everything is true\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be one of those weird holocaust and people. I think the most intelligent strategy is assume that all the bad things in history did exist, did happen etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And then from there, think critically about everything.\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you an example, bias in AI: \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc you could ask ChatGPT to create an image of a beautiful Korean woman, but, if you ask ChatGPT to make you an image of a beautiful Jewish person, it rejects you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or, if you ask, what do Korean people look like, it gives you a response. But if you ask it what a Jewish person looks like, it won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does this matter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think the reason why this matters is our kids when they grow up, everyone is going to be using ChatGPT, not Google. Google is on the way out. Even now, I tell people to never google anything, to just ChatGPT it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, whenever I meet people who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know who I am I say: just ChatGPT ERIC KIM! And this is impressive because there are many ERIC KIMs on the planet. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nWhen you are number one for a very common name, it is a sign that you are notorious. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nSo\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. what percentage of guys have used Apple Vision Pro to watch virtual reality porn?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think the only logical way to think about why any technology obsessed guy would spend $3700 on a device is maybe to watch virtual reality porn? Possibly cheaper than going to the strip club, and safer than going to a brothel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc so whenever I meet a guy, who has a virtual reality device or headset or whatever, the first thing I will ask them is whether they have watched or not virtual reality pornography, or not, and I think it is fine! I would actually say it is probably safer more virtuous and better to use virtual reality pornography than going to a real life strip club or a brothel.\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone is still so shy, awkward, and unnecessarily Puritan about things? I think pornography is fine, looking at sexy naked girls is fine whatever\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I think maybe the only bad thing is when you hide it, or you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re secretly ashamed of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc The world is so big<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Everyone becomes indignant about something. But I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think this is very necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, the strange indignation that a lot of people and women want to get with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153white\u00e2\u20ac\u009d guys, why do they care? There are 8 billion people on the planet\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Just let people marry whoever they want! Why do you care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anybody who has too much concern for all 8 billion people on the planet, seems like a major waste of energy and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dark comedy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think comedy is the real antidote and antidote to life. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc For example, being here in Culver City and meeting all these writers actors etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc this is what I discovered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe real writers of comedy shows are very very dark morose and depressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Why have I never met a happy comedian writer or producer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it is very very common\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 You see all these comedians, their lives get messed up, they get addicted to uppers and meth, and amphetamines etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Marijuana to just fall asleep etc. And they all have so much anxiety, depression etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What is the biggest issue here\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anybody who watches comedy, 10 to be very very depressed in real life. And what they are seeking and comedy is some sort of refuge, respite from all of the pain misery and suffering their real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, maybe a more productive and constructive thing to consider is let us do something else\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Which is take very very happy people, and have them write uplifting comedy about things, rather than to hide things?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\ncowards!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Microtech, everyone is a bunch of pussies, a bunch of powers, bunch of skinny fat losers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, anybody who watches any television, like literally anyone, any amount\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Is displaying deep cowardice somewhere. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weightlifting equipment as weapons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Simple thoughts: don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be a little small dick guy and buy a gun, purchasing a gun makes your dick smaller. Also, the bigger your gun the smaller your dick<\/strong>. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Real guys like me who have 12 inch long members, we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need a gun, we have our arms our legs and our courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My practical thought is a lot of these guys want weapons. But, know that you are the most lethal weapon, and your weightlifting equipment could be seen as a metaphorical weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, your barbell, is essentially like the spear of Achilles. Also, farmers carry handles, barbell handles Olympic loadable dumbbell things etc.\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 All of these are metaphorical weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also a funny vision\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 We gotta reinstutute the spear throwing contest, the javelin toss again. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc For example, the way that the ancient heroes, the ancient Greek champions essentially went to battle was to throw spears at one another, or throw rocks at each other. This is where training by throwing around heavy objects, sandbags, rocks, javelin, spears etc. is a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My beloved Texas power squad bar\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The 55 pounder. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc the spear of Achilles, the spear of ERIC KIM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t buy the new loser iPhone Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Just use that money to buy yourself a Texas power squat bar, maybe get the monster bar. If I did it all over again, I would buy the 65 pound Texas power monster bar, because I am a monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nSuper reliable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What is a real man? A man who sacrifices himself, his own needs, for the sake of his wife, his kids, his own nuclear family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWould Achilles want to own a single-family home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
No. All he would lust for his battle. War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weaklings and cowards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Assuming that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re Achilles, and everyone else is just upon or a weakling or a slave\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Just ignore them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
